Project cost
$3m - $5m

Set amongst other large-scaled homes in Armadale, in Melbourne’s south-east, Union Street Residence retains its original heritage form and expands to the rear and side to inject added volume and amenity. While the mass of the addition sits neatly behind the original, extruded in silhouette as the form grows deeper into the site, a lighter glazed and timber-wrapped form sits as a counter to the side. As its own statement and reflection of time, the addition sits as its own entity, not replicating the original stylings and instead capturing a contemporary spirit. As a family home, key to the addition was the creation of an open flexibility. Allowing a free-flowing movement internally, both between the old and new and between inside and out, NTF Architecture extends the crafted nature of the original into the addition.

About the
Professional

A common response to our work is an appreciation of the light and space we create, but our designs are also conceived for a world where the sun shines, rains fall, winds blow, and temperatures vary – it’s this thinking that makes our buildings liveable, and lasting.

We are a Melbourne-based practice specialising in intelligent and sustainable design solutions. Our experienced team of architects and interior designers deliver individualised and often unique outcomes specific to each site and context.

Over the years we have developed an extensive portfolio of residential, multi-residential, commercial and interior projects, many of which have gained industry awards and recognition.

Centrally located in Cremorne in inner Melbourne, we deliver projects of varying scales and typologies, with a consistent focus on high-quality, design-focused outcomes that are bespoke and timeless by their nature.

The practice was founded in 2006 by Brett Nixon and George Fortey, who had previously learned their craft with some of Australia’s leading architectural firms, working on a wide range of residential, multi-residential, commercial and interior projects across the country.

We have now delivered well over $500 million worth of projects in many parts of Melbourne and throughout regional Victoria, including Boroondara, Stonnington, the City of Yarra, Bayside, Port Phillip, the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas, Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Alpine Shire.
