13 September 2026
Wategos Beach House, Byron Bay, NSW
Design: CG Design Studio

photograph : Anson Smart
The material palette reflects the character of this iconic stretch of Australian coastline. Sand-like veining within the travertine, soft plaster finishes and native hardwoods create a calm, tactile atmosphere that sits naturally within its coastal setting.

9 September 2026
Lumeah House, Macedon, Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country, Victoria
Architects: Pepper & Well – An Architecture & Interiors Studio

photo : Tom Ross
Mintaro Brown Back slate, laid in a loose crazy-paving pattern, introduces a new material with the weight, texture and permanence of the existing house. Each junction has been carefully considered so that the intervention feels embedded within the original architecture rather than applied to it.

3 September 2026
Yarra Valley House, Porcupine Ridge, Victoria
Architects: LiFE Architecture and Urban Design

photo : Elise Scott
Yarra Valley House is conceived as a contemporary rural dwelling shaped by the distinctive landscape of Victoria’s Yarra Valley. The residence offers a tranquil retreat immersed in the Australian bush, with its architecture responding sensitively to the site and its environmental conditions.

Casa Riviera, Maylands, Pert, WA
Design: X-space architects

Despite its limited footprint, the home delivers a sense of space and refinement more typically associated with luxury penthouses and boutique hotels, balancing urban density with a resort-like residential experience.

Architecture: CplusC

24 July 2026
Amari House, Toowoon Bay, Central Coast region, New South Wales
Architecture: Fabric Studio

photograph © Luke Shadbolt
Named Amari, meaning “the wind behind you”, the house embodies a sense of quiet momentum and purpose. This guiding concept informs a design that supports multiple generations through flexible planning, robust materiality, and a strong connection to its coastal setting, creating a home of lasting architectural and emotional significance.

20 May 2026
Ramsgate House, Bondi Beach, Sydney, New South Wales
Architect: Common Office

photo © Anson Smart
The villa responds sensitively to its site by carefully balancing domestic privacy with its highly public surroundings. The project embodies a complex and finely resolved planning strategy, shaped through multiple applications, revisions, and ongoing negotiations with the local council.

4 May 2026
Truro Residence, Perth, Western Australia
Design: Hillam Architects

photo : Joel Barbitta
Raw concrete surfaces extend seamlessly into the interiors, where carefully positioned lighting and feature windows foster a constant dialogue with the surrounding environment, drawing a palette directly from nature. The spaces are tailored to the client’s lifestyle, with intimate areas for entertaining, framed ocean views, and a pool zone afforded a sense of privacy by the enveloping form of the bedroom and gymnasium wings.

28 April 2026
Roberts Street Townhouses, Essendon, Victoria
Builder and Interiors: APC Build & APC Studio

picture : Elise Scott
Each residence is arranged across three levels, balancing openness with privacy. Ground-floor living areas extend seamlessly into landscaped gardens, pools, and alfresco spaces, establishing a strong indoor–outdoor connection. Upper levels house bedrooms with en suites and a shared retreat, while the basement accommodates recreational and service functions. Circulation is conceived as usable space, with generous proportions and a clear, intuitive flow throughout.

23 April 2026
The Treehouse, Northern Beaches, New South Wales
Architecture: 43 north architecture

picture © Simon Whitbread
The original home presented a series of structural and logistical challenges for the young family who purchased it. Elevated access, disjointed living zones, and a lack of cohesive spatial flow limited both daily usability and long-term potential. Seeking clarity, cohesion, and a stronger connection to the surrounding landscape, the clients engaged 43 North to reimagine what the site could truly offer.

28 March 2026
Strathalbyn Residence, Melbourne, Victoria
Architecture: DOOD Studio
The generously sized site allows for a wide range of amenities and services to be seamlessly integrated into the development, including a beautifully designed swimming pool and outdoor entertaining areas that encourage relaxation and social gathering. Every aspect has been carefully considered and refined, ensuring that Strathalbyn achieves a high standard of quality and comfort.

20 March 2026
Jackson Anglesea House, Anglesea, Victoria
Design: Eckersley Architects

photo : Tasha Tylee
The Jackson – Anglesea House near Anglesea Surf Beach is a thoughtful contemporary reinterpretation of mid-century coastal living, deeply rooted in the architectural language of 1950s–60s Australian beach houses. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Southern Ocean, the house embraces minimal modernism—not as a stylistic choice alone, but as a response to place, climate, and lifestyle.

