Architect: Murray Barker

Ramsden is about staying connected. Rather than leaving the Clifton Hill community they love, our clients chose to downsize in a more considered way of living, building a new home in their own backyard. Accessed via the laneway, it’s a conscious shift toward a smaller footprint without sacrificing the life they’ve built around them.

Designed as a "forever" sanctuary, Ramsden is about independence and dignity. The floor plan is adaptable, featuring thoughtful allowances for future mobility and a lift, ensuring the home evolves with the people inside it.

The performance is where the comfort comes from.Targeting Passive House Classic certification, SIPs construction, BINQ UPVC windows, and a fully uncoupled slab, we’ve engineered a space that is silent, healthy, and efficient. All that high-performance tech serves one simple goal: creating a quiet, comfortable backdrop for Thursday night piano sessions and shared meals. It’s a home built to fit this next chapter of life perfectly.
