Located in the lively community of West Footscray, the West Footscray House by Design by AD blends historic charm with modern style. This renovated family home respects its past while looking forward. As a result, it creates a comfortable space that easily adapts to meet family needs.
Jimmy’s House by MJA Studio flips the script on conventional infill housing. Situated on a battleaxe block, this 140 m² home transforms expectations: the laneway becomes the front door, the street its backyard, and gardens exceed the site’s footprint. Moreover, it complies fully with R‑codes while generous to neighbors and open to the adjacent park.
Mary Street House by Studio Roam responds to today’s family needs while anticipating tomorrow’s change. Designed for two architects and their children, this slender 4 × 2 home embeds a lifelong masterplan: it will become two mirrored terraces on a single site. Here, thoughtful form, material innovation, and future‑proof planning come together in a warm, adaptable residence.
24′ x 24′ Studio by Wheeler Kearns Architects transforms a simple accessory building into the heart of a Michigan retreat. Initially conceived to replace an old horse stable barn without foundations, this compact studio now anchors the property—connecting the main house, pool, and gardens with a fresh architectural gesture.
Sydney Harbour Apartment by Brooke Aitken Design transforms an aging two‑level flat into a vibrant art‑filled home that frames Sydney’s most famous landmarks—the Opera House and Harbour Bridge—while standing on its own as a work of art. Moreover, every room now celebrates colour, material, and form, creating an interior that dialogues with the view rather than depending on it.
Trudo Vertical Forest by Stefano Boeri Architetti applies the Vertical Forest model to social housing, turning a 19‑storey tower in Eindhoven into a living ecosystem that combines affordability with biodiversity. Moreover, this project proves that green architecture can be inclusive rather than exclusive.
Malapai Tower House rises like a beacon in the heart of the world’s largest contiguous Ponderosa pine forest. Accessible only by a winding dirt road, this three‑story rusted‑steel residence perches atop a gentle volcanic clearing more than a mile above sea level.
Valladolid House by ÁBATON sits gracefully on a sloped site in Spain, where every decision responds to terrain and views. Facing south‑southwest, the design preserves existing oaks and frames the grove beyond, while shielding interiors from neighboring sightlines. Here, simplicity of form and richness of natural light combine to create a home both intimate and expansive.
