A landmark home, not a background one.

Forma holds its position on the street through proportion rather than volume. The form is resolved, the materials were chosen rather than specified, and the work you will never see was done to the same standard as the work you can.

Inside, the plan is generous without being wasteful. Every room has a job, and the house has been shaped around the way a family actually moves through a day, from the first coffee to the last light going off.

Architectural presence

The building announces itself through form and proportion, long before you notice a single detail. Confident, resolved, and in no hurry to impress you.

Designed for Northcote

Established inner north, with the character streets and genuine community that take decades to earn. The location was chosen carefully rather than talked up.

Materiality

The palette does the talking. Brick, render, timber, reeded glass and marble, chosen for how they feel as much as how they photograph.

Family life, properly understood

A guest suite that works on its own, an upstairs retreat, a proper home office and a cellar. Built around how the home works, not just how it looks.
