Architects Amy Hallett and Darren Kaye brought years of experience to bear on their compact but perfectly formed Albert Park home, which is rich in tactile detailing and sturdy as a hand-built ship.

Nest Architects has turned an impossibly cold, constraining “mongrel” of a cottage in Fitzroy North into a warm little home, rich in sunlight and full of sweet, adaptable spaces for a young family to interact with each other and their neighbourhood.

The beauty of buildings is that they shift and change, and over time new stories add to the fabric, layer by layer, iteration by iteration, gesture by gesture.

A family home fosters spatial and visual connections throughout, through a progressive program of internal and external rooms with
carefully conceived views.

A dark cottage is altered to create the illusion of infinite space and sunshine utilising generous openings and the immediacy of the landscape.

On a tight site in Melbourne's inner north, Make Architecture have reconfigured a tangle of rooms into three new spaces and in doing so created a garden sanctuary.

Adaptable, intuitive and interactive joinery has liberated space in this two-bedroom apartment in Manly, Sydney.

Architecture Architecture’s smart, restrained interventions in a light, spacious period home in Hawthorn have injected warmth, playfulness, garden connectivity and some ingenious bedroom joinery that just may save a relationship.

A respectful refresh of a local architect’s cleverly designed Beaumaris home has created a relaxed, Scandi-inspired holiday house vibe in Melbourne’s suburbs for interior designer Fiona Austin and her mid-century design loving family.

The ship-shape of this Albert Park house reminds one of a liner that has slipped its moorings. Occupying a triangular parcel of land of only 48-square metres, it is a wonderful example of what can be achieved on a site that would normally be dismissed for redevelopment.

This diminutive house turns its back on the hustle and bustle of Sydney’s inner west with voids, volumes, gardens and courtyards that offer an introspective sanctuary.

A small, two-story home in London’s East End gains a stunning roofscape and becomes the talk of the town.
