Casa de Gatos translates to house of cats in Spanish.

A Mexican themed space for a travel loving couple with four fur babies; two dogs and two cats.

Located on a tiny double fronted block in North Fitzroy this tricky renovation to a DIY 70's modernist renovation of a Victorian worker’s cottage was a visual language fiesta.

This tight & right project lands in a radically conservative place – being both brutal & sympathetic to the existing, to carve out a contemporary work-horse of a home within the confines of a small footprint, while bringing joy and delight to a six-inhabitant party.

Pops of bright orange in the kitchen and aqua tiles with terracotta grout in the bathroom reinforce the spaces liveability and lovability.
