Behind a 1912 Edwardian home in Northcote, this compact laneway dwelling by Ben Callery Architects offers a thoughtful response to the urgent challenges of contemporary housing.

Set among Bellarine Yellow Gums and myoporum scrub, the home is composed of modest pavilions, designed as a place to age in place and live closely with the landscape.

Inspired by the utilitarian farm buildings that dot the local landscape, three shed-like pavilions create a calming family retreat.

This beach house, inspired by a hut, is protective yet open, simple yet refined.

Designed with a philosophy of ‘build less, give more’, these apartments are right-sized, high-performing and people-focused.

Designed by Architecture architecture, the renovation seamlessly blends home, park, and private garden.

Wiesebrock Architecture drew inspiration from iconic Australian architects such as Glenn Murcutt and Peter Stutchbury, crafting a home that celebrates space, structure, and material.

McMahon and Nerlich were engaged to reimagine this small worker’s cottage, transforming it into a modern city retreat that connects with its surroundings.
