This garden seen from a gloomy lounge room was created to brighten up the corner window. The existing brick walls and palm trees provide a perfect backdrop for a colourful and fresh tropical garden, using Serpentine rocks as features set in pebbles to highlight the area. Gradation of height in the plants links the palm trees and walls to the flowers on the ground creating a cohesive and harmonious space. David Hogan

House Renovation to existing beach Cottage A Post war cottage / house location in Lota/Manly was becoming too small for a family of 4 and needed to be extended to accommodate 2 new bedrooms but also opened up to give the house a sense of openness and create additional living areas for the family to enjoy and to be connected to the outdoors. By creating high level ceilings in the bedrooms we added much needed space as well as height and light to the rooms with high level louvres. Mezzanine beds were also built in the high level space to create more room for the kids. The use of high level ply ceilings creates warmth to the room . All of the rooms in the front of the house were removed to create open living which meant the house felt a-lot bigger and the new kitchen became the heart of the house which is the main focus from all of the rooms. The new renovation included a new bathroom, kitchen, new spotted timber flooring and a new footprint making the house 70sqm larger.

Using different sized and different coloured pebbles, pretty flowers and an upright rock to link the wall to the ground creates interest in this window garden set between the blandness of the carpet and pavers and the freshness of the grass. This is the inside of the home office looking out and needs to be bright and alive as any dullness in the view will influence the work carried out and the enthusiasm of the client. David Hogan

This Northern Beaches walk-in shower emphasizes thoughtful geometry. An architectural circular skylight floods the seamless microcement enclosure with natural light.
