An interior shot by @tfadtomferguson of our latest Rose Bay project, a pair of semi-detached houses. Internally, we have cultivated a sense of openness, natural light and connection to the outdoors. Glimpses of the lush backyard are visible through the open tread staircase that sits along the dividing wall between the two homes.

Images by @tfadtomferguson of our latest Rose Bay project, a pair of semi-detached houses designed for a young family. Balancing form and function, the facade blends dark and light sustainably sourced Abodo timber cladding. The natural palette of the home stands out in the streetscape, reflecting its aesthetic and ecological design intention which aims to meet the higher ideals of modern architecture.

Another glimpse of our recently completed block of ten apartments on Ramsgate Avenue, Bondi, captured by @martinmischkulnig. With a strong focus on materiality, a deliberate textural juxtaposition provides the building with aesthetic notoriety which aims to complement the coastal locale. Smooth surfaces balance with ribbed elements, while matte, concrete finishes contrast with polished metal accents.

From the archive: our dual occupancy project in Dover Heights. The modern, geometric forms create an engaging dialogue with the street, softened by the textural interplay of finely detailed battening on the garage doors and a cobblestoned driveway.

A detail exterior shot by @fortis of No. 1 Carlisle. Honouring the architectural elegance of the grand estate residences in Rose Bay, the design’s curvature and strong aesthetic emanates an enduring presence, balanced by a light and breezy coastal atmosphere. We loved working on this project.
MHNDU Team: Brian Meyerson and Leigh Hanekom
Looking back on some beautiful images of No.1 Carlisle, our boutique apartment block in Rose Bay, designed for @fortisdg. With four levels set high on the corner site, wraparound balconies provide connective outdoor spaces to enjoy the sun. Interiors by our sister studio @lawlessandmeyerson create a tranquil palette which complements the open, breezy feeling of the design.

Rounding off the week with another celebratory picture of Anden, our boutique apartment block in beachside Coogee, which recently won both the Excellence in Design and Excellence in Medium Density Development top gongs at the Urban Design Institute Awards.
A collaboration between @centralelementproperty, @lawlessandmeyerson and @dangarbarinsmith, we are so proud of this beautiful apartment.
MHNDU Team: Liam Hancock, Richard Storey and Amanda Stollery
We are honoured that Anden, our boutique apartment block in beachside Coogee, received the award for both Excellence in Design and Excellence in Medium Density Development at the Urban Design Institute Awards on Friday night. The judges write:
'Anden’s design is the result of an extraordinary collaboration between independent Sydney property developer @centralelementproperty and partners @mhndu, @lawlessandmeyerson, and @dangarbarinsmith. The architects have beautifully woven the striking original architectural identity of the former 1950’s block with the new sustainable build that focuses on craftsmanship, sustainability, and integrity, blending perfectly with the local coastal feel of Coogee.'
Congratulations to all the nominees and winners this year, and a huge nod to our client and collaborators on this beautiful project.

Another capture by @tfadtomferguson of Seaside, a truly remarkable clifftop property in South Coogee. Maximising its vast, uninterrupted ocean views, the home is also designed with a true robustness to stand proud atop the movements of the sea beneath.
Restful shots by @tfadtomferguson of Seaside, perched atop the edge of the cliffs in South Coogee. A dream home for a dream coastline position. Below the pool is a quaint timber deck, built for ocean fishing in the summer months.
A double honour that Pavilion, alongside Constantia, has been nominated as a finalist in this year’s @udia awards. Pavilion sits harmoniously in its natural and built environment, opening to its beautiful ocean views and, through strategic angling and staggering of the building form, blending in with its streetscape context. We sure are proud of this one. The winners are announced 4 August – best of luck to all the outstanding finalists.
