Sassy Pesto
New Build Forever Home, Where Tradition and Modernity Unite in Perfect Harmony
Balancing the modern tastes and traditional nostalgia of each of our clients during this project was a challenge we were keen to embrace. Traditional elements such as the pitched roof-forms with cathedral-ceilings meets modern detailing and low-carbon materials to create a bold statement.

An entrepreneurial couple with two large dogs and two separate home-based businesses team up to create a headquarters for life - where the ideals of “work-life flow” are embodied as built form.
Sassy Pesto is more than a modern barn-style home; it's a sanctuary that reflects the personality and aspirations of its inhabitants. Whether they seek a serene retreat after a productive workday or a vibrant space to nurture their entrepreneurial spirit, this residence is designed to meet the unique lifestyle needs of our clients.

Situated on a sleepy creek in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, this home is a lesson in crafting dramatic 3D spaces punctuated by careful window placement. This approach allows our client to embrace views of the trees and sky without compromising the privacy of the home.
The bold forms of the building are a result of careful utilisation of the wedge-shaped block and a client request for a pitched roof with cathedral ceilings to the living room.
The name "Sassy Pesto" is inspired by the two main Dulux colours used in the project - "Sassy" orange and "Pesto" green.
