Kross House / FIGR Architecture & Design

Miwa Negoro — Fri, 09 May 2025 03:00:00 +0000

This single-storey residence offers a contemporary reimagining of pavilion-style living, sensitively integrated within its sloping coastal site. Anchored by natural rock formations and supported by a prominent V-shaped steel column, the house appears to float above the landscape. Divided into a series of distinct pavilions, the design provides separate living spaces and dedicated guest wings, balancing privacy and flexibility within a cohesive architectural form.

A Sanctuary of Light, Air, and Connection – The Hug House is a carefully crafted composition of spatial layering, material richness, and seamless indoor-outdoor integration. Designed to embrace its natural surroundings, the home is anchored by a central courtyard —a green heart that fosters privacy while allowing the architecture to breathe.

Like many dwellings from this period, the home has been a building site more than once during the course of its existence.

Hot Top Peak House / FIGR Architecture & Design

Hana Abdel — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 01:00:00 +0000

Situated in the bustling suburb of Richmond in Melbourne, amidst the constant movement of delivery trucks, bicycles, and never-ending vehicle traffic, a notable architectural project emerges. Occupying a modest 175m2 site with dual street frontages, this residence is an experiment in the possibilities of urban densification. Here, within the confines of this minute space, a home is carefully crafted, reflecting the vibrance and richness of its surroundings.

That Old Chestnut House / FIGR Architecture & Design

Hana Abdel — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 03:00:00 +0000

As our cities incrementally and inevitably densify, we look to occupy the tiny nooks and crannies for a place we can call home. Located amongst the hubbub of delivery trucks, bicycles, and a never-ending procession of vehicle traffic; this project sits within a minute 160m2 site, backing onto a key commercial precinct within Cremorne in Melbourne. Despite the site's context, our client loved the sheer richness and vibrance of the area so much that they set out to make this place a long-term place of residence.

Ha Ha Haus / FIGR Architecture & Design

Hana Abdel — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 01:00:00 +0000

Embedded into the landscape, ‘Ha Ha Haus’ is located in a leafy pocket of Alphington (Wurundjeri Country) where front fences are a refreshingly rare sighting.

POP-UP House / FIGR Architecture & Design

Hana Abdel — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 01:00:00 +0000

Pop-up House attempts to counter the status quo of a new family home in a predominantly heritage setting. A common approach with new homes is to occupy majority of the site whilst retaining minimal front setback with a fortified sheer built form that shuts itself off from the public realm interface.

Silhoutte Hytte House / FIGR Architecture & Design

Paula Pintos — Fri, 24 Jan 2020 19:00:00 +0000

Nestled in the quiet streets of Elwood, Victoria Australia, ‘Silhouette Hytte’ House is located on a narrow 210m2 block. The site is 34.4m long by 6.1m wide and has an East facing backyard. Presented with a number of challenging constraints such as a heritage overlay, flood overlay and close proximity of neighboring trees, the project required a carefully considered design response to achieve the clients ambitious brief.

Light Corridor House / FIGR Architecture & Design

Rayen Sagredo — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Light Corridor House is an extension which celebrates the journey through the old to the new. Upon arrival, the property presents itself as a familiar Victorian worker’s cottage. The heritage façade has been restored to its former glory, and careful consideration has been given to retaining and celebrating the period features in the original part of the property. As visitors move down the typical Victorian gun barrel corridor, they arrive at a double-height spotted gum tunnel which is the beginning of the journey from old to new. This tunnel conceals the laundry and main bathroom, creating a seamless transition.

Datum House / FIGR Architecture & Design

Cristobal Rojas — Mon, 08 May 2017 20:00:00 +0000

When presented at the street elevation, Datum House borrows from the neighboring properties in roof form and material references. The project takes inspiration from its surroundings and context and reinterprets its findings through a contemporary take on a traditional Victorian elevation, resulting in a considered outcome and street integration. We started off with our client’s extensive brief for a home that had to house a growing family of 5. Our domestic container envelope was derived from a simple extrusion of the Victorian cottage silhouette, placed onto the narrow sloping site to set up a defined datum. The outcome is a result of the envelope being manipulated by the surrounding context, the required amenity and its negotiation with the existing site constraints.

Courtyard House / FIGR Architecture & Design

Sabrina Leiva — Thu, 23 Mar 2017 17:00:00 +0000

The Courtyard House is a nod to the tradition of the Italian Palazzo and Australian courtyard house, creating the constant connection between outdoor and indoor spaces. The house is divided by three landscaped zones: the front yard, the courtyard and the rear yard. The landscaped courtyard is the heart of the house, masking the neighbouring dwellings while at the same time revealing canopies of the surrounding trees.
