Havenwood / Atlas Architects

Miwa Negoro — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Havenwood House began with a family gift: a block of land in a quiet Brighton cul-de-sac. What followed tested the project at every turn—planning disputes, a drawn-out VCAT process, the collapse of the original builder, and ultimately a complete rethink of the design. From these challenges emerged a light-filled home that reconsiders the suburban backyard, placing nature, community, and long-term living at the forefront of everyday life.

Esplanade Brighton Apartment / Wood Marsh

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 03:00:00 +0000

Esplanade Brighton elevates medium-density coastal housing in Melbourne through thoughtful design and contextual sensitivity. Delivered in two stages, the project balances bold contemporary architecture with a deep respect for the site's unique Bayside location and surrounding urban fabric. The project replaces a vacant brownfield site with a collection of 24 townhouses and 11 apartments across 4 distinct buildings, nestled amongst an extensively planted native garden.

Bay Street Mixed-Use Building / Matyas Architects & Interiors

Hana Abdel — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 02:00:00 +0000

As both the residence of our Founding Director, John Matyas, and headquarters for our studio, 'Matyas Architects & Interiors, Bay Street mixed-use provides a living example of our studio's approach and John's 38 years of practice.

Spink Street is a speculative office development commissioned by Align Property Partners, located in the leafy bayside suburb of Brighton. Comprised of four storeys of office above a ground floor lobby and parking facilities, the triangular project site is nestled between Nepean Highway (east) and the Sandringham rail line (west).

Slate House / Austin Maynard Architects

Hana Abdel — Fri, 12 May 2023 01:00:00 +0000

Slate House is a new three-level, high-performing, high-end apartment building of 14 spacious homes, in the bayside suburb of Brighton in Melbourne.

Achieving an outstanding NatHERS rating of 8.2 stars, Slate House is Brighton’s first fossil-fuel-free multi-residential apartment building.

Light Scoop House / Molecule Studio

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 01:00:00 +0000

The Light Scoop House employs a courtyard house typology planning approach in response to its elongated site. A barcode plan of alternating rooms and landscaped courtyards expands the impression of space within a narrow plan, bringing natural light and garden views into every room. Formally, the house is composed of two double brick walls on the side boundaries, which capture the roof elements between. Three taller pavilion roofs (housing the habitable rooms) employ a consistent taper at each leading edge, creating an aperture to connect with the sky.

Brighton East 3 House / InForm

Hana Abdel — Sun, 26 Dec 2021 19:00:00 +0000

An abstract composition of contrasting textural elements, this design responds to a very inspiring client brief for a building that ‘should not look like a house’. By day it is an inhabitable sculpture that throws dynamic shadows through the interior, while at night the house becomes an ephemeral lantern, sitting mysteriously in an open landscaped garden.

Brighton College / OMA

Paula Pintos — Thu, 16 Jan 2020 06:00:00 +0000

The School of Science and Sports at Brighton College defies the conventional character of educational buildings – one of endless empty hallways and imposed silence – and instead combines the two departments to create a vibrant building with lively spaces where activities are not necessarily dictated by a school timetable. Observing that processes of learning take place outside as much as inside of the classroom, the design articulates a new idea of educational space bolstering interaction and exchange.

The Elms Boutique Apartments / Chan Architecture

Andreas Luco — Tue, 13 Aug 2019 19:00:00 +0000

The Elms is a boutique development of 5 apartments located on a quiet, tree-lined street in the bayside suburb of Brighton, Melbourne. The architecture of the Elms was inspired by the beautiful Elm trees which line both sides of the street providing an ever changing streetscape with colour and texture. The large leaves of the Elm trees are oval in shape with distinctive veins, both of which have been referred to in the façade patterning of the two large architectural elements on either side of the front entrance.

Resort House / Martin Friedrich Architects

Daniel Tapia — Sat, 18 May 2019 19:00:00 +0000

It has such a tranquil feel with the infinity edge pool and spa, palm trees and the sheer curtains swaying in the breeze making it feel like resort living every day. The client works for a travel company so wanted to create that holiday feeling in her own home. A strong projecting bluestone feature wall supports the cantilevering porte cochere at the entry of our new house.

Light Vault / Chamberlain Architects

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 21 Feb 2019 17:00:00 +0000

The brief for this project began with “we want a concrete bunker.” Equally as excited by concrete, there was mutual trust and connection between client and architect from the very early stages of the design process. Situated on an exposed corner site, privacy from the street was central to the brief. Given the desire for privacy and the client’s love of concrete, they were keen to reduce the number of windows, leaving the public facade as uninterrupted as possible.

H.I.V.E. X FIVE / Megowan Architectural

Rayen Sagredo — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 18:00:00 +0000

Located in the inner suburb of Brighton East, 11 km south-east from Melbourneâ€™s central business district, the H.I.V.E. (Hybridized Interlocking Vertical Environments) x Five is sited behind an existing facade on a tight 220m2 site with constraints on the north and south of boundary wall construction. This 5 unit development consists of a shop front, an architecture studio and four dwellings with car stackers to the rear. Conceived predominantly in section, this unusual approach allows for a diverse and unique set of high quality spaces that are all too often foreign to the apartment typology.

Unbricked House / Merrylees Architecture

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 20:00:00 +0000

The brief was to transform this brick Victorian home, situated on a main road, into a tranquil family residence capable of accommodating the lifestyle of the occupants for many years to come. The features of the original home were to be retained wherever possible, however the challenge was to introduce an abundance of natural light, and create a more livable environment that performed well thermally year round.

Quarry House / Finnis Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Thu, 23 Aug 2018 20:00:00 +0000

A modern bluestone clad family home on a corner site in Brighton, Australia. The Quarry house balances strong exterior form with seamlessly integrated interiors that promote shared spaces in the heart of the home and a connection with its context.

Brighton House / Martin Friedrich Architects

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 09 Apr 2018 17:00:00 +0000

A young couple with 3 children approached Martin Friedrich Architects after seeing our Brighton town house project. They loved the clean modern lines, look and feel of this project, however wanted a more playful and fun house. This was to reflect their personality, active lifestyle and love of entertaining.

Brighton Photography Centre / Nex—

Cristobal Rojas — Thu, 01 Feb 2018 06:00:00 +0000

Creating a publicly accessible campus vision, this project has transformed a dated office building into a vibrant new space for the University and the City.

Bungalow Court Brighton / Steve Domoney Architecture

Cristobal Rojas — Fri, 22 Jul 2016 19:00:00 +0000

Set in a quiet leafy cul-de-sac in the bay side suburb of Brighton, the first glimpse captured of our Bungalow Court project is of the kite-like roof canopy sailing aloft a solid upper level ‘hull’. It hovers seemingly unsupported, with only the presence of a narrow band of horizontal glazing beneath to suggest a connection to the solid form below.
