This Camberwell interwar home in the leafy eastern suburbs of Melbourne is typical of its type, with a number of renovations the family have carried out over the last 40 years of occupation. Extensions were created as the family needed. Usually on a tight budget, with little co ordination, and no professional design assistance. The condition of some of the extensions was poor and in major need of maintenance or replacement. Floors were uneven, windows rotting, and the condition of the lean-to roof was questionable. The clients were a recently retired couple who wanted to do just one more renovation, co-ordinate all the bits and pieces and update their home into a contemporary living area, including some special spaces to show off their antique furniture.

It’s all about the views. Creating new and framing the existing. Encompassing open plan living which focuses every activity to its own view. Delineating the re-organised spaces with a co-ordinated approach to the ceiling and lighting. New lightened timber floors also co-ordinated the space, and almost white and minimalist detailing to the kitchen enhances the sense of spaciousness.

At BY Projects Architecture, we embrace a quality design approach with client collaboration throughout the design and construction process. From site selection, feasibility studies, urban design and master planning, through all design, interior design and documentation stages for private and public sector developments, we offer total project management services, endeavouring to fully realise the client’s vision.

We are highly skilled architects with a diverse and extensive range of project experience. We have a strong focus on sustainability, accessibility and affordability and a commitment to utilising innovative construction technologies with practical deployment.

We are able to provide expertise for a vast selection of service including creative conceptual designs, feasibility studies, community consultation, and master planning. In essence, BY Projects Architecture is a design-based practice which offers innovative solutions to architectural environments. An architectural design is more than a drawing or a budget. The design of any construction must reflect the client’s aspirations as well as the community it will join. We believe in a collaborative approach to all projects and are committed to every aspect of our design, following a project with close architect consultancy and project management throughout each stage.

The project team is led by Barbara Yerondais, who strongly believes in a collaborative approach to all projects and has nearly 30 years of professional experience.
