House 1915 is a residence of significant historical and architectural value. In Stage One of this project, Studio Esar undertakes the delicate restoration and transformation of the home’s front portion. Guided by its heritage-listed status, the design honors the original character while introducing a layer of contemporary elegance.
The Merri Creek House reimagines a North Fitzroy weatherboard cottage by dissolving the typical backyard into a series of interconnected courtyard gardens. Consequently, each room enjoys a “green vista,” offering a continuous visual link to nature.
Maison Francilienne by HEMAA Architectes combines architectural eras on a sloping Paris suburb site, resulting in a harmonious blend of history and modernity. In this project, Maison Francilienne retains the noble original structure while integrating a thoughtful extension that respects topography and preserves heritage.
Tree Fort House by Larch Architecture began when a hailstorm damaged a 1940s Billings cottage beyond simple repair, turning a crisis into an opportunity. Consequently, the owners decided to transform their modest home into a forever sanctuary.
Two colors—the yellow of lemons and the blue of the sea—tell the story of a place that feels like it came out of a fairytale. Though it may recall the charm of the Sorrento coast or a Greek island, we are not there. We are in Naples, climbing the winding paths of Posillipo hill.
Austin Maynard Architects transformed a single-storey weatherboard cottage into a dynamic family home. By embedding solutions into the design language, they crafted a space that balances togetherness with private retreats—perfect for work-from-home parents and two teenage daughters.
When the owner acquired this three-storey Toronto house, its 1960s studio vibe felt outdated and cramped. Consequently, WILLIAMSCRAIG Design gutted the interior to craft a warm, adaptable home for a recently widowed parent and two pre-teen children. The result highlights family togetherness and private retreats, while forging a strong connection to the garden.
Finally, the interior structure uses composite columns and beams with bolted connections. As a result, we can disassemble and reuse them later. We minimized material types and repeated low-tech details to keep construction clear and adaptable. Therefore, anyone can understand and modify the building over time.
