For Adelaide-based Studio Gram founders Graham Charbonneau and Dave Bickmore, two friends who met while studying architecture at the University of South Australia, being architects who take immense care in designing memorable spaces has always been a top priority. But as hard-working as they are in their collaborative studio, they stay true to integrating fun in the process — whether that's in the vibrant energy their projects reflect or in maintaining that important work-life balance.

For this week's Small Studio Snapshot, Charbonneau and Bickmore share what they've learned so far in running their growing practice, as well as their hopes for the future.

The traditional façade resembles the type of cottage one might imagine nestled amongst a more rural landscape; or at least juxtaposed within an environment less urban than the twelve-foot wide alleyway it’s been built into.
