Jost Architects on Lunchbox Architect
Jost Architects is a Melbourne practice based in St Kilda, with eight projects on Lunchbox ranging from inner-bayside renovations to rural retreats and a beach house.
Über Shed on the Mornington Peninsula is a modern take on the farm shed, with a workbench area for farming equipment and a simple attached retreat, later followed by a second shed at Red Hill. In the city, Patterson Street Residence reinvigorates a Federation bungalow in Middle Park, St Kilda House revives a small cottage on death's door around a grassy courtyard, Black Rock House adds a two-storey extension behind a retained period front, and Malvern House keeps a heritage-graded inter-war semi's "serious face" while opening up at the back. Burrill Lake House renovates a classic fibro beach shack on the New South Wales South Coast.

Über Shed: Sure It's a Shed, But Not Your Average Shed
Über Shed is not *just* a shed. It's also a rural retreat that reinterprets the rustic charm of traditional agricultural sheds for modern living.
Modern Rear Extension Reinvigorates Patterson Street Residence
After a number of minor additions over the years, Patterson Street Residence is reinvigorated with a modern extension to the rear.
A Grassy Courtyard Fit for a Cow is the New Focus of St Kilda House
A grassy green courtyard fit for a cow (ok, not a real cow) at the centre of this renovated St Kilda House adds a bright new focus.
Black Rock House Uses Creative Thinking to Overcome Challenges
Black Rock House successfully meshes elements of old and new to create a cohesive and comfortable family home.
Malvern House is Serious Out the Front and a Party at the Back!
Jost Architects mediate heritage controls and an eager client brief to deliver a delightful update to an inter-war home.
This Classic Fibro Beach Shack is Updated for a Young Family
This home holds special memories for the architect, Pat Jost, making it important to retain the elements that fill it with character.
This Addition Overcomes the Challenges of a Tricky Tapering Block
Making the complex seem effortless in this addition on a tapering block was not easy, but the results are phenomenal.