12 March 2026
Baby Burt Residence, Perth, Western Australia
Design: Hillam Architects

photo : Dion Robeson
The Baby Burt Residence in Perth (specifically North Perth) is a custom-designed modern home that reflects the owners’ passions for style, food, water, and entertaining. The architecture blends raw materials, controlled privacy, and open spatial experiences to create a home that feels both contemporary and warmly connected to nature.

5 March 2026
Glen Rosa House, Collinsvale, Tasmania
Architects: Biotope Architecture + Interiors
Glen Rosa, set within the orchard landscape of Myrtle Creek Farm, feels less like a renovation and more like a continuation of a long, quiet story. What began as a modest 1914 cottage has been carefully carried forward, with each decision respecting the life already lived on the site rather than trying to redefine it.

13 February 2026
Scamander Passivhaus A, Tasmania
Architect: Spectura Studio

5 August 2024
Bronte Reframe House, Bronte, New South Wales
Architects: Still Space Architecture

photo © Brett Boardman
When the family of five first moved in, the house was dubbed the ‘playschool house’ due to its array of window shapes and heights, ‘none of which operated correctly,’ says Nina Still, director of Still Space Architecture. ‘While the owners cherished their coastal location, the house was uncomfortably hot in summer, cold in winter, and excessively noisy.’

13 June 2024
The Milldam, Port Sorell, Tasmania house
Architects: Starbox Architecture

photo : Anjie Blair
The Milldam house is designed around the concept of ‘Rugged Luxury’ to directly reflect the tidal estuary. When the tide is out, the raw and rugged landscape is exposed while it is the direct opposite when the tide is in; an expansive body of water fills the estuary to provide a beautiful, clean, reflective landscape.

Design: Chindarsi Architects

photo : Photographica
The site for this WA property sits on a spur of land jutting out into the Southern Ocean between Bremer Bay and Dillon Bay. Enjoying ocean views to the east, south and west, it is surrounded by beaches and wild places.

Design: Alexandra Buchanan Architecture

27 November 2023
MH House, Saint Peters, South Australia
Architects: Architects Ink

photo : Sam Noonan Photography
MH House consists of a pavilion-style addition and the refurbishment of a dilapidated Victorian bluestone villa. The clients wished for a simple open-plan design, yet intimate in scale, for a new family living space with plenty of natural light and a strong connection to the outdoors.

13 November 2023
M House, Clareville Beach, New South Wales
Design: Rama Architects

photo : Anson Smart
On the leafy shoreline of Clareville Beach, this new residential dwelling recedes behind a green canopy cascading from the rooftop down and growing up from below blurring the lines between outside and in. M House hints of Brazilian Modernism are seen in the concrete form with deep drawn-out eaves, voids and openness.

2 November 2023
Federal House, New South Wales

photo : Ben Hosking

Music Room House, Glebe, Sydney, New South Wales
Architects: Alexander Symes Architects

photo : Barton Taylor
After their previous architect terminated the project wishing to no longer work on single dwelling projects, the clients approached ASA with an approved DA and a desire to create a sustainable, healthy home that could meet their complex brief. The home is sited next to the “Sze Yup Temple” where burning of ink printed pray papers affects the local air quality at particular prevailing winds.

26 September 2023
Iron Chef Residence, Millswood, South Australia
Architects: Das Studio

photo : Anthony Basheer
When a steel fabricator, a chef and their artistically driven daughters speculate a forever home, it begins to resemble a warehouse conversion, with grand steel gestures and areas for creative incubation. But when heritage conservation constraints and two beautiful, but frightfully situated river red gums suggest a different home entirely, a true collaboration between client and Architect emerge.

Design: REFRESH*DESIGN

photo : Christopher Fredrick Jones
The Indooroopilly residence is a contemporary home located on an inner-city suburban block with prospect onto a golf course.

The Night Sky building stands on a long, narrow block overlooking Blackheath Golf Course. From the street, it has a quiet presence, in no hurry to reveal itself – there are no obvious clues that this is a house that is both raw and refined; that has strength and power but, at the same time, a delicacy that speaks of the human hand.
