Thanks to the home's unusual form, the garden of Reverse Shadow Casting House will always be sunny and bright.

Befitting a regionally based sculptor, Sawmill House is a hand crafted upgrade from his existing rather rustic bohemian abode.

The compact Highway House takes full advantage of its difficult, but dramatic site — sitting lightly over Hobart and the Derwent River…

At first, Lookout House looks like a whacky modern barn, but through the sliding barn door a wonderful courtyard house with spectacular views unfolds.

This welcoming house has a verandah so generous it blurs the line between a courtyard house and a traditional Australian verandah.

New architectural elements recede thanks to a subdued palette highlighting the original elements of this industrial building.

How to deal with a small block? Don't sacrifice the backyard, stack it on top of the house and you've got a sophisticated roof deck!

From the street this modern take on the other single storey cottage in the neighbourhood. But things get interesting quickly...

With sliding doors and a fold down bed, a rumpus room/third bedroom provides built in flexibility while reducing the overall footprint.

Renovation uses half of the original roof structure to create a new raked roof and wraps the original fibro shack in new cladding.

Built from recycled timber and rusting steel, this Mt Duneed home already looks old, yet is built to last with little maintenance.

Precast concrete and timber combine to create a low-maintenance home that will get better with age.

The architectural equivalent of a lamington made with Swiss cheese and dusted with paprika sounds like a recipe for disaster, but is it?

Blessed with a large block in a good area, this family decided to downsize in the backyard, in spite of the constraints.

Built in an area that sometimes encounters snow, this home in the hills has a small footprint, but large volumes make it feel spacious.

Inspired by the spaces and ornamentation of the original home, this home plays with light and space to create a dramatic addition.

This modern addition is more like a supporting actor, allowing the charm and beauty of the original home to shine through.

From the street, this looks like a house with no windows, but once inside you realise it's the exact opposite...

A strong visual and physical connection to the garden is achieved without significantly altering this inner-city terrace.

As soon as you enter the front door of this 1950s home, you are drawn to the light and openness of the new, rear addition.

Can a house be both a cosy refuge and open to the outdoors to create a breezy outdoor room? In this case, it can!

The clever design for this challenging site allows the home to deal with the threat of bushfire, while still taking in the views.

These retirees packed up their life in Western Victoria to move to Barwon Heads. What lifestyle would you want out of a seachange?

The neighbours are shifting uncomfortably in their seats as this new kid on the block shows them what modern living should look like...

A thin addition to this home creates new living spaces, but the bonus is a courtyard created by leaving space between existing and new.

Originally a parsonage for the neighbouring church, this historic home has been transformed with a contemporary addition.

This post-war brick house has been transformed into a stylish modern home with a thoughtful addition and creative reworking.
