Slotted into a hillside with not much wriggle room, one simple volume transforms this cosy Wellington family home.

From Brisbane to Baghdad and back, this house flips the dominant architectural narrative of light-breezy-buildings-for-hot-climates on its head.

In Melbourne’s inner-north, a family home reinvents itself, opening up not just its footprint, but many possible future permutations.

Familial understanding and sensitive interventions have opened up a small Melbourne home with subtlety and grace, celebrating a glorious yellow gum and restoring cherished heritage moments in the process.

What happens when we stop competing for expensive city real estate and start sharing it instead?

Downtrodden, broken and far from its share house glory days, clever fixes restore dignity to a classic Sydney terrace.

Opening up pockets from within, this Melbourne house is teased apart to allow a traditional Victorian double-fronter to breathe.

For over a century this house has looked inwards, isolated from its stunning surroundings and community.

A high-performing home packs a lot of program into a single-storey house for five, including flexible spaces for privacy and connection.

Years of decay are unpicked, and a contemporary family home is stitched back together with borrowed landscape and honest materials to create so much more than the sum of its parts.

A Melbourne renovation captures the character of stylish clients confident with colour, a purposeful brief and a love of their neighbourhood.

It takes clarity of mind to make way for garden and light. But often, space is best measured by the senses rather than the numbers.
