The Cloud House is an addition and renovation to a double-fronted Edwardian house in Fitzroy North. Over the course of close to a century, this house has received several additions and modifications.
McBride Charles Ryan’s work for the house is designed in three parts. This allows for a sequence of distinct and unexpected episodes, with glimpses previewing oncoming spaces and experiences as you move through the home.

Our clients purchased a wonderful property on Australia’s Sunshine Coast. The land was situated high up on a ridge with undulating rain forest, creeks and waterfalls. The property faced east with panoramic views out to the pacific ocean. We were enamored with the beauty of the property and wanted to design a house that not only complimented the natural landscape but would be come part of it and provide the owners with an intimate connection with their surrounding environment.
