The Founder
A practice built on patience,
and an eye for what lasts.

Hunter Brooklyn began with a small idea — that the homes we build should outlive the trends that surround them.

After fifteen years across property, design and construction, our founder set out to make fewer projects, work with the same trusted hands, and choose materials that age well rather than show well.

Every Hunter Brooklyn home is a quiet conversation between site, architect and the people who will live in it. We are the custodians of that conversation — long after the keys are handed over.

Selected Project · 001 / 008
25 Glen Shian Crescent
A two-storey residence held to the contour of Ballar Creek.
Mt Eliza · VIC 3930
In Development
25 Glen Shian Crescent — front elevation
Plate 01 · Front elevation, dwelling 01

Set on a 29-metre frontage that drops away to a flowing creek, the dwelling is composed of two restrained masses — a charred-timber upper volume above a quiet, white-brick base.

The interior is organised around a central spine: an entry foyer that opens into a north-facing lounge, a dining room held to the deck, and a kitchen that turns its back to the street. Above, five bedrooms and a rumpus look out across native canopy.
