House in a Garden / Edition Office

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 07:00:00 +0000

There is something familiar in Grant Nimmo's paintings of lush, forested landscapes. The deeply enriching emotional response to being within the time, the temperature, the sounds, and the colours of the natural world. They depict, with a hauntingly beautiful degree of realism, the feeling of being within the complexity of spaces framed within a thickly planted landscape. Their existence today feels almost archival, as if they record an environment increasingly diminishing, still within reach, but only just. Spaces are connected, overlap, and peek out from behind trees. They shift and bend around the life and depth of the landscape. They are connected.

450 Gore Street, Fitzroy / Edition Office + Neometro

Miwa Negoro — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 02:00:00 +0000

This new limited series of 18 apartments, designed by award-winning architects Edition Office and one of Australia's longest-standing design-focused development groups, Neometro, is set in the leafy streets of Fitzroy, Melbourne.

Naples Street House / Edition Office

Hana Abdel — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 06:00:00 +0000

The Naples Street House is a small footprint house entirely wrapped in brick cladding. From this outer footprint, the house turns inwards, wrapping itself around a central outdoor garden room and utilizing the forms of the undulating folded roofline to curate views so that only the sky and neighboring trees are encountered from within the house. From within, the house forms its own intimate relationship with the context of light and sun and seasonal change.

Mossy Point House / Edition Office

Hana Abdel — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The Mossy Point House required a robust design methodology to respond to its modest budget while maintaining an acutely defined relationship to its interior and the surrounding landscape. The simple cement-sheet cladding references the smooth, silvery bark of towering Spotted Gum trees surrounding the house while echoing the tiny 'fibro' shack that was the original occupant of the site. Presenting as a single-story building, the home is perched on a series of parallel block-work walls and was evolved to mediate between the built, the natural, and the nuances of contemporary liveability.

Mary Street House / Edition Office

Hana Abdel — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 01:00:00 +0000

The Mary Street House is a reimagining of a well-worn Federation-era home. Occupying the end of its street, the urban site is open to three sides, opening to the northern sun while simultaneously needing to overcome the challenges of facing a busy and noisy arterial road.

Fenwick Residences / Edition Office

Hana Abdel — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 06:00:00 +0000

The project is located on a remarkable edge of the Birrarung/Yarra River adjacent to Yarra Bend Park with northern vistas to the valley beyond. Perched on the edge of the escarpment with immediate views along the river as potent as the expansive horizon which unfolds to the north the site allows unencumbered connections to landscapes which are rare this close to the city. The site also sits within an area that has a high concentration of well-preserved 50’s and 60’s post-war houses, athletically meandering across the sloping sites adjacent to the river.

Kyneton House / Edition Office

Hana Abdel — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Our clients, self-described as being in the autumn years of their lives, were relocating and downsizing away from an expansive rural property. Conscious of reflecting this period of their lives, they hoped the home might capture the qualities and atmosphere of autumnal light, colour and texture.

231 Napier Street Residential Building / Edition Office

Hana Abdel — Tue, 31 May 2022 01:00:00 +0000

Positioned on a peaceful street in the heart of Fitzroy, 231 Napier Street forms eleven exclusive apartments designed by the award-winning Melbourne architecture practice, Edition Office. Surrounded by culture and commerce, this quiet pocket is an understandably coveted spot, bordered by Gertrude, Smith, and Brunswick Streets just north of the city. Reflecting Milieu’s dedication to enhancing neighborhoods through design and Edition Office’s commitment to ambitious architecture, Napier Street has been designed with consideration for its surrounding buildings, marrying contemporary ideals with the history of the site and context.

Hawthorn House / Edition Office

Andreas Luco — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 01:00:00 +0000

Our primary design response for the Hawthorn House was to first recalibrate the entire project site into a large and singular terrace; one grand outdoor theatre for living which peels upwards at each title boundary to form a living garden backdrop that would appear at every viewpoint from the living areas of the home. Within this garden platform, the house is defined by a pair of heavily textured concrete shrouds, each with its own proportion and personality, linked together by a walkway and courtyard garden. The arched concrete shrouds evolved as a method of structurally supporting the house with its own skin; designed to be understood as protective cloak rather than as signifiers of support. These shrouds provide the framework for how the spaces within the home relate to each other and to the external environment. From the first floor the context appears denied, however these more private bathing and sleeping spaces are pulled away from the ends of the solid skin which allows each elevated pavilion to look out through full height glazing onto their own private courtyards full of plants, sky and tree canopy. At ground floor within the living, cooking and dining spaces the concrete shells provide clear connectivity with the entire landscape and a sense of unexpected lightness, while carefully concealing the neighbouring context.

Federal House / Edition Office

Hana Abdel — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 07:00:00 +0000

Architecture, specifically the house, is an act of enabling shelter, a vessel through which in turn enables habitation and the ongoing experience of a particular time and place. Within the folding hills of its hinterland site, the Federal House acts as both experiential containers for this place and as a conditioning object, consciously aware of its outsider status within the traditional ownership and legacy of this landscape.

For Our Country Memorial / Edition Office + Daniel Boyd

Valeria Silva — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 19:00:00 +0000

For Our Country, is the inaugural National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander War Memorial, commissioned by the Australian War memorial (AWM) and located on Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country.

In Absence Pavilion / Edition Office + Yhonnie Scarce

Paula Pintos — Tue, 05 May 2020 01:00:00 +0000

In Absence is the fifth annual NGV Architecture Commission, and which invites audiences to better understand the fallacy and ongoing legacy of the premise of Terra Nullius, which declared Australia as an emptiness awaiting ownership, by revealing and celebrating over 3000 generations of Indigenous design, industry and agriculture.

Point Lonsdale House / Edition Office

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 19:00:00 +0000

The Point Lonsdale House is a linear-formed beach-house composed of four interlinked pavilions, each defined by its own vaulted roof form and which holds within it the separate functions of the home. The house is shaped to fit the East-West orientation of its site and is aligned to the southern boundary to allow the living spaces to engage with the long northern garden. Each of the pavilion forms is divided to the south by a series of private courtyard gardens and sheltered decks, which provides the house with a complex relationship to a number of external living spaces.

Fish Creek House / Edition Office

Rayen Sagredo — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

The house sits firmly along a winding ridgeline on the outskirts of the small township of Fish Creek. The home surrounds itself in a highly textured brickwork wall in response to its exposed position to strong local winds and a nearby country road. This long wall wraps the three nested, black timber pavilions of the house like a rough and coarse blanket and offers them shelter while they sit upon the lower wall edge and gaze out upon the undulating and extraordinary coastline of Wilsons Promontory. The three pavilions are pulled out from each other and from the northern edge of the rough brick wall to allow sunlight to slide deep into a series of sheltered and planted courtyards that offer immediate garden and deck relationships to the interior spaces. These interiors provide a warm and robust palette of timber-lined walls, black-pigmented concrete floors and black form-ply ceilings.
