Sorrento Beach House / Jost Architects

Hana Abdel — Mon, 21 Aug 2023 18:00:00 +0000

After snagging a quarter-acre block in the heart of Sorrento, our clients commissioned us to design a home that would suit them both as a holiday house for now and a permanent home in the future. The brief was exacting. A “super-stylish and cool” design that was seamless from inside to outside entertaining with Scandinavian and mid-century modern influences. A second-story with an amazing view, a separate reach, but not too far, bungalow for the clients’ three soon-to-be teenage children, and a solar-heated pool. Finally, a roof deck with unimpeded views of the surrounding tea trees. They also wanted at least four bedrooms, privacy from their neighbors, and, unusually for a beach house, a darker, moodier interior with plenty of timber, stone, and glass.

TheÜber Shed 2 is the second rural building we have designed on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. The project came about because the client had “a lot of stuff” and needed more space to store it, display it and enjoy it.

St Kilda Cottage House / Jost Architects

Valeria Silva — Fri, 13 Mar 2020 19:00:00 +0000

We took a classic weatherboard cottage located in St Kilda with a council Heritage Overlay and removed the previous 1980s extension to the rear. The two front bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor, being part of the original main area of the house, was retained.

Kew East House / Jost Architects

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 31 Dec 2018 21:00:00 +0000

Looking to the future, the clients required a house capable of a multi-generational family dynamic including their teenage children, Timba the dog and older parents who frequently visit from overseas but will eventually join them permanently.

St Kilda East Townhouses / Jost Architects

Cristobal Rojas — Fri, 28 Oct 2016 17:00:00 +0000

The initial core aim of the St Kilda East Townhouses was as a family development generating two typical dwellings that can functionally house downsizing grandparents in one (my parents), and comfortably accommodate a young family of five in the other (myself, wife and kids). It had to be cost effective but with a good aesthetic outcome. The site being located on a corner with a dog leg in the street and a street address to the long boundary meant that the dwellings needed to run end to end, parallel to the street. This breaks from the more traditional side by side mirrored plan townhouse. It also meant that along with particular site and planning conditions, in this case, daily living is somewhat exposed to the local community.

Malvern House / Jost Architects

Cristobal Rojas — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 17:00:00 +0000

The project involved a small, inter-war semi-detached house which despite the local council’s Heritage B grading, appeared to have very few significant features or attributes. From the outset, this posed challenges to achieving the client’s enthusiastic brief.

St Kilda House / Jost Architects

Cristian Aguilar — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 18:00:35 +0000

The project was the complete revival of small home on death’s door. Other than applying the standard functional and aesthetic requirements of a small family within their financial considerations, urgent architectural CPR was required. Despite the misgivings of others, the clients’ and project team recognised an opportunity to create a unique home, embracing the history of the building and meeting the obvious challenges with excitement.

Patterson Street Residence / Jost Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 01:00:00 +0000

The Patterson Street residence is located 4km from Melbourne CBD, nestled between the bayside suburbs of Albert Park and West St Kilda on the edge of Port Philip. The original 1900s Bungalow Federation had undergone a number of minor additions over the years, and the client wanted to reinvigorate the house by adding a modern extension to the rear of the retained area of heritage building.

Ormond Road Apartments / Jost Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Sat, 10 May 2014 01:00:00 +0000

The Ormond Road Apartments, a small residential development located in the popular Melbourne bayside suburb of Elwood, sits within the established shopping & café precinct of Ormond Road near Port Phillip Bay. It is made up of two commercial tenancies opening to the street, and ten one and two bedroom units that extend over and down a traditional, urban Melbourne bluestone lane.

The Über Shed / Jost Architects

Daniel Sánchez — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 01:00:00 +0000

The ÜberShed is a new work-shed / rural retreat on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. The client’s brief was for a functional shed with a work bench area, to house farming equipment, and a simple, attached retreat with a bathroom, kitchenette and sleeping area.

New House At Milton St Elwood Victoria / Jost Architects

Victoria King — Fri, 18 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000

The Elwood House is a new residential dwelling with a separate garage and studio to the rear. The client’s brief was for a modern family home that was interesting and exciting but not to the detriment of the comfort to the occupants and within a sensible budget. “The client wanted a house that was clean, distinctive and enjoyable to use without feeling like they were an object in their own home purely because it was of a contemporary design” says the architect, Patrick Jost.
