Eldridge Anderson Architects

Eldridge Anderson Architects is a Victorian architecture practice. Its Lunchbox project, Ballarat House, makes a strong case for working with an architect rather than buying off the plan.

Designed by director Jeremy for his parents, the house sits on a standard block in a new subdivision on Ballarat's western fringe. The couple, nearing the end of their working lives, wanted a comfortable home for themselves with room for adult children and friends to stay. Unlike off-the-plan options with limited customisation, the design suits both the block and its owners, drawing on passive solar design, thermal mass, double glazing and eaves.
