Richmond project featured in The Design Files
Tsai Design and Yarrabank Builders collaborated to refresh a Richmond home shaped by 20 years of lived experience. After previous renovations, the 2021 update—nicknamed ‘The Final Edit’—focused on the ground floor, improving flow, storage, and indoor-outdoor connection. The kitchen was moved beside the deck, the western wall opened to the outdoors, and the living, dining, and outdoor areas were seamlessly linked. A palette of pale timber and two-tone blue cabinetry adds warmth and cohesion, while a darker blue study hides a secret pink-tiled bathroom. A clever sliding door allows two people to use the bathroom at once—just one of many practical touches that make this home feel truly complete.

South Melbourne project featured in Habitus Living
Healy Ryan Architects and Yarrabank Builders transformed a narrow South Melbourne terrace into a luminous, modern sanctuary, blending tradition with innovation to overcome heritage constraints and limited space. A two-story light shaft channels sunlight into the reconfigured interiors, while a minimalist design maximises space with an oak kitchen island, larch flooring, and granite benchtops. The project also included constructing a new basement beneath the heritage-listed dwelling, achieved through five complex concrete pours on a site with just 1.7m access.

Surrey Hills project featured in Melbourne Home Design and Living magazine
This special project was built in honour of the client’s father-in-law, an architect who sadly passed away shortly after he designed the renovation plans. The stunning extension provides ample room for visiting family and friends, as well as space for the kids to run around and play – the perfect tribute to the client’s late loved one and a dream family home.
