Garden Pod Over the Pond
This garden pod in Newport, VIC redefines what a small backyard studio can be. Designed as part of a broader home renovation in Hobsons Bay, the 12m² pavilion cantilevers over an existing pond, creating a quiet retreat immersed in landscape. Clad in green tile and lined internally with warm plywood, the pod balances coastal durability with calm, flexible design. Navigating a heritage overlay and rear easement, the project demonstrates how thoughtful, architect-led renovation design can transform even modest additions into spatially rich, light-filled spaces connected deeply to garden and water.
Heritage Home Renovation in Williamstown in Melbourne’s Inner West
This internal renovation focused on improving layout, storage and connection to the garden, all within the existing footprint. By reworking the kitchen, bathroom and laundry, and introducing a separate backyard work pod, the project shows how targeted changes can dramatically improve everyday living without the need for an extension.
