New Australian Homes

Key Residential Developments in Australia – Contemporary House Images

post updated 11 April 2022

Australian Homes

We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Australian Homes. We aim to include projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed properties, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Australia. The focus is on contemporary homes but information on traditional residential buildings is also welcome.

Australia Architecture Designs – chronological list

We have 4 pages of Australian house selections with links to many individual project pages.

Kangaroo Valley House
The house is made up of a family of containers, roofed and open to the sky. The geometry of the house is simply orthogonal forming quietly arranged spaces within a dramatic natural landscape. The simplicity of the spatial configurations and overall form belie the ability of the building to offer different living patterns that respond to
seasonal and diurnal changes.

Klein Bottle House
The Klein bottle is a descriptive model of a surface developed by topological mathematicians. Klein bottle, mobius strips, boy surfaces, unique surfaces that while they may be distorted remain topologically the same. In other words a donut will remain topologically a donut if you twist and distort it, it will only change topologically if it is cut. The surfaces that mathematicians have developed hold intrigue for architects as they hold a promise of new spatial relationships and configurations.
