Butterfly Roof House
The interesting thing about this project is that you would be forgiven for thinking it is not a new build, it is. The front façade of this home was carefully designed to align with the traditional heritage homes of the area. The charming front then adjusts a gear and transitions into a contemporary open-plan rear with butterfly roof separated by a corrugated iron passage to connect both contrasting components.

Pitched Pavilion
This holiday-evoking, family home is the result of combining an existing Californian Bungalow with a new north facing pavilion, pool and granny flat within a sun-filled garden. The beautiful young family favoured both traditional and modern design features, so the solution was for an open plan layout with a refined classic style that connects to their garden through a series of French timber doors.

Kepos & Co.
The client, a passionate chef, Michael was tired of turning away customers who couldn’t fit into his first restaurant, Kepos Street Kitchen. It made sense for him to direct hungry customers one minute down the road to this new space, his second restaurant, Kepos & Co. where they could enjoy a similar menu with North African, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influences.

Inner-West Victorian
The clients, Ben and Sophie, bought their double fronted Victorian brick house that, as usual, was gracious at the front but dysfunctional at the back. Their brief was to create a contemporary layout at the back and to connect to the garden while respecting and enhancing the heritage value of the house as a whole. The result is a considered design that has the space to breathe and bring up their family.

Masala Theory
The owner of Masala Theory, Yashpal Erda, said there’s a part of India Sydney doesn’t get to see. It’s the new part; young entrepreneurs mixing tradition with globalism and the food of their childhood with what they see on Instagram and eat overseas. Yashpal’s design brief was for this to be exposed at the Crown Street restaurant site. The challenge was to illustrate this exciting balance of both new and old India in the materials, furniture and accessories.
