PROJECTS

A contemporary yet complementary addition to a 1950s house in New Farm is a tribute to the unsung history of brick in Brisbane’s residential architecture.

Core Collective Architects restored a colonial-era house in regional Tasmania, meticulously preserving Georgian details.

In one of the oldest structures in Tasmania, Partners Hill has created a mixed-use space, and a home, that honours the building’s varied historical program, while equipping it thoughtfully for 21st century life.

Tucked behind an existing heritage home on a tight block with a south-facing yard in Sydney, this generous addition offers light-filled, textured spaces with a natural, earthy palette.

Taking a restorative approach to the renovation of a sandstone cottage in Sydney’s inner-west, Benn and Penna has composed contemporary materials to pay homage to the quality of the original historic home.

Seizing an opportunity to build on an empty neighbouring block, the owners of a worker’s cottage in North Melbourne (with the help of NMBW Architecture Studio) have added a flexible secondary house that will allow them to age in place.

Through a forensic and addictive process of discovery, John Wardle Architects has painstakingly added to and restored this cliffside cottage on Bruny Island with “humble deference” to its history and the world-wanderer who called it home.

The restoration of a former fire station in Brisbane by Owen Architecture reimagines a unique typology as a comfortable family home, achieved with a design strategy that was “deliberately singular.”

Eoghan Lewis Architects turns a heritage sandstone cottage into a contemporary home and studio.

Zoë Geyer’s respectful renovation of a grand historic terrace includes some resolutely modern moments.
