Innovative design transforms a challenging south-facing block into a bright, inviting home.

Richmond Hill House blends heritage charm with modern design, creating a timeless, sustainable home that adapts to family needs.

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

Each room of this addition steps down with the contours of the site, while the plan zigzags to access light and connect to the garden.

Despite strict heritage controls and a tight site, Durbach Block Jaggers Architects manage to deliver this charming and bright home.

By wrapping an extension against the boundary, Boundary House deals with awkward residual spaces and improves access to light.

Small but with delight, M House looks at how a modest renovation can make a positive contribution to the way a family live.

Parents' retreat, teen hideaway, granny flat or rental earner — the function of this self contained extension can change over time.
