Melody Chen and James Hung's Brisbane-based practice has experience in residential, commercial and installation projects. Their collective memory of growing up in the 1980s in Taiwan feeds their inspiration, which has been influenced just as much by their move to Australia in the 1990s. Their Keperra House is one of the partners' favourites. The fast-growing practice now also has a second office in Melbourne.
