Let's Chat To... Adam Kane Architects

With a slew of stunning high profile projects under their belt, Adam Kane Architects is an architecture and interior design practice to keep an eye on. Based in Melbourne, the studio creates truly unique homes, unlike anything we've seen before.

Adam was kind enough to take a little time out of his busy week to chat about his work and practice.



We're not about playing favourites, but we're gonna do it. We're gonna go there. If we had our own ranking of Australian architects and designers, Adam Kane Architects would be right up there. Like basically at the top.


Each and every one of their projects has never failed to draw some kind of exclamation from us, or cause awe-induced paralysis. A.K.A know how to hit like a stun gun. The first project of theirs we full-on lusted over was the Bayside house (we've included a bunch of photos below - you'll understand what all the fuss is about). A combination of light and airy elements (hello sheer curtains that we love) with warm inviting timbers, the home blurred the line between art and a liveable residence...


...You know what, we'd go as far as to say that what Adam and his team create really is art. Clean lines, desaturated colour palettes, spaciousness, and exquisite materiality define many of the studio's projects. They also tend to be decked out in a sophisticated mix of custom-made and sourced furniture and decor. Given the studio specialises in both architecture and interior design, there's a harmony and clear link between the spaces they design and build, and the styling that goes on inside - like one was built for the other, and vice versa.


Anyway, enough fangirling and fanboying from us, we'll get a move on and progress over to our quick chat with Adam... and project photos. Lots and lots of photos! Enjoy Design-lovers.
