The clients wanted to create a working hub for their dedicated team, using the rawness of the original building and by inserting working pods in a very interactive space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5becd9b72487fd6815b1f9e9/1542274617541-0F81PL6E8LP6T6R2639S/004.jpg Commercial - Buzz, Design and Development Buzz, an innovative design company, seeks a new Head Office which reflects its philosophy. The commercial development in St. Kilda retains the existing building with the addition of two levels of office space. The profile of the architectural form is volumetric and sculpted to alleviate the massing of the adjoining properties. The form and materiality of the façade provides opportunities to frame the city views while providing efficient shading to the north, creating an optimal working environment within. It was inspired by the ancient art of origami, the works of Ruth Asawa and the form + detail of Buckminster Fuller’s Geodesic Dome. The design includes four new tenancies at ground floor level with a café fronting onto Wellington Street. The remaining three tenancies would suit smaller ’start-up’ businesses by virtue of their size. The opportunity to support new business practice is seen as a desirable outcome for the building owner. Levels one to three will be commercial office space for Buzz. Central to the proposal is the creation of comfortable, open plan working environments, which facilitate communication and creativity. The orientation of the site creates the opportunity to include a double height, north facing winter garden with outdoor terrace areas on levels two and three, both of which overlook the city. These levels incorporate a large central atrium space, which opens out at the roof level. The atrium strengthens both the visual and physical connectivity between each of the floors, allowing for natural light and cross ventilation throughout the space. The articulation of the Wellington Street façade creates a seamless transition between levels, providing coverage for the ground floor entry and terrace area as well as folding back to minimise the massing to the south west corner. The facades envisaged will be constructed from steel and clad in three primary materials. There will be two colours and profiles of perforated steel mesh, one dark and the other a bronze. The mesh panels will form the parts of the facade where there is to be natural ventilation and light into the balcony space behind. The different perforations can be alternated to introduce more or less light into the space. A solid metal composite panel will clad the structure behind, provide shading where required, and frame the views. The simplicity of form and the finely crafted façade translates a series of patterns and shadow play into the space, which changes throughout the day to create a unique working environment. The proposal will be a vibrant and unique component of the St Kilda tapestry, helping to articulate the mixed-use quality of Wellington Street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5becd9b72487fd6815b1f9e9/1620623072780-O0SCK91BVZGEGC79XF19/04-JDB_2020-11-25_0041_H-Edit.jpg Commercial Photography - Jaime Diaz-Berrio https://www.justinarchitecture.com.au/new-index-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5becd9b72487fd6815b1f9e9/447c2f98-07c2-43cc-a6f1-1b4657f923ae/JDB_2023-11-10_0090_H.jpg Multi-Residential - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5becd9b72487fd6815b1f9e9/2acc212b-ce5b-4959-99bc-6474a1b29aae/JDB_2023-11-10_0085_H.jpg Multi-Residential - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5becd9b72487fd6815b1f9e9/2b05aca8-90ce-4220-b6da-13787b600e48/JDB_2023-11-10_0047_H.jpg Multi-Residential - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5becd9b72487fd6815b1f9e9/a1d7e158-fef2-4f82-96e2-1bc988d07444/JDB_2023-11-10_0050_H.jpg Multi-Residential - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5becd9b72487fd6815b1f9e9/1542255657190-UWBO8NA74QM687ELM4Z8/004.jpg Multi-Residential https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5becd9b72487fd6815b1f9e9/1542599758211-ONNZ4N5P9PZX2TRD6OSN/007.jpg Multi-Residential - Caulfield, Design and Development This three level luxury apartment development on a sloping site within a residential streetscape, integrates the façade into the neighbouring suburban scale whilst creating three full flowing apartments with a basement car park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5becd9b72487fd6815b1f9e9/1542255355899-LN6NDDA83F2DMDCZSG6D/_I4C7672.jpg Multi-Residential - LUMLEY, 2016 The grandeur of the Art Deco era meets contemporary detail in Lumley located in Williams Road, Prahran. It is a quality boutique residential development incorporating refit and new build. Adjacent to Lumley Gardens and close to cosmopolitan shopping neighbourhoods and public transport, these six two-bedroom apartments each with large courtyards or balconies and stacker carpark, offer a relaxed and sophisticated lifestyle within a vibrant urban setting. With an 8 star energy rating the project encompasses many environmental initiatives including solar generation for 100% electrical needs, double glazing, high thermal performance and rainwater harvesting. The apartments boast a sophisticated material palette creating an elegant living space. The kitchens feature timber veneer cabinetry, marble splashbacks and European appliances. High ceilings and abundant natural light are offset by generous courtyards or balconies. The Art Deco character of the original building influences the interiors of the four original apartments; dark timber stained floors, original fireplaces, moulded cornices, panelled doors and soft grey walls. The spaces are of generous proportion and allow for the seamless fusion of deco and contemporary design. Light timber floors and white walls carry a distinctly contemporary feel through the two new apartments.

