Sincere thanks to all of our clients and collaborators who have supported us through this hectic year. We look forward to continuing these collaborations in 2021. Until then, stay safe and festive!
Not all of our work at MHNDU is new build. Looking forward to the careful restoration of five Paddington terraces on Oxford St.
The work will require a balance between revealing the layers of each era and adapting the run-down shops for viable commercial use.

Bringing Oxford St back to life, the driver behind our client's passion to restore these currently run-down shopfronts in Paddington.
The cue for the design is taken from the central shop, which still retains its original shopfront, with stained glass and emerald green glazed square tiles. The refurbished shopfronts will introduce various types of glass as well as a slightly differently hued tile to let the one original shopfront stand on its merits.

The steel stair at our Bulkara House is taking shape. The stair creates a fine, elegant linking structure between three different materials: off-form concrete, sandstone and glass. Fully welded steel plate is embedded into concrete each side. Dark bronze metallic paint finish will be applied on site.⠀⠀

The owner of our new Vaucluse residence will be able to swim 25m laps on axis with views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The rendered concrete primary frame forms gentle curved corners and is offset by timber-look battened cladding. Large entertaining terraces create the ultimate Sydney lifestyle.

We are so proud of our people and thrilled to be this year’s recipient of the @architecturensw Best in Practice Prize.
The Jury commended the strength of our studio culture, which was definitely tested in 2020!
“MHNDU stood out in this year’s judging due to strategies established and implemented which ensured psychologically safe, flexible and supportive studio and WFH environments. Demonstrating its core practice values of craft, creativity, generosity and respect, the studio has developed clear processes around pay equity, unconscious bias, and career progression, all contributing to the establishment of a workplace that values and supports its members.”
Thank you to @architecturensw and @bespokecareers for the award and congratulations to joint winners @carterwilliamson_architects. Congrats also to Commended and Shortlisted Practices: @mirvacdesign @greenboxarchitecture @architectsajc @nbrsarchitecture
In the market for a rare whole apartment building facing Bondi Beach? Our speculative proposal for the site creates a luxurious single home with generous terraces from which to enjoy the panoramic beach and ocean views. Upper living areas and bedrooms are set back from the brickwork floors below to be recessive from Campbell Parade. Large picture windows will make the most of the iconic views and create bright and airy living spaces.⠀

(Before and after) Impressions of our Double Bay residential project recently approved in the LEC. ⠀

Drawing inspiration from Art Deco and Spanish Mission architecture in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, the Bay Street façade of this building is modulated through a series of curves arranged in three bays, which relate to the scale of neighbouring terraces.⠀

Excited to be beginning construction on our Hastings project due for completion February 2021.
An extensive reconfiguration and refurbishment of an existing apartment building in Bondi with an extra storey, attic and garage added. Apartments are generous whole-floor residences with no common walls. The new brickwork matches the existing red-brick, typical of the inter-war period buildings in the street.
Developed with April Group in conjunction with Lindos Group and for sale through Raine and Horne Double Bay/Bondi Beach: www.1hastings.com.au

"The architectural and interiors approach of The Benson references the classical, with a known rhythm and repetition of openings and form. The sense of balance is personified from the streetscape through to the internal spaces, where a shared expression of honest and raw materiality is used throughout."

The white brick blades of Belgravia are accentuated by a backdrop of matt black metal balconies. Timber soffits bring another layer of textural softness and warmth to the project.

Flanked by side-facing apartment buildings that overlooked our site, the architectural expression of our Belgravia project was conceived as a response to this contextual challenge. Curving brick blades provided a striking, yet soft articulation to the architecture, playing with textural qualities of the brick - matt to gloss, solid to void. ⠀

As the SevenWays project nears completion we reflect on the contribution played by MHN Design Union in the transformation of this site from an run-down mechanic’s workshop to a revitalised and welcoming urban space, helping to realise Waverley Council’s idea of what a Village Centre can be.⠀
.⠀
The key concept in the early design of the project was a ground plane that was generous towards the public domain. MHNDU's proposal for Council to consider the closure of one road to create a public space seamlessly connected to the park, as well as providing a through site link and a laneway, has resulted in a more vibrant convergence of the seven streets in Bondi. These urban moves have been a catalyst in securing Waverley Council's vision for the SevenWays Village Centre.⠀

Swipe left to see the before and after of the streetscape!⠀
