Cloud Street / Steffen Welsch Architects

Valeria Silva — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 02:00:00 +0000

Part of an inner suburban neighbourhood, Cloud Street – a large family home with an extensive program - is a two-storey building with its own identity that appears modest and merges effortlessly into its surroundings. It reflects our ethos of building as background that avoids standing out but draws its strength from being part of and contributing to something else, in this case a relaxed suburban street in a family friendly neighbourhood.

Northcote Terrace / Lovell Burton Architecture

Hana Abdel — Wed, 06 Apr 2022 20:00:00 +0000

Northcote Terrace sought to re-imagine a tired single storey terrace house on a small allotment into a new home for a young family. The site is situated at the base of Rucker’s Hill and would previously have formed part of the MerrI Merri flood plain. The grain of European urbanisation was driven by industries such as slaughterhouses and brickworks, giving the immediate precinct a working-class character, this residual grain is still evident today. The site itself is characterised by its narrow width, its south facing orientation and the existing semi-detached brick Victorian Terrace. Due to its orientation and marginal setbacks, the internal spaces of the existing dwelling were dark, with no aspect or connection to external amenity.

Ruckers Hill House / Studio Bright

Hana Abdel — Mon, 31 May 2021 20:00:00 +0000

A prominent, corner sited Edwardian on the crest of Ruckers Hill, has been restored and enlarged with new living spaces in a separate rear-garden pavilion. Pushing the new addition to the back of this site allows a sun-filled pool and garden, and a streetscape expression akin to a garden pavilion; contemporary and street-tough, but a little bit Edwardian in spirit.

Foyn-Johanson House / Harrison and White

Nico Saieh — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 00:00:00 +0000

We see one of the key issues in Australian housing being how we use the sun to improve new and existing houses. In this project we made a very clear attempt to form a house around the idea of preserving light into a garden space. As houses become (often unnecessarily) bigger and blocks smaller, the available land for gardens is reduced. We have created a garden that enjoys light all day – the form has cut from it the rays of the morning sun to ensure light falls onto the growing area, one which the clients will use for the growing of food.
