Madeleine Blanchfield Architects

Madeleine Blanchfield Architects is a Sydney practice, based in Paddington, specialising in architecture and interiors for bespoke private residences and multi-residential projects. Founded in 2009, the studio is guided by a singular focus: "creating homes that enrich everyday life".

Each project begins with a close reading of site, context and client, producing homes that are deeply personal and respond intuitively to how people live. Central to the practice is a commitment to sensory design, considering light, materiality and atmosphere to create refined, enduring homes that prioritise calm, connection and lived experience. The studio also designs furniture.

On Lunchbox, Bronte House turns a home upside down, moving the living areas upstairs for better light and breezes and the bedrooms downstairs to open onto garden views. Coogee House combines two 1920s Art Deco duplex apartments into one modern family home, opening up the rear to the garden and pool with a new pavilion.
