George2

Set on a narrow 16-metre-wide block in Mornington, George2 was a study in strategic design. With a long site and a restrictive easement eating into the buildable width, the goal was clear: maximise every square metre without compromising on flow, function, or feeling.

To unlock the block’s full potential, we negotiated extensively with council to build over the stormwater easement—an essential move that allowed us to reclaim the width we needed. Existing boundary conditions added another layer of complexity, with an old garage footing that couldn’t be removed. Instead of fighting it, we worked closely with our structural engineer to integrate it into the new boundary footing—a seamless solution to a stubborn constraint.

The elongated site drove a linear home layout, which we used to our advantage. We designed a spatial rhythm from front to back, punctuated by garden courtyards, light wells, and thoughtfully placed windows. Every window was positioned with purpose—framing foliage, inviting in dappled light, and creating a constant dialogue between interior and landscape.

Internally, every detail was resolved in-house. From material selection to joinery and furniture layouts, these homes were 100% interior designed by our team. The master suite, in particular, was imagined as a retreat—anchored by a hotel-style ensuite with luxurious finishes and a dramatic skylight above the shower. It’s one of those spaces that instantly changes the way you feel the moment you walk in.

George2 proves that a constrained site doesn’t have to mean a compromised result—just a more intentional one.
