A modern family home in Melbourne’s Deepdene, this residence blends clean architectural lines with warm natural materials. Featuring a central courtyard, expansive glazing, and seamless indoor–outdoor living, it highlights open-plan interiors, custom joinery, and a resort-style pool for refined contemporary living.

Hood House is a playful protector that respects the heritage character of Carlton North whilst celebrating purposeful change. It is a luxurious yet compact and hyper-functional home defined by an exploration of contrast: it is ornamental and restrained, subdued and lively, stately and casual, compartmental and open. For us, it is also a project with an unusual history. This dual-natured renovation evolved through the ownership of two separate clients. Originally intended to accommodate the needs of a young family of four, we shifted gears at the eleventh hour and adapted a thoroughly resolved design solution to the needs of only two. From a young, nuclear family to a blended adult one, our design solution was put to a test of flexibility. The result is a subtle renovation almost invisible from the street yet dramatic in its expressive qualities. An oblique view from the northwest reveals the playful zigzag of the new roof, the rippling metal hood. This is a form-making exercise that connects old to new as well as establishing spatial drama in what might otherwise have been utilitarian rooms upstairs. A simple palette of Australian hardwood timbers and white surfaces are complimented by tactile splashes of brass and rich moments of colour that reveal themselves from behind closed doors. Our internal joke is that Hood House is like Lazarus, risen from the ashes. We’re grateful that almost six years of hard work have culminated in this beautiful, protective and playful house, and so pleased that Glenda and Alistair get to call it home.

Cette propriété prestigieuse de près de 500 m2, inscrite au patrimoine nantais, domine la plus belle rivière de France. Ses nouveaux propriétaires souhaitaient un intérieur à leur image, tout en préservant le cachet, l'âme et le caractère de la villa. Nous avons ainsi redonné vie aux parquets et boiseries cachées, valorisé et accentué les moulures, travaillé avec des produits de qualité et des matériaux nobles. Une rénovation haut de gamme, dans une ambiance douce et luxueuse.

At the bottom of the stairs, this runner is met by a Victorian-style tiled area. Both complement each other. The runner is a light grey Shetland runner with bold, darker stripes at the sides, which serve as a border. It is finished with Iron stair rods, which are now used for decoration purposes.

This staircase and hallway are a true one off. We designed custom secret storage under the staircase to make us of the space. The handrail, newel posts, base rails and hallway wall panelling were all custom made in our workshop. We used birch plywood to create the unique grain detail on the panelling and handrails. The newel post was inlaid with a geometric design, all made from solid birch plywood. The stairs were clad with engineered oak, and the glass balustrade was custom made for this project.

Hallway

The winding staircase gracefully mimics the organic growth of a creeper as it wraps around the column, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes by guiding the eye upward to the first floor. - DGK Architects

Sweeping Staircase

This classic curved stair situated in the entryway of a new Tauranga home, makes a stunning statement the moment you walk in the door. Stained American Ash handrails, bullnose tread and stair trims contrast beautifully with the timber floors, light blue walls and off-white balustrade. A traditional masterpiece!
