Rathmines Project by a JV of 8 women was unique model for property development - a Community Collaboration Project.

8 women joined forces to create two architecturally different, yet complementary and sustainable homes, by pushing the traditional boundaries associaed with property development in Melbourne’s leafy northern suburb of Fairfield.

Partnering with Ben Callery Architects, we designed two houses with their own individualistic flair. The vision for each home is to create distinct spaces that will speak to the homebuyers’ sense of identity.

Using clean, fresh and contemporary lines, a sense of openness and an abundance of natural light, the look will be softened by materials and finishes reflective of north-side style: sophistication and edginess served with a side of character and personality.

Although there were plenty of personality clashes and the organisation of the build itself was rather chaotic, it was a profitable project, full of learnings and life experience!
