Adam Kane Architects

Adam Kane Architects is a Melbourne-based architecture and interior design studio specialising in new homes and residential renovations. It is led by founder and director Adam Kane, who stays closely involved in each project. Having designed and lived in his own home, Adam understands the process from both sides, as designer and as client. In the studio's words, "We design homes that are calm, enduring, and carefully resolved — spaces that reveal themselves gradually and continue to reward over time."

Both of their projects on Lunchbox are in country Victoria. Trentham House replaces an unsympathetic lean-to on an 1890s weatherboard with a new living and alfresco pavilion that lets the low winter sun deep into the home. Blackwood Studio is a new studio and garage in the small town of Blackwood: separate buildings in matching materials, modern barns outside and a minimal studio and gallery space inside, gathered around a sheltered central courtyard.
