Melbourne-based design studio Matt Gibson Architecture + Design have completed the Shakin Stevens House project. The stunning contemporary property can be found in Melbourne, Australia.

Melbourne-based design studio Steve Domoney Architecture has designed the Power Street Residence. The single-storey contemporary home can be found in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
