Timber's warmth and laid-back nature meets clean lines and expanses of glass to create a style that is sophisticated yet relaxed.

In an effort to find more space for a growing and ageing family, Andrew Maynard Architects created a home that has shared space and more private zones.

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 detailed but classic palette, combined with expert attention to detail helps Paddington Terrace age gracefully as its family grows.

Even with close neighbours, carefully positioned skylights and double-height spaces make this home feel private, bright and spacious.

Built on top of an existing brick double garage, Stradwick House feels more spacious thanks to double height spaces and large windows.

New Zealand's notoriously changeable weather is dealt with at Norrish House by arranging rooms around a sheltering courtyard.

A new compact living pavilion defies its size thanks to plenty of glass and sliding doors — effortlessly connecting home and garden.

Tent House is designed to encourage freedom and protection from a hostile (but beautiful) landscape — like a permanent tent…
