Australian Residences

Key Contemporary Residential Properties in Australia

post updated 15 April 2022

New Australian Residences

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

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

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

Harold Street Residence
The Harold Street Residence is a new two storey dwelling located in a heritage overlay area of Middle Park. The brief called for a new residence for a couple with university age children that would accommodate their evolving family needs. The ground floor provides the primary residence for our clients, engaging both with the street and garden, whilst the upper level provides more flexible living areas and bedrooms for their children, visitors and grandchildren.

Falvey House
Situated on a small edge of city site this project explores the context of the specific house and neighbouring suburbia whilst responding to the requirements of a growing family. It is a relatively small extension with new parts manipulating and exaggerating existing qualities creating an appropriate and sympathetic dialogue between old and new whilst exploiting every part of the site.
