Hills Residence
Set within an elevated landscape, the Hills Residence was redesigned to better engage with its surroundings. Reorienting the layout and introducing expansive glazing strengthened the connection between inside and out. The result is a calm, light-filled home shaped by its setting.
The renovation focused on re-orienting the home towards the landscape. Large openings and expansive glazing were introduced to frame views and draw the outdoors into the interior, while new terraces created generous spaces for entertaining and quiet retreat.
An open-plan layout and the use of natural materials reinforced a seamless relationship between inside and out, allowing the home to sit more comfortably within its environment.
The result is a calm, well-resolved residence that embraces its setting and delivers a more connected, light-filled living experience.

Designed around how the family lives today, the Floreat Home prioritizes openness, light, and connection. Strategic changes to the layout transformed both the atmosphere and functionality of the space. The kitchen now sits confidently at the heart of a home built for shared living. The Floreat Home had reached a point where its layout no longer supported the way the family lived. Cramped living areas, limited natural light, and a weak connection to the outdoors made the home feel closed off despite its potential. The owners were seeking a more open and connected environment, with the kitchen playing a central role in everyday life. The design focused on breaking down internal barriers, allowing spaces to flow naturally and encouraging interaction across the home. By removing walls and introducing new glazing, light was drawn deeper into the plan, transforming both the atmosphere and functionality of the interior. The reconfigured kitchen now anchors the open living areas, operating as a true family hub rather than a separate workspace. The renovation delivers a cohesive, light-filled home that supports connection, comfort, and long-term performance, while significantly improving the way the space is experienced day to day.
