Designed for a young Melbourne family, Iris House was conceived as a forever home where beauty and functionality were considered together from the very beginning. The brief called for a home that would provide full wheelchair accessibility without ever compromising on warmth, materiality or refinement. Through thoughtful planning and a restrained palette of natural materials, the renovation creates spaces that feel calm, timeless and deeply personal, allowing every practical decision to quietly disappear into everyday life.

“The brief was never to design an accessible home. It was to design a beautiful home where accessibility quietly disappeared into everyday life.”
