Project 3104 · A closer look

Every home starts
with a possibility.

Follow the idea, the work and the details that made this home its own.

01 / The starting point

An idea worth pursuing.

A long collaboration with the clients led to a bespoke replacement home, designed by Araco Design Studio across three floors.

The original property during early works.
02 / On site

From plans to a place.

Rooflights, glazing and changes in height began to define the spaces within. The build brought together the structure, materials and building services.

03 / The detail

The connections matter.

A bespoke staircase and triple-height hallway connect the floors. Light, timber and carefully considered junctions give these shared spaces their character.

The finished staircase and entrance spaces.
04 / The finished home

Made personal.

Charred timber, brick and warm interiors come together in a home with its own character. A garden studio and secluded courtyard extend the story outdoors.
