Lia
A sophistacated acoustic pendant with an air of mystery.
Lia brings together a sophisticated design with high-quality lighting and superior acoustics to render any space more inviting and inspiring. PET felt fins surround a powerful light engine, resulting in a light and airy volume that transforms at every viewing angle with light peeking through, resulting in shadow and transparency effects. Lia is offered in three sizes - nominal 3', 4', and 5' diameters - and two nominal heights of 12" and 18", so it scales to fit in a variety of interiors and makes a statement on its own or clustered. Lumen outputs from 2,000lm to 17,000lm make the luminae suitable for a variety of applications, including high, open ceilings.

Verandah Place Townhouse
This historic carriage house on Verandah Place in Carroll Gardens, dating back to the late 1800s, had undergone several unsympathetic renovations over the years, leaving only the original facade intact.
Our clients, a young couple with three children, envisioned a home that felt both open and airy, yet still intimate. To bring this vision to life, we reimagined the layout to maximize natural light and carefully selected materials that foster warmth and harmony.
Soft white walls, oak wood flooring, doors, and cabinetry create a seamless, inviting flow throughout the home. A striking, modern stairwell serves as both a light well and a central architectural feature, providing visual continuity and a sculptural focal point in the space.

Visitors will be led on a course full of experiences that star t at the quayside and go to the upper platform 7.5 meters above quay- level. The route through the tower leads under an inclined sur face and up to the first viewing plateau that hovers above the water. From here, the visitor is led upwards by a broad staircase which serves a lookout to panoramic views of the harbour and bay. Finally, the covered upper plateau provides a 360 degree overlook of the city and the harbour.
