Glebe Red House / Benn & Penna Architects
A carefully designed courtyard was fundamental to the Glebe Red House, combining a variety of landscape elements that deliberate a place of gathering.
Australian houses
Paddock House by Archterra Enjoys an Idyllic Rural Location
Paddock house sits exposed cross-slope, in a field of rye grass amongst grazing cattle and kangaroos with distant valley views to the north. The house connects to these views via a series of framed apertures in the volume of the house.
Barlow House in Brisbane / Alexandra Buchanan Architecture
Barlow house is an existing brick and tile infill house that is set amongst pre war timber and tin Queenslanders in the leafy suburb of Clayfield. The clients brief sought to reimagine the front facade and the house’s kerb appeal.
Townhouse Development on a Tight Site in Melbourne
Typical townhouse developments often have poorly planned layouts, uncoordinated and unnecessarily complex building forms, and eclectic material palettes.
Grant House in North Fitzroy, Melbourne / Austin Maynard Architects
Grant House is the alteration and addition to a dark and narrow single-storey terrace in North Fitzroy, Melbourne. The old part of the house has been respectfully maintained and a new extension has been sleeved between original boundary walls.
Rammed Earth Extension to a Californian Bungalow
This design for a rammed earth extension to a Californian Bungalow goes back to personal key experiences of places. However, I was less interested in a building itself but the interaction it generated and asked why. That was our starting point.
Minimalist Modern House Designed to Expose the Beauty of Raw Concrete
Salmon House is a minimalist modern house designed by FGR Architecture for a young family. Structurally, 80 per cent of the new home is concrete and glazing softened by timber cabinetry and greenery, much of which will mature over time.
Suntrap House / Anderson Architecture
A home’s liveability begins and ends with its orientation. For this heritage home in the inner western suburb of Lewisham, south-facing living quarters meant the family spent most of their time in cold, dimly lit rooms. Not much fun.
