By Sonelo Architects
In our early conversations, the way our client described their home as a gathering place for their families and friends resonated with us. How these gatherings took many forms and how they will evolve become the question central to us. This desire to create a home that brings their relation together whilst also personal to them becomes the driving concept. “More space” is not the answer. We felt that their new home needs to be compact, intimate, yet open and flexible.
Burnley is a composed urban infill to a row of townhouses that has replaced the formerly dominant terrace houses in the area. Sheltered behind the hit-and-miss brickwork is a tranquil home with robust materiality, unexpected sky views, and access to plenty of greenery.

Sonelo is an architecture and interior design studio based in Melbourne founded by Wilson Tang and Elodie Lim.
We create simple, thoughtful, and beautiful spaces that adds quality to your everyday life.
Working collaboratively with our clients, we explore design in its multi-layered realms of the project brief, site, form, functionality, materiality, connection with the landscape, and community. With quality over quantity in mind, we explore and fulfil the latent potential of each project.
Seminal to our sensibility are the celebration of culture, diversity and landscape in all our work. Sonelo strives for authenticity, integrity and timelessness.
