Stack & Field is a considered forever home shaped by restraint, warmth and light. A small but generous extension to a 100 year old weatherboard home on a tight, narrow inner-city site, the interiors were developed in collaboration with architect Steffen Welsch.

The hallway marks the threshold between old and new, setting the tone for the home beyond. From the moment you enter, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming with a restrained palette of layered neutrals, natural textures and materials.

With careful consideration, the transition between the original home and the new extension feels effortless. Heritage details and contemporary elements are balanced with care, allowing both to coexist without competing for attention.

Depth is created through texture and tone rather than bold colour with finishes selected for their simplicity and durability. Across the day, light and shadow shift gently through the spaces, while the courtyards draw the outdoors in.

Despite its compact footprint, the home feels open, grounded and generous. A place designed for quiet living, gathering and a lifetime of memories.

“We engaged Amanda to help with our build, we had zero experience in renovating or interior design! We knew what we liked but really needed some help in pulling everything together. From the very first conversation, Amanda’s warmth and knowledge came across instantly.  Amanda made even the big decisions less daunting and her skill in extracting the thoughts in our brain and putting them on paper / via samples was extraordinary.

She helped us whittle down choices, made suggestions and created amazing visuals and drawings for us to see how everything worked together.

We are so proud of our beautiful house and my husband and I know it wouldn’t be the same without Amanda’s lovely, thoughtful design and assistance”.
