Local Projects
Our East Ivanhoe Statement Residence, recently featured on Channel Nine’s Dream Homes Revealed, is a striking four-bedroom, four-bathroom architectural home designed for a family of four who love where they live but wanted to create something exceptional in East Ivanhoe Village.
Featuring a sweeping music/formal living room with a soaring 5-metre cedar ceiling and a baby grand piano, an entertainer’s kitchen with a waterfall island and butler’s pantry, and a lower-ground workspace with its own street entrance, this home balances nods to the art deco heritage of the area with modern luxury. Every space is crafted for comfort, acoustics and lifestyle—from the exceptional alfreso spaces to the opulent master ensuite with freestanding bathtub and sauna.
Knock down rebuild in Ivanhoe East, Eaglemont and Ivanhoe
A new home on your existing block lets you keep the location you love while removing the compromises of renovating. We handle feasibility, planning, heritage considerations and construction under one roof so you have a clear path from first ideas to completion.
Knock down rebuilds are especially valuable if you’re thinking of downsizing but don’t want to leave the neighbourhood. We can design a home that is more efficient, lower-maintenance, and future-ready while still reflecting the area’s character.
Building for Sloping blocks in the Ivanhoe area
Design expertise for complex sites
Parts of Ivanhoe and Eaglemont have natural slopes that can make building more challenging. We specialise in designing homes that work with the slope rather than against it, creating multi-level living with natural light, views, and functional outdoor connections.
Our architects consider access, drainage and retaining early in the design process, ensuring your home is practical as well as beautiful.
