BARBARA YERONDAIS, FRAIA

A Statement of Integrity & Architectural Intent

As a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Architects (FRAIA) and an educator at Melbourne University, Barbara Yerondais has spent over three decades mastering the intersection of heritage preservation and sustainable living. Her practice, BY Projects Architecture, is founded on the belief that complexity requires a hand-drawn touch—balancing the technical rigor of council liaisons with the soul of bespoke design.

Legacy & Living: Selected Works

35+ YEARS OF PRACTICE • 59+ HERITAGE APPROVALS • FRAIA ACCREDITED

Navigating the tension between rigid Heritage constraints and the fluidity of modern living. Every project is a hand-drawn response to site, council, and soul.

The BY Projects Protocol

Design is the final resolution of a much deeper inquiry. We navigate the intricate overlap of heritage, council legislation, and site-specific constraints to unlock the latent potential of every project before the first line is drawn.
