CKA Studio CKA Studio is a Melbourne-based multidisciplinary practice working across architecture, interiors and planning. The team here at C.

Our practice operates from three spaces strategically located in Melbourne's inner north, east and out in the regional hub of Geelong. Our offices have been designed and refurbished by our firm. Our boutique practice offers a hands on approach, with director input throughout the entire design, documentation and delivery phases, assuring quality and performance remains high. Kairouz Architects performs all types of architecture & design to ensure quality and embrace an attitude of excellence. Our ideas are born from understanding what is most valuable to our clients, and our approach demonstrates our passion for not only the finished project, but for the creative process as a whole. Irrespective of the type or size of development, our philosophy at C. Kairouz Architects is to approach all situations with a clean slate to enable us to asses the best outcome for our clients. In doing so, we are able to tackle each challenge in a unique manner; dispel any assumptions or limitations; and allow for the best possible creation. The results confidently showcase that the fresh C. Kairouz Architectural aesthetic is stylistic in form, practical in function and quality through the finer detail.

Mary Street | Apartment, Richmond

A Paco Jaason freestanding bath set against reeded glazing. Light diffused, not directed.

Warm-toned limestone to floor and wall. Brushed nickel Novas tapware throughout - basin, shower, bath filler unified in a single finish. Timber veneer vanity floating against stone.

A bathroom that asks nothing of you except to slow down.

Mary Street | Apartment, Richmond

A kitchen as architectural object.

A veneer volume wraps the full wall - appliances flush, storage concealed, the joinery reading as a single built form rather than a collection of cabinets. The butler's pantry continues behind the same face, separating the working kitchen without interrupting the palette.

At the centre, a limestone island fabricated with carefully mitred joints and rounded edges presents as a monolithic form. Stone and veneer in quiet conversation.

Mary Street | Apartment, Richmond

A former commercial office floor, reimagined as a single residence above the rooftops of Richmond.

The entire Level 2 floor plate of an existing building was converted into a private apartment - a scale of living rare in inner Melbourne, delivered without compromise on material or craft.

Limestone runs from entry through living to every wet area. A veneer volume defines the kitchen wall, with appliances concealed behind a single unified form. The island sits as a monolithic stone mass at the centre of it all.

In the ensuite, a Paco Jaason freestanding bath is set against reeded glazing, diffusing light across warm stone and brushed nickel.

The journey through Vela House is choreographed. Compressed transitional zones through the heritage rooms draw you forward. Then release. The ceiling lifts. The volume opens. Full-height glazing frames the garden beyond.

Clerestory light shifts throughout the day, changing the colour of the plaster ceiling. Morning warmth. Midday clarity. Evening glow. The space is never quite the same twice.

The extension doesn't add rooms. It adds atmosphere.

The materials tell the story. Arabescato Rosso Orobico marble anchors the bar. Polar Ice honed marble flows across the kitchen. Polished plaster wraps the ceiling and walls, catching light as it moves through the room.

The palette is tightly edited: richness through restraint, not abundance. Stone, plaster, timber and light become the language of the space. The sail-like ceiling mediates them all, shaping how texture and shadow play across the surfaces throughout the day.

A home designed to be felt, not just seen.

Vela House | Preston

A sail-like ceiling sweeps across the interior, drawing light deep into the plan and shaping how every space feels. Compressed heritage rooms heighten the release into an open living volume where richness and restraint coexist.

Curved joinery, monolithic stone and seamless junctions establish a consistent language throughout. Full-height glazing connects seamlessly to a north-facing garden and pool, positioning the extension as the functional and social heart of the home.

A single sculptural gesture transforms the dwelling and anchors it to contemporary living.
