Moor House by Archier
Moor House joins two adjoining townhouses through a communal centre, allowing several generations to live as one household without erasing the boundaries that give each side privacy.
Borrowed Garden House by Topology Studio
On a tight Albert Park site, Borrowed Garden House uses recessed facades and framed views of neighbouring trees to extend a compact garden beyond its boundaries while preserving privacy.
Cascade House by Sonelo Architects
On a sloping suburban site in Coburg North, Cascade House by Sonelo Architects uses a stepped extension and layered thresholds to connect an existing brick dwelling with its garden.
Fitzroy North House by Pop Architecture
Pop Architecture turns a compromised, south-facing Victorian house into an urban home organised by landscape, using the garden to reshape entry and plan, and abstracting a yellow gum into the material and roof language.
Ayr House by Ha Architecture
In Melbourne’s inner north-west, Ayr House overcomes a south-facing backyard by placing a private courtyard between the original home and its new addition.
Frankston Mid Century Modern by MRTN Architects
For a mid-century house in Frankston South, MRTN Architects carries architectural character forward through retained brickwork, familiar details and a richer new material palette.
