Four residences.
Shown with their owners’ consent, and within its limits. The full record behind each — including the owners themselves — opens to serious clients in person.
Vaucluse House
Sandstone · Off-form concrete · A falling siteTwo of its twenty-six months were spent below the finished floor — rock anchors, drainage, tanking. Everything above rests on them.
Renewed behind its own face.
A 1920s home, kept. The original brick repointed by hand; behind it, new structure, services and thermal envelope.
From the street, nothing appears to have happened. That was the entire brief.
The family visited every Saturday. By the end, their youngest could name the trades.
A house wecannot show you.
Its owners asked for no photography, and meant it. It stands near the ocean. Every external fixing is marine-grade; each timber was chosen for how it will weather. That is all we will say.
Discretion is only worth something when it costs something. Here, it costs us the best pictures we have ever taken.

A narrow site: nowhere to store anything, no margin for a missed lift. The structural programme was craned, planned to the day.
The clients lived next door throughout. They are still our clients — and their neighbours have since become two of our references.
The record is better in person.
Documents as much as rooms — and the owners themselves. A reference whose house has been through three winters is worth more than anything we could publish.
