The Avenue by Neil Architecture. Architectural design was developed by Neil Architecture designed this home in the Blackburn suburb of Melbourne, Australia.
Description from the architects:
One of our primary aims was the development of a sensitive typology for urban consolidation in what is an established outer suburban fringe setting. The lack of defining boundary elements along the street preserves the original landscape features and serves to unify the streetscape appearance and reinforce the prevailing neighbourhood character.

Shibuya – Newtown Townhomes Tony Owen Partners. Architectural design was developed by Hank Jarz — Filed under: Housing ,Residential , Australia, Newtown, Sydney, Tony Owen Partners
The result; ‘Shibuya – Newtown, is a study of sculptural possibilities on a tight urban sight.
The existing structure is a 2 story masonry vernacular industrial structure. The proposal maintains all of the existing external walls and includes light weight additions. These additions form an attic-like loft space, rear courtyards, garage and studios for 2 dwellings.
This included impact of existing trees. (see studies). Various massing options were explored and shadow studies conducted to measure impact. The above process resulted in an optimal built form for the site. It was intended that the design maintained the robust utilitarian expression of the existing industrial building whilst maximizing the residential amenity. The living and bedroom spaces are directed to the courtyards, which provide light and outlook. Via

Flipped House by MCK Architects. Architectural design was developed by MCK Architects designed the Flipped House in Sydney, Australia.
Description from the architects:
A 1960’s house has been replaced and reflected by a contemporary version of itself, with a focus that now engages as much on the surrounding garden as it does the panoramic CBD view.
The original plan and massing were adapted + literally ‘flipped’ with garden elements to create a more expansive connection from inside to out. Details, fixtures and fittings are sensitive to the original home. Via
