Located in a tightly held Yarra‑side pocket of Kew, this residential project reimagines an existing dwelling within a deeply landscaped suburban setting. The design responds to the site’s elevated position and proximity to parkland, prioritising outlook, privacy and a strong connection to the surrounding greenery.

The project carefully balances retention and renewal, upgrading the existing fabric while introducing contemporary interventions that improve spatial flow, amenity and environmental performance. Living spaces are oriented to maximise natural light and long views, while private zones are embedded within the quieter aspects of the site. Material selections emphasise durability and restraint, allowing the landscape to remain a dominant presence.

The project reflects a sensitive approach to suburban transformation, enhancing an established home while respecting the character of its Yarra‑edge context and reinforcing the relationship between architecture, landscape and everyday living.
