VOGUE LIVING: Spotted Gum House
Alexander & Co's Spotted Gum House is an exercise in innovative, sustainable and explorative design. Playing with scale, materiality and a tonal, earthy palette, we created seamless connectivity between comfortable liveability and contemporary architecture.

“One of the core precepts of the project was that she [the client] wanted to ‘enjoy’ the process. She chose the team based on what and who would give her a high level of involvement. She wanted it to be unhurried and very careful. She wanted to understand not just the what, but the why — that is pretty uncommon.”
– Jeremy Bull, Alexander & Co.
Launching from the original interwar-era stylings, the expanded home takes cues from the original as it reinterprets the newer elements.
There’s a little homegrown Henry Wilson, a hint of Danish modernism, some quiet Italian elegance and New York illumination in Apparatus fittings.
