Draft House — considered materiality and curtained spatial zones

A 35m² apartment in the heart of Fitzroy, approached as an exercise in deliberate constraint. Conceived in collaboration with Design & Diplomacy for a novelist who required a space that could shift fluidly between living, working, and rest — we delivered a considered fit-out where every element earns its place.

Polished concrete slab extending throughout, fold-away workspaces, curtained zones for spatial flexibility, and a reimagined bedroom enclosure that redefines the relationship between privacy and openness. Nothing incidental. Nothing excessive.
