photo © Penny Clay

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: TPG Architects

photo : TPG Architects

Native Dog Cabin, Bremer Bay, Western Australia
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.

Marcus Beach House, Shire of Noosa, Queensland
Design: Alexandra Buchanan Architecture

photo : Cathy Schusler

Australian Houses Designs 2023

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
Design: Edition Office

photo : Ben Hosking

24 October 2023
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.

Dulwich Hill Duo, New South Wales House
Design and Project Architect: Blake Letnic Architects

photo : Katherine Lu
Dulwich Hill Duo is a new semi-detached dual occupancy located in Sydney’s Inner-West that maximises efficiency of space and elevates everyday living within a small footprint. With housing affordability becoming an increasingly prevalent issue, the project offered an opportunity to not only provide a cost-effective outcome for our clients but contribute to improving housing density and diversity within the suburban fringes.

Tietz House, Blackheath, New South Wales
Architects: Design King Company

photo : Luke Butterly Photography
The second stage of our Blackheath project is now largely complete. After the completion of the Studio some time ago, this remaking of the existing house makes sense of the site and context and the relationship between the two buildings.

15 September 2023
Indooroopilly Residence, Queensland
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 architecture draws cues from modernist principles of heaviness and lightness with solid volumes that appear to float, creating an open and dynamic ground floor plane for living.

6 September 2023
Highlands House, Southern Highlands, New South Wales
Architects: Luke Moloney Architecture

photo : Tom Ferguson Photography
The Highlands House in the Southern Highlands was designed to sit discretely in the landscape. Its materials will grey off over time and take on the colours of its bushland setting.

Buderim House, Sunshine Coast, Queensland Home
Design: Alexandra Buchanan Architecture

photo : Toby Scott
Sitting on the edge of an escarpment the Buderim House is afforded majestic views North-East over the Sunshine Coast. Both, private and expansive, this dwelling was imagined as a sanctuary, for a couple with transient adult children, between a sprawling landscape to the north and a populated residential street to the south.

27 Apr 2023
Mermaid Quay House, Noosa, Sunshine Coast, southern Queensland
Design: Type Architecture

photo : Mitchell Kemp
The lines between private and public are clearly divided between the ground and upper floor. The ground floor features an expansive living, dining and kitchen area for friends and family to lounge and enjoy the river view.

Night Sky House, Blue Mountains, New South Wales
Architects: Peter Stutchbury Architecture

photo : Brett Boardman Studio
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.
