Urban homes come with a lot of constraints. Tight sites, neighboring houses, heritage controls and planning regulations affect how urban homes are designed. Obviously constraints breed innovation because architecturally designed urban homes are some of the most innovative and interesting houses around.
At Lunchbox Architect we pride ourselves on sourcing the best examples of small urban homes. We argue that homes don't have to be huge to great. In fact, small urban homes are easier to maintain, cheaper to run and, when designed right, a joy to live in.
Block out the hustle and bustle by concentrating on these top-quality urban homes we've featured on Lunchbox Architect:
Carefully curated views help Neutral Bay House to feel brighter, connect to the garden and defy its tightly confined urban site.
Black Rock House successfully meshes elements of old and new to create a cohesive and comfortable family home.
A new compact living pavilion defies its size thanks to plenty of glass and sliding doors — effortlessly connecting home and garden.
Built on top of an existing brick double garage, Stradwick House feels more spacious thanks to double height spaces and large windows.
Even with close neighbours, carefully positioned skylights and double-height spaces make this home feel private, bright and spacious.
A detailed but classic palette, combined with expert attention to detail helps Paddington Terrace age gracefully as its family grows.
Too often homes dictate how we should live. Upside Down Back to Front House is different — a redesign suits how the owners really live.
A series of separate, disconnected rooms are transformed by a central, open planned living space that maximises north light.
