New Australian Properties

Key Residential Developments in Australia – Contemporary House Images.

post updated 19 December 2024

We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Australian Properties. We aim to include projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed properties, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Australia. The focus is on contemporary homes but information on traditional residential buildings is also welcome.

We have 4 pages of Australian house selections with links to many individual project pages.

Contemporary Australian Houses

New Property in Australia – major additions to this page, arranged chronologically:

Studio Feels, Clontarf, NSW
Design: Hobbs Jamieson Architecture

Studio Feels, Clontarf, NSW
The Studio Feels project involved a studio extension to the existing detached double garage on a large suburban block, to create a multi-purpose space and lower level sauna. The scope involved an addition consistent in scale with the lower level footprint displaying an architectural aesthetic in line with the original period detailing of the main home, and future renovation aspirations of the owners for the site.

Venus Bay Beach House, Victoria Home
A bach is a New Zealand term for a family summer house, usually fairly basic in form and simple in finish for when you are your bach you do your living outside, an appropriate starting point for this coastal house for a family of five originally from NZ.

Design: Modscape

Somers Modular Home, Victoria
Nestled in the south-eastern corner of the picturesque Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, this gorgeous beachside Somers Modular Home with stunning coastal views is all about luxury and natural light. The clients called on Modscape to design a knockdown rebuild project – a relaxing retreat they’d call home in the summer months.

Swan Street Residence
This new Australian residence sits at the end of a mature tree lined street opposite a private girls school. The narrowing of the street and the no-through road resulted in an initial desire to create a project that was concerned with notions of discovery and retreat.
