This striking house of contrasting black and white with touches of warming timber is exciting and dynamic in-spite of its compact size.

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?

Staff quarters never looked so good. This prefab house is a modern and comfortable place to wind down after a long day on the farm.

These two homes are built on a pier structure that highlights their unique creek-side location near the Mornington foreshore.

An internal renovation which opens up spaces and turns the house upside down to put living areas on the brighter, airier, upper floor.

House_B is essentially a C-shape, wrapping around a central courtyard to maximise light and breezes to the home. That gets an A+ from us.

An unorthodox, but clever, renovation creates a series of light-filled flexible living spaces and creates the illusion of space.
