PROJECTS

Cleverly navigating the constraints of a tightly hemmed Sydney site, this flexible laneway studio demonstrates the versatility and appeal of small-scale living.

A 1950s bungalow is thoughtfully replanned with a utilitarian yet welcoming design that follows the philosophy of “less but better.”

A subtropical bungalow is transformed by Those Architects into a light, bright and unfussy home befitting a beachside lifestyle.

With views to Mount Huon, this home in rural New South Wales achieves much with its simple form, offering a space for all seasons and a “free plan” where occupants can decide how and when rooms are used.

Stories dating back more than a century infuse this addition to the first university college for women in Australia.

Designed by Akin Atelier, Bert’s Bar and Brasserie in Sydney’s Northern Beaches is reminscent of the grand hotel dining rooms of the 1930s.

Fusing concepts inherent in furniture design and architecture, this conversion of a former motor vehicle factory in Sydney serves as a prototype for a novel approach to adaptive re-use.

Challenging the ubiquity of open-plan living, a series of flexible rooms has been added to this historic inner-city warehouse, forming the latest “chapter” in the building’s narrative.

This recycled red-brick addition to a 1920s cottage in Sydney’s Cammeray by Studio Prineas favours quality over extra space, making the most of its modest footprint by drawing in northern light and opening out to the garden.

A garden pavilion designed by Christopher Polly Architect provides a striking counterpoint to a 1960s brick bungalow, subverting the physical and conceptual limitations of an “unapologetically suburban” setting.
