Expertise across homes and development

Residential and development architecture

Akasne works across private homes, substantial renovations and residential development projects throughout Victoria. Each begins with a distinct site, brief and set of priorities. We identify the opportunity, establish a clear architectural idea and develop it with planning, construction and long-term use in mind.

A selection of projects across Concept Design, planning, documentation, construction and completed work.

Homes

Thoughtfully designed residences shaped around the people, places and ways of living they support.

60CRS - Silvan

Category: Extension / Renovation
Awaiting Building Permit

A large-scale extension and renovation on a rural Silvan property, expanding the existing home with a significant new footprint alongside an integrated pool and shed. A project of this scale calls for construction-informed design from the earliest stages, balancing a bold architectural addition with the practical realities of building on a large rural site.

49GSEM — East Melbourne

Category: Extension
In Construction

A two-stage heritage renovation and contemporary rear addition, preserving the character of an existing Victorian home while adding a rear garage with a first-floor entertainment level. Careful navigation of heritage overlays and planning constraints delivered flexible, light-filled living zones without compromising the original home's integrity.

4DPS — Sorrento

New Home · Sorrento, Victoria
Awaiting Building Permit

Tucked into a quiet, leafy Sorrento street, this new home balances bold form with quiet detail. Dark-toned cladding and warm timber soften a sculptural street presence, while an internal courtyard framed by a striking circular window draws light and garden views deep into the plan. Passive solar orientation, high-performing materials and future-proof planning were built in from concept stage, creating a home that's as liveable as it is architecturally distinct.

Albert Park House

Heritage Renovation · Albert Park, Victoria
Completed

Albert Park House reworks the interior of a compact Victorian residence for a growing family. Rather than relying on a substantial addition, the project focuses on improving how the existing footprint functions—reconfiguring key rooms, increasing storage and strengthening relationships between living spaces. The intervention respects the character of the original home while creating a brighter, more efficient and adaptable contemporary interior.

Residential Developments

Strategic residential projects balancing design quality, commercial outcomes and long-term value.

22KSHE — Hampton East

Category: Multi Residential Development · Hampton East, Victoria
Completed

A renewal of an ageing six-unit site into a higher-density community of fourteen dwellings, balancing architectural quality with feasibility. Smart massing and cost-effective construction strategies maximise yield without compromising comfort or character, while a cohesive material language unifies upgraded existing units with new dwellings — delivering a future-focused residential offering grounded in both lifestyle and investment performance.

7BAB Brighton

Category: Multi Residential Development · Brighton, Victoria
In Planning

A boutique collection of individually articulated townhouses united by a cohesive modern aesthetic, balancing privacy with community in the heart of Brighton. Open-plan layouts, private courtyards and a durable, understated material palette were tested for feasibility and buildability from the outset — ensuring the development delivers genuine day-to-day livability alongside strong investment performance.

810MHR Ringwood

Category: Mixed Use Development
In Planning

A prominent gateway site reimagined as a vibrant mixed-use precinct bringing together residential apartments, ground-floor retail, co-working space and extensive communal amenity. Gently articulated tower forms soften scale while framing views to the Dandenong Ranges, prioritising pedestrian activation and public transport connection — demonstrating that higher-density living can be genuinely people-focused.
