Yarra Bend House embodies a forward-thinking approach to “ageing in place” while celebrating warmth and community.

Indaiatuba House was originally a summer retreat. The owners, Sandra and José Luiz, planned to transform it into a full-time home for their retirement. With two children—a daughter (who already has a son) and a son (a teenager/young adult with a girlfriend)—the family needed more privacy and space.
Nestled in the inner-city suburb of Lake Wendouree, Ballarat Central House exists among a diverse mix of residential properties that range from 19th-century charm to modern designs. Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street, the home benefits from the vibrant energy of the nearby city centre and Lake Wendouree precinct—all while maintaining a sense of privacy and tranquility.
Roof repair is a vital aspect of maintaining a safe and comfortable home or commercial building. The roof serves as the primary barrier between the interior and the elements, so any damage or deterioration can lead to significant issues if left unaddressed. While DIY solutions may seem enticing for their cost-saving benefits, the complexities inherent in roof repairs necessitate professional intervention.
Easton Residence, designed by Stewart-Schafer, stays true to the essence of its mid-century modern roots while embracing contemporary refinement. Built in 1984, this expansive home spans 18 acres, offering a serene retreat overlooking a private pond.
The Meadows House blends contemporary design with the historic vernacular architecture of Litchfield County. Positioned on a sloping site, the home offers sweeping views of the rolling hills and is surrounded by native meadows that extend to the treeline. The structure references traditional barn forms but introduces modern elements through sharp lines and expansive windows.
Annie and Dylan, a hairstylist and a landscape designer, needed a flexible space for work and guests without sacrificing their backyard or disrupting the mature landscape. To achieve this, The Perch Bungalow Addition was designed as a 660-square-foot elevated structure, fitting just above the existing bungalow while staying within the City of Austin’s setback limits.
