PROJECTS

With its emphasis on durability, natural materials and pops of colour, this addition to a 1910 weatherboard house in regional Victoria is a domestic retreat perfectly suited to the vicissitudes of everyday life.

Divided into four zones including a central deck, this Porter Architects designed house in Ballarat is simple in plan but offers open and breezy living for the architect and his young family.

Surrounded by off-the-plan project homes on a new estate, this house by Eldridge Anderson marries pared-back simplicity with the joy of detailing to deliver an outcome that is rational rather than boisterous.

Responding eloquently to its lightly forested, sloping site, this earth-toned house by Moloney Architects has been split into two, with a bathing and sleeping pavilion sitting above an open-plan living space.

Light and bright inside but with a darker, more dramatic exterior, this timber-clad extension to a late-nineteenth-century home blends contemporary design with a historical context.
