Eddie Garden House is a project designed by Alexandra Buchanan Architecture. Eddie is a terrace renovation, built on a small 140sqm site in Melbourne’s Fitzroy North. Our brief asked for an improved three-bedroom, one bathroom home. As is common with old terraces, they sought more natural light, better airflow, and privacy. They also wished for a garden; a green oasis that would provide peace and respite within the dense inner city. Photography by Cieran Murphy Photography.

Hawthorn East designed by Alexandra Buchanan Architecture is home to many beautiful examples of Victorian era cottages and terraces. The typology proliferates the suburb and manifests a delightful and nostalgic neighbourhood character. However beautiful they are from the street, many of these houses are no longer suited to the lifestyles and living situations of modern Australians.

The Goodtown house designed by by Alexandra Buchanan Architecture is a beautifully crafted, texturally rich contemporary courtyard home in the sought-after suburb of Rochedale, 17km south- east of Brisbane. The large 1900m2 plot situated on the corner of Goodtown street and Grieve road with large imposing neighbouring homes, presented a challenging design brief to the architects.
