Architecture</a>&nbsp;has impressively produced two of the most recognized residential projects to come out of Australia in the past few years. Working in heritage dense areas, particularly tricky renovations with tight constraints and tight budgets &mdash;such as their <a href="https://archinect.com/OFFArch/project/hello-house" target="_blank">Hello House</a>, a renovated two-bedroom Victorian-era home, and their <a href="https://archinect.com/firms/project/150085038/acute-house/150085040" target="_blank">Acute House</a>, a renovation of an extremely decrepit, weatherboard cottage&mdash;are typical projects for the Melbourne-based studio.</p> <p>Outside of the office, founder Fooi-Ling Khoo also serves on the board of directors at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.architeam.net.au/" target="_blank">ArchiTeam</a>,&nbsp;a cooperative organization&nbsp;for Australian architects working in small, medium and emerging practices.
