THE nook
residential
Rosewater, Adelaide, Australia.
Location:
Inspired by the idea of a ‘home within a home,’ this design turns each space into intimate, cosy nooks that encourage creativity and self-expression through bold, distinctive personalities.
Each nook is a bespoke reflection of the client’s tastes, blending luxury with tailored comfort to create spaces that feel indulgent and personal. These areas are designed to resonate with the client’s character, providing a unique sanctuary.
The playful colour palette evokes emotions and stimulates interest, which deepens the emotional connection to the home, each nook a canvas for personal expression.
Overall, the design concept merges comfort with individuality, infusing playful sophistication to create a home that is both a retreat and a source of inspiration.

BIOLOGI
COMMERCIAL
Location:
47 George Street, Sydney, Australia.
Biologi’s redesign merges the brand’s values of natural beauty, minimalism, and inner wellness into a cohesive environment that integrates retail, hospitality, and office spaces. The entrance features a prominent retail zone, guiding customers seamlessly to the café, anchored by a striking onyx coffee bar. The entire ceiling serves as a light panel, symbolizing Biologi’s focus on inner beauty and creating a calm, inviting atmosphere.
Illuminated acrylic plinths in the retail area draw attention to products, while multiple dining spaces ensure continuous brand engagement. The southeast office zone maximizes natural light, with an open-plan layout fostering collaboration and community. The use of white tones, timber, and glass elements creates a bright, clean aesthetic, complemented by comfortable, functional furniture and natural materials like marble and stone.
Biologi’s new space is designed to be a sanctuary, reflecting the brand’s commitment to simplicity and wellness, offering a harmonious and inspiring environment for both customers and employees.

villa victorian
residential
Location:
Healesville, Victoria, Australia.
This renovated Victorian space harmonizes the historic elegance of the era with contemporary design elements. The deep green walls and ceiling pay homage to traditional Victorian colour palettes, while the clean lines and minimalist furniture introduce a modern aesthetic.
The natural wood dining table serves as a central anchor, complemented by the vibrant orange upholstery of the chairs, adding a bold pop of colour to the room.
The unique pendant light fixture above the table, reminiscent of floating organic forms, contrasts the room’s structured arches and built-in cabinetry, creating a dynamic interplay between old and new.
The selection of art and decor further bridges past and present, making the space feel both timeless and current, perfect for intimate gatherings and reflective moments.

RIGO STREET
residential
Location:
10 Rigo Street, Victoria, Australia.
Completed in 2022, the renovation of 10 Rigo Street was a thoughtful effort to enhance and honour the home's original 1965 charm while modernizing its spaces. The design aimed to brighten the interiors with neutral tones like greys and charcoals, creating a serene and timeless atmosphere.
The kitchen and dining areas were expanded and refreshed with crisp white finishes to enhance the sense of space. In a nod to the home's mid-century roots, the original stone fireplace was preserved, beautifully complementing the overall design and adding character to the modernised home.
