Architects’ own homes are often a breeding ground for taking risks – a chance to do the things other client’s wouldn’t let slide. The Hawthorne Street House, designed by and for Sheppard and Rout director Tim Dagg, is full of these slightly surprising moments.

The building is a place to rub shoulders with fellow music students, and the artistic milieu of the wider campus and precinct.
