Video also by the talented team @realestateaus . . #renovationproject #violinshop #shopfront #sanctuary #tsaidesign #melbournearchitects
25.01.2022 We are excited to be back (officially) next week :) looking forward to this project in the new year. An interior renovation of a 3 storey house in Parnell, New Zealand. The upper 2 storey was flipped to have the new living space on the top floor to take advantage of the view. The anticipation as one moves up the entry hallway/staircase leads to the heart of the house, the kitchen, with a large cafe style bar seating for casual catchups, up a few more steps the top most floor is the open planned living space that takes in the view of Hobson Bay and beyond. . . . #2020 #interiorarchitecture #interiordesign #kitchendesign #parnell #japaneseliving #openplanliving #tsaidesign

25.01.2022 Atop a shop. Before / After. Looking back at the house before the renovation, we hope the client love the change we bought to the place, including the abundance of light. Last 2 photo is almost unrecognizable, the new open dining space was previously the bedroom, the only hint is the window of the bedroom that we retained, and converted to the new door to access the rooftop deck. Beautifully build and realised by @sustainablehomesmelbourne photography by @tesskellyphotography... . . #houserenovation #beforeandafter #transformation #interiordesign #tsaidesign #melbournearchitect @ Collingwood, Victoria, Australia See more
25.01.2022 Drop leaf table detail / The side of the round table moves subtly from a straight edge, at the connection to the 2 drop leafs, to a tapering edge, accentuate by the banding texture of the plywood edge. Made by a combination of CNC routing and traditional handcraft. Thanks to @unitedmake and @finnesbuildinggroup @tesskellyphotography ... For now the table is a one off, but if theres enough interest may look at a limited production. Please get in touch to register your interest :) . . #diningtable #roundtable #timberfurniture #flexiblefurniture #foldingtable #tsaidesign #wooddetails #plywoodfurniture #plywood
22.01.2022 Drop leaf table / A boutique table for 2, that can be expanded to cater up to 6 people. From our exploration into small space living, we find a common desire for occupants of small living to be able to host larger gatherings for friends and families. The aim of the proposal gives people the freedom and flexibility to entertain, and not be defined by the size of their apartment. The table received commendation for Architeam awards unbuilt category last year. ...

22.01.2022 Atop a Shop design concept renders. There are minor adjustments and differences from the initial design renders to the final outcome. @sustainablehomesmelbourne did an amazing job with executing the construction and realising the design. Also a shout out to @camilo_manchola_ from @enko_3d for the renderings . . #atopashop #victorianshopfront #melbournerenovations #interiordesign #home #terracehouse @ Collingwood, Victoria, Australia

18.01.2022 Not all design makes it, behind every design that gets approved, there’s usually a few casualties. We love them all so here’s a chance to show one example that didn’t make the cut , we are really excited about the one that did make it though, hope to show that off soon! This is a project consolidating 2 tiny apartments into one 2 storey terrace home. A rough exposed brick ground floor contrast a polish blue ceiling and rooms above. #designconcept #didntmakethecut

17.01.2022 Type St apartment feature as one of 15 home office inspo :)
17.01.2022 [Upside down house] (working title) Into the last month of construction, can’t wait to see it completed. The existing split level creates an interesting opportunity for a kitchen that’s both connected and independent to the open plan living space adjacent. . . #kitchendesign #nzinterior #wip
16.01.2022 This was shot awhile back with @anthonyrichardson_ from @thedesignemotive. tsai Design has grown a bit more since then, but Type St Apartment is still a great home office when needed a quiet space, and obviously useful right now. . . #homeoffice #windowseat #sketching #typestapartment #apartmentliving #apartmentrenovation #stayhome
16.01.2022 SAVE THE RIVER PAVILION, Fairfield Park. We have just signed this petition organised by @kennedy_nolan via change.org to save this River Pavilion by Carter Couch architects, nominated to the Victorian Heritage Register, it has now been granted approval for demolition by the city of Yarra. Please follow bio link for more detail info, and also head over to Kennedy Nolans feed for more info. This pavilion doesnt belong in the skip! buildings should not be disposable. There are other options. Camera by @tomross.xyz #theriverpavilionfairfield #changeorg
16.01.2022 [Drop leaf table] we are so proud to be amongst the winners of the Red Dot Awards. Had no expectation a table we designed for our apartment project took on a life of its own, with the opening up of Victoria, we are keen to look for collaborators to bring this design to life. Love the Red dot yearbook by the way #flexiblefurniture #coffeetable #diningtable #reddotaward #tsaidesign

11.01.2022 [Small Grand Apartment] The dining space in a small apartment is usually a flexible space where you do everything; it needs to be a dining table, a study and reading nook, a space to entertain guest, sometimes for party of 10. We designed this table specifically for this project, during 350 days of the year it is in its compact setting, perfect for 1 or 2, the leaf of the table can then fold up to form a much larger table to entertain the clients friends and families. Paired ...up with the integrated seating thats flows on to become the TV credenza, a perfect reading nook. Table built by @finnesbuildinggroup , building by @qspacesmelbourne , captured by @tesskellyphotography Thanks team!

09.01.2022 This internal lightwell is the feature of the terrace house, flooding the interior with light during the day, with feature pendant during the night, overtime we hope it will becomes filled with flowers and walls with climbing greens!

07.01.2022 [Small Grand Apartment] This spectacular foyer is the offical entry for the apartment.

02.01.2022 [Small Grand Apartment] We converted the existing kitchen, and also the darkest corner of the apartment into a luxurious walk in robe, with a full height mirror that is actually a secret queen size murphy bed (client loves the idea of flexible furnitures). We had make sure the wardrobe can work with the bed in either up or down configuration, for those lazy days when you just dont want to do a thing. A new timber vaulted ceiling embracing the existing arch of the doorway to ...provide a cozy timber nook.

01.01.2022 [Small Grand Apartment] we have created a secret door into the discreet bathroom. The kitchenette benchtop continues through the doorway to form the vanity top and beyond, totalling 8m of bench space to create a surprising sense of spaciousness in the modest size apartment. We also inserted a cat food drawer for the second owner. Thank you to @hoimannnn and Piru for modelling for the photo!...
