Our client is an Australian photographer returning home after 20 years working in Shanghai – now with his Chinese wife and kids. From the frenzied international city to sleepy Perth suburbs, they requested an East-meets-West dream home.

The clients' business is photographing luxury hotels and fine food. They shared images of hotel foyers, luxury hotel suites and opulent swimming pools. With a limited build budget and a eye for perfection, we had a challenge on our hands. The brief was to incorporate classic Chinese spatial concepts under the harsh Australian sun. Our mission was to achieve harmony and balance.
