Melbourne Architecture

Wood Marsh designs a series of stem-like residences

Treading the fine line between art and architecture, the Wood Marsh design for No. 6 Sydney Street in Prahran is realised as a sculptural form that sits lightly in the streetscape.

A cut below

Instead of building up, Mitsuori Architects dug down, resulting in a home that responds better to the needs and aspirations of its occupants.

Wellard Architects is a practice that doesn’t make a fuss, or shout out its name. The practitioners of this studio are the quiet achievers but they happen to be making quite a lot of design noise at the moment.

Putting the mid-century into Thornbury

Dan Gayfer Design has reimagined a jaded family home with mid-century accents and stellar planning for a food-loving family of four.

Timmins + Whyte nicknamed this Abbotsford house “10 Fold” in reference to its architectural language and the fact that its owners enjoy it ten times more than anyone could have anticipated.

Redefined lines and living
