Studiofour

studiofour is a Melbourne collective of architects and designers led by directors Annabelle Berryman and Sarah Henry, bringing more than thirty years of combined residential experience. The practice integrates four disciplines, strategy, architecture, interiors and landscape, to deliver holistic, site-immersive design.

Its architectural language extends inside to shape the interiors, whether for a mountain-top residence, a lakeside retreat or a beach house in the dunes. Each project is guided by the genius loci, the true spirit of its place, creating authentic and deeply responsive architecture that feels grounded and enduring.

On Lunchbox, Ridge Road Residence is a Mornington Peninsula beach house that follows its sloping site and frames a single tea tree, showcasing nature on a tight budget. Alfred Street Residence replans a compartmentalised Victorian home in Prahran and adds a second storey to create better connections to the outdoors.

Ridge Road Residence: A Beach House Where Nature is the Star

A single tea tree on the site of this beach house became the focus of the project. The aim became to showcase nature, rather than try to dominate and control it.

Alfred Street Residence: Clever Extension Creates Better Connection with Outdoors

A stronger connection to the exterior courtyards with concealed sliding doors, for access to light, fresh air and aspect.
