Living Areas

This Californian Bungalow renovation looks classic from the front, but step inside and it begins to reveal its contemporary secret...

An incredible home for a much-loved grandmother allows her to live independently (but close by). It's better than a retirement village!

A series of small additions left this home's living areas dark and detached from the garden, but Trace Studio have changed all that.

With a good architect, much of the stress of building can be alleviated. This home was renovated while the owners were overseas!

"There are too many beautiful old shacks being demolished, and Austin Maynard Architects won’t be part of it."

Apartment living for new parents is not very common in Australia. Can it be done, or is the siren call of the suburbs too strong?

Unlike many of the ubiquitous lean-to-style additions in the area, this modern lean-to transforms the original home.

A strikingly contemporary 'black-box' modular addition has popped up in this neighbourhood, adding to the eclectic mix of housing.

A new-found connection to the yard and pool, wine storage that's decorative yet practical and integrated seating throughout...

If you love '60s style, decor and art, you'll have to take a look at this swinging transformation on the Gold Coast.

Even after a reduction in total size, this renovation works better than the previous cluster of poorly considered renovations.

At just 36 square metres, this compact yet thoughtful addition creates space for cooking, eating, writing, sitting and more...

Want a new home for Christmas? With this beautiful modular prefab you could wake up in your finished home on Christmas morning...

Clad in COLORBOND® steel with a contemporary take on the traditional pitched roof, this prefab house looks right at home in the bush.

With the sun and a majestic tree in one direction and views of a distant nature reserve in the other, this home manages to have it all.
