Dan Gayfer Design on Lunchbox Architect
Dan Gayfer Design is a Melbourne design practice led by designer Dan Gayfer, with a studio in Northcote. Its Lunchbox projects are renovations of inner-city and bayside homes, each reworking tight or tired spaces around the way a household actually lives.
Brighton East Interior refines a Californian bungalow's kitchen, bathroom, ensuite, laundry and joinery for a busy family who preferred not to build up. High House adds a double-storey gabled extension to a Victorian terrace in North Fitzroy, bringing light and space to a cramped, dark home. Dark 'n' Stormy makes a Port Melbourne townhouse kitchen robust enough for three lively young boys, and St Kilda Apartment Renovation extends a first-floor apartment over a carport on the owners' title. Melrose Terrace shows a retired couple downsizing to North Melbourne without sacrificing function.
