01 Attic house

D –Madeleine Blanchfield Architects

The project thoughtfully and respectfully changes a Heritage Arts and Crafts house, allows the original qualities to be the heroes, while improving amenity and coherence throughout. Insertions are subtle but powerful. The language used is consistently light and uplifting, without demanding attention.

02 Blackwattle Bay townhouse

D –Sam Crawford Architects

P –Anson Smart

The well-designed set of spaces create a light-filled and spacious home. The material palette includes warm Blackbutt timber, brass and raw steel. These elements, coupled with green highlights in curtains, tiles and painted niches, work to connect the interior spaces with Blackwattle Bay and industrial vistas.

03 Bondi Junction

D –Alexander &CO.

P –Anson Smart

Home to a young family of six, this project explores the role of architecture as a form of education. The result of three alterations over seven years, it is successful in communicating ideas of the built environment and demonstrating material expression that is honest and surprising.

04 Brick and Gable house

D –Breathe Architecture

P –Ben Hosking, Tom Ross

Brick and Gable house is about building less to give more. It is both home and office, house and garden, private and urbane. It’s about an urban family changed by their experience of living in Copenhagen and deciding to live in a simple and sustainable way.

05 Camperdown warehouse

D –Archer Office

P –Kasia Werstak

This warehouse conversion delivers a flexible three-bedroom residence within the raw concrete shell of what was once a carriage assembly factory. Each of the rooms opens onto a double-height living volume that brings natural light and a sense of the outdoors deep into the interior.
