State of Kin

An architecture, interior and construction firm creating expressive projects that push boundaries.

The entry is the first moment a home reveals itself, and the place where it decides what to hold back.

Across our projects, the threshold mediates between street and interior, public and private, bright daylight and the calm within. It takes many forms: a deep curved canopy beneath a screen of breeze block, an arched steel door set into soft render, a pivot door framed in steel within olive-toned walls, perforated ochre-red screens filtering light and view, and pale brick stepping back from the street.

Rosewood’s outdoor spaces are shaped by curve, enclosure and the changing light of the day.

Pale, smoked brick is laid in sweeping forms that define each space on the rooftop, from the bar to the lounge, with planting spilling over every edge. At ground level, a sculpted concrete canopy on slender columns shelters outdoor dining beside the lawn. From the laneway, the same brick and planted edge give the house a restrained public face.

“It appears as a single storey from the street, but the entrance is like a big vault.” Ara Salomone

At Proclamation House, the threshold is a moment of compression and release. The pitched roof lifts into a double-height volume, and light descends from its apex to soften the olive-toned walls with shifting tone and shadow.

"The singular use of olive-toned render unifies the exterior and interior, creating a feeling of immersion."⁠
Developed for Proclamation House through a long process of experiment and testing, the h**p render took the place of the concrete first imagined for the project. It saturates walls, ceilings and select floors alike, softening the distinction between landscape, facade and room. Alessandra French, as told to .⁠

Studio Notes. Distinctive yet enduring. Expressive yet deeply personal.
Ara and Alessandra reflect on the thinking behind the practice. Each project carries its own narrative, shaped by site, context and the people it serves, with materiality, spatial planning, lighting and joinery resolved alongside the architecture rather than after it.

Onda, in Attadale, balances movement and stillness, a dialogue between sculptural form and purposeful function.

Adaptability in the plan, conviction in the palette.⁠
⁠
At 150, the planning is deliberately open to change, supporting evolving modes of work and the tenancies that may follow. The material response is anything but neutral: honeyed timber lining the walls, brushed stainless steel at the junctions, and colour in dusty plum and eucalyptus green, held deep against a constrained internal environment. For a client deeply engaged with art and design, professionalism and personality are resolved as one.⁠

At Rosewood, the original front rooms retain their proportion, ornament and sense of repose.⁠
⁠
Here, materiality establishes atmosphere: the woven texture of ochre grasscloth, the weight of full-height drapery, the richly figured marble of the fireplace surround. Colour is held deep and close, in oxblood and olive, so the room reads as a place of retreat within the wider home. Overhead, three sculpted shells unfurl from a stepped and fluted plaster medallion, completing the composition.⁠
