Neville Street Residence by Chan Architecture

Neville Street Residence by Chan Architecture. Located on a small residential site in the bayside suburb of Middle Park, this project sought to renovate and restore a single fronted Victorian terrace house as well as provide additional accommodation to the rear. Due to the heritage status of the existing building this prompted us to design the new works to minimise it’s visibility from the front by setting the rear extension well back from the street.

Treadwell by Steve Zagorski

Tredwell is a courtyard house designed by Steve Zagorski for a young couple starting a family in the heart of the Zilker park area of Austin Texas. We like to design courtyard houses and use the architecture to create a private outdoor space. The courtyard also allows for most all of the rooms to have a view of the internal space. This house features an indoor outdoor feel which allows for a sense of openness. Given the climate of Austin there generally is a provision for outdoor living. Photography by Brian Cole.

Modern Victorian by Frank Franco Architects

Modern Victorian is a project designed by Frank Franco Architects. The design objective was to bring the 110-year-old dwelling up to contemporary standards by adding a three-story rear addition, improving the overall layout, and updating the interior finishes. While one partner felt strongly about maintaining the traditional character of the home, the other hoped to achieve a boldly modern aesthetic. To suit both tastes, the Victorian style front facade is respected and maintained, while the new addition at the rear is contrastingly modern. Photography by Bob Gundu.

Casa Rivo Alto by Praxis Architecture Miami

The project designed by Praxis Architecture Miami is located on Rivo Alto Island, a lozenge shaped artificial island built in 1926, on the Biscayne Bay waterway, part of a string connecting Miami to Miami Beach. The lot (60 ft x 150 ft) enjoys views of the downtown Miami skyline to the West. It is approximately 6 ft above the main water level, as most of coastal Miami. The prevailing breeze is from the East due to its proximity to the Sea. Foreseeing possible flood conditions, the house is elevated to 16 ft above the sea level, creating a cross-ventilated and shaded casual living space at the ground level.

Humble House by R Architecture

Humble House is a project designed by R Architecture. With the precision and foresight of a sculptor, our project chips away at the stifling ‘nice to haves’ of homelife, leaving behind only the essentials of elegant, functional living — the result is Humble House. In designing Humble House we denote that scaling down need not be synonymous with sacrifice, rather Humble House offers a refined, though unassuming aesthetic that advocates for the joys of stripping away excess and living simply with ease. Photography by Dylan James.
