Siteworks in the Philippines – February 2019
With the typhoon season over construction work was able to commence on our Philippine project at the end of 2018. With ground works complete, the new house is starting to emerge on the beautiful island of Bohol. Here we see what will become the main entry.
Design for Seaforth – January 2019
We have recently had the pleasure of designing a new home on a stunning waterfront block in Seaforth. One of the design challenges was to maintain vehicle access across the steeply sloping site, which limited the potential footprint of the building. Our solution was to develop the “Corbel House” whereby concrete corbels are used to cantilever upper levels and increase their usable area. With two solid base levels housing sleeping and ancillary areas the top floor is a lightweight pavilion style structure sitting on an expanded terrace with commanding views of Middle Harbour.
Occupation on Read Street – December 2018
In before Christmas. It was always going to be a tight program to get our clients into their new home before Christmas but with a well-organized design team and PMD Build able to work to tight deadlines this large new build construction was built in well under a year. Our clients are equally delighted with the design and the quality of finishing. This steel staircase forms a sculptural centerpiece to the home and fills the entry with natural light.
Grand Designs – November 2018

Design for the Philippines – August 2018
We have completed design development for our first international project which will be built on the island of Bohol in the Philippines. The design was conceived taking two major factors into consideration: the construction methods and materials available on the island and the extremes of the tropical climate.
Read Street Siteworks – July 2018

Olphert Photography – Feb 2018
Our first time working with photographer Tom Ferguson has produced a stunning set of images. Assisted by stylist Emma Elizabeth the photos really bring the design to life.
