A Lorne ‘Treehouse’ Home Built By Family, For Family William Davey, co-founding director and designer at Keep Studio, created his Lorne home with two key factors in mind: his family’s present and future needs; and a fixed $450,000 construction budget to be managed by his dad, Tim Davey, a retired commercial builder.
The father and son duo worked together to design and build almost every element of the home, inspired by the work of modernist architects like Robin Boyd, Craig Ellwood and Richard Neutra. The resulting ‘treehouse’ prioritises the same honest expression of structure and materiality, and connections to nature.