It aims to provide a considered and appropriate built form, to an already varied and eclectic local architectural environment, on a site uniquely located on the edge of a residential and commercial zone. The development proposes a four level residential development accommodating 40 apartments, and providing for a mix of tenure: 5 three bedroom apartments; 28 two bedroom apartments; and 7 one bedroom apartments. The development also includes basement car parking, providing a total of 45 car spaces for the residents, along with two visitor spaces. By utilising materials and design strategies that reference the surrounding suburban landscape, the development nestles itself into the surrounding fabric whilst presenting a contemporary, yet subtle and considered, architectural interjection to the area. The natural materials of brick, timber and black metal, the maximisation of natural light and ventilation to all apartments and appropriate landscaping treatment provide warmth and texture to the building which, along with well-thought-out internal layouts and good amenity, will nurture a sense of belonging for the future residents as well as providing excellent living environments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5becd9b72487fd6815b1f9e9/1542593926498-J9OPPCO88PJXHY7D3SC1/141107+-+Wilo+-+Exterior_Low+Res.jpg Multi-Residential - WILO, Town Planning The WILO development (High Street, Prahran) is proposed as a mixed use development, consisting of 48 apartments, 3 retail tenancies and basement car park. The contemporary design, materials and finishes were intended to complement the industrial language of this particular area. These included white rendered concrete as well as mid-grey and dark grey tones. Copper decorative panels were a feature of the High Street, as well as the Victoria Street, facade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5becd9b72487fd6815b1f9e9/1542251464796-I5PHHP9A4ZV3NDIY4SGJ/JDB_2016-02-05_0044+-+Version+2.jpg Multi-Residential - ARTHOUSE, 2015 This contemporary development evolved from two derelict houses with a shopfront facing Chapel Street, St. Kilda. ARTHOUSE retains the shopfronts whilst integrating façade murals by local street artist Tunni Kraus whose inspiration references the milliner and confectioner of it’s 1920s origins. Behind nestle 12 apartments that pioneer a new urban direction, with architecture that is responsive to its location and environment. The three level development sits comfortably in the streetscape. Single level dwellings and two-to-four storey apartments occupy the close proximity. Forms fold and interlock to create a series of volumes. Materials used are robust and urban. The original redbrick is reused and the exposed concrete soffits within the apartments adds to the simplicity of form. Finely crafted detailing creates an urban oasis in the heart of a pulsing community. The aim was to create a benchmark development within the Port Phillip area for Environmentally Sustainable Design. The apartments utilise best practice design principles which incorporate natural light and ventilation. 10 of the 12 apartments face north. The 7.6 energy star rating represents many environmental initiatives including solar generation for 85% of electrical needs, double glazing, high thermal performance and rainwater harvesting.

The architectural form is inspired by the mid-century apartment buildings and homes for which Caulfield is renowned for. The design has been treated as a single entity to reflect the residential living style of the area and acts as a bridge between the other houses and the multi-unit dwellings in the street. The project utilises best design practice principles; they incorporate double glazing throughout, cross ventilation and solar boosted hot water. The townhouses each have their private open spaces facing north with all bedrooms on level one maximising natural light and ventilation. The subtle palette includes concrete render with black highlights to the window surround. A timber recessed volume articulates the façade, which also conceals the garage doors. A patterned screen highlights the entry experience adding a delicacy to the robust material selection, giving this development a distinctive and timeless aesthetic.

We added a first level addition to cater to a growing family, creating a connection between interior and exterior spaces. Making the most of the orientation and by retaining the existing brick, we doubled the footprint using a simple, natural palette and retaining the existing brick. This renovation transformed a worn-out unit into a light filled, functional and inviting home.

We demolished a series of lean to’s to create a large open plan living/dining area, opening out to a north facing lush garden. The heritage features of the original house were retained and restored, and were juxtaposed with an addition with an industrial/contemporary language.

There were a series of lean to’s and a rabbit warren of rooms, which we replaced with a contemporary addition that was warm, bright, vibrant and functional. We added windows to capture northern light and improve cross ventilation, and opened up the back of the house, providing an open plan kitchen/living room to create a strong connection to the garden and view.

It comprises a dedicated gallery space at first floor level and residence at second floor level, designed specifically to display art. The building has a high 7+ star environmental rating, achieved through initiatives such as high thermal performance building enclosure, double glazing, solar panels, recycled water, low energy lighting and recycled rubber flooring. One of the ambitions of JAHM was to integrate art projects into the architecture. Justin Architecture together with the clients invited three contemporary artists to undertake separate commissions that engaged the public when visiting JAHM. Tunni Kraus created a striped wall composition that was inspired by the striped canvas awnings that were prevalent in the suburbs in the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s. In the selection and spacing of the standard pre-finished colours of the metal cladding, Tunni has imbued the walls with an understated dynamic, that clearly demarcates the gallery component within the architectural composition of the building. Paul Snell is a Tasmanian artist whose art practice involves the digital decomposition of his photographs which he then recombines to create vibrant abstract images. Paul was commissioned to create a full wall glazed panel that consists of rich coloured horizontal stripes. Within the context of the polished stainless steel walls and ceiling of the lift enclosure, the photographic panel is endlessly reflected to create a vibrant immersive experience. Ilan El, an Israeli born, Melbourne based lighting artist was commissioned to create an interactive, immersive lighting experience over the 3 flights of stairs, consisting of 39 steps at JAHM. Each step has an LED strip light which have all colours independently controlled by a computer in which Ilan inputted 50 lighting programs which randomly sequence. To make the work interactive, infrared sensors are located at the top and bottom of each flight of stairs, which when tripped change the lighting sequence into a unique personal lighting experience.

The brief was to create an environment to foster best practice in boys education and specifically a fidelity to Edmund Rice Chrism. The redevelopment focused on energising under utilised school spaces and the creation of meaningful connections with the surrounding public domain. A hidden, dreary undercroft and enclosed recreational facilities were transformed into vibrant and flexible spaces. The design of the central spine also activates spaces that were stagnant and transient.
