Hampton House

Hampton, Bayside, Victoria
With a growing family, the number one value is space, and lots of it. This particular family bought this old California Bungalow and wanted to rebuild it for their children, knowing they would enjoy it for years to come. The challenge was that this property was south-facing. I needed design to bring north light into new living spaces while opening them to the backyard.

Show me the before and after
Gable House

Sandringham, Bayside, Victoria
A young professional couple with small children knew their existing Edwardian weatherboard house had more potential. The previous owner had tacked on the bedroom in the back which coincided with the original kitchen and living room. This meant little to no privacy for the parents. The space was dark, and poorly connected and a fix to the flow of the space was in order.

Where are they now?
Red Brick House

Sandringham, Bayside, Victoria
This house needed some instant recovery. The entire house felt a little Frankensteined together. I imagined it would be owner-built so many times. The master plan was lacking; to access the master bedroom, you had to walk through the lounge room. There was also an extension made in the 80s that did not help with the flow of the house.

Art Deco House

Caulfield North
Art Deco House is a charming interwar brick and stucco residence located in the inner Melbourne suburb of Caulfield North. Originally comprising two small bedrooms, a cramped bathroom, a tiny kitchen, and a deteriorating outdoor laundry, the home was in urgent need of renewal.

WHY WORK WITH ME?

Good design isn’t about size — it’s about how a home feels to live in.

My focus is on flow, light and efficiency, so every space works harder without unnecessary excess.

Clients often say the biggest change isn’t just in the layout, but in how much calmer their home feels once it truly fits their family.
