(Architect's statement) Mosman House was designed to elevate the occupants beyond their suburban context, forging a deeper connection with the natural elements around the site, the harbour and headlands beyond. The house features open-plan living areas opening onto terraces, gardens and a cantilevered swimming pool. New landscaping was critical to the design, reinstating the site's native species while preserving mature angophora trees to frame water views while establishing privacy from adjacent neighbours.

An off-form concrete roof hovers over the whole top floor, suspended by a series of slender steel columns. The roof was designed to capture northern winter sun and natural light, while framing the canopy of surrounding angophoras.

The construction was challenging due to the unconventional roof form and strict tolerances of the exposed concrete and steel structure. The finished simple, calm spaces owe their resolution to the whole construction team and consultants, without whose input it would not have been possible.

(Architect's statement) Situated on an exposed Byron hinterland ridgeline site, Coopers Shoot was imagined as a series of terraced stone platforms embedded in their rural setting. From sun-drenched terraces to sheltered courtyards, the home responds to its context, creating a sanctuary that feels both intimate and expansive.

A ‘no fuss’ approach was taken to the house, encouraging the activities of the rural setting to play out throughout the interior living zones whether by work boots, barefoot or paws.

The fluid program of the house was supported by robust materials; heavy basalt walls, stone and concrete floors, and board formed concrete ceilings were designed to weather chaos both internally and externally. Dramatic proportions and scale bring this simple building form to life; the solidity of the stonewalls is complimented with oversized openings, and deep thresholds mark the transitions between private, communal, indoor and outdoor zones.

(Architect's statement) ‘Casa Atardeceres’ is located on Cape Byron, the most eastern point of Australia. The house is formed in two parts. A brick and stone base, with a gently rising landscape ramp and terrace, houses the majority of rooms. A living pavilion on the base opens to a garden, carved into the forested hill. Its vaulted ceiling springs to varying heights, capturing light and views.

The master bedroom looks into a private tiled courtyard, carved into the roof. The house overlooks the turquoise waters and distant hills of Byron Bay.

‘Atardeceres’ means: ‘when the sun sets.’

At that time, at the end of the living room, a daybed waits in a blush of pink.

(Architect's statement) Surrey 112 has transformed a long-neglected site in Darlinghurst into a timeless four-bedroom home and studio. To its front street address, the building now presents as an elegant mid-19th century Victorian terrace, with minimal intervention besides high efficiency glazing, corrugated zinc roofing, and the reinstatement of ornate original details. This lightness of touch belies the substantial rework that has not only revitalised the building but elevated it in its entirety into a contemporary condition.

The four-storey addition at the rear of the main house is wrapped in off-white bricks in a woven English Bond pattern, harmonious in palette and scale to the rendered Italianate terrace.

The building’s quatrefoil motif breaks away from the conventional. At the rear of the terrace is a dramatic double height form with light, invited from concealed windows, bouncing off curved and rendered walls. This pattern of intersecting circles extends into the landscape as a stepped terrace encompassed by monolithic brick walls on each side. These moves create a vast outdoor room with light filtered through an arcade of deciduous trees.
