Carlton Cottage / Lovell Burton Architecture

Miwa Negoro — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 02:00:00 +0000

Carlton Cottage sought to re-imagine a tired single storey house on a small allotment into a new home for our young family. We resolved to address practical issues relating to water management, light quality, and thermal performance while taking cues from the existing cottage to arrange the home within its historical context. Intertwined with this pragmatism was an approach based on adaptability, regeneration, and an emphasis on spatial quality over material excesses.

Northcote Terrace / Lovell Burton Architecture

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.

Nestled within swaths of Moonah and tea tree is a new home for a professional couple seeking a seaside retreat in the coastal town of Barwon Heads. The house replaces a former dilapidated cedar cabin and serves as the couple’s primary residence and a holiday home for their three grown children who frequently visit. The form, orientation and materials of the dwelling respond to the extreme coastal conditions that define the site.

Springhill House / Lovell Burton Architects

The site was purchased by an author seeking a tree change having lived in inner city Melbourne for many years. The dwelling is part of a larger project to re-imagine and revitalize the underworked paddock into a place of habitation, connection, and reflection. The site slopes in the north-south direction and have been sculptured into subtly undulations from surface water that seeps through the ground from the adjacent Springhill. The dwelling is sited towards the high point of the site adjacent an outcrop of granite that forms an imperceptible rise to the north of the building site, offering both a foreground for aspect from the dwelling and obscuring view and noise from the road.
