In Australia, we've almost been conditioned to view apartments as something temporary until you can move out to the suburbs in your detached home on a quarter-acre block, most likely with your 2.3 children and dog. However, Aurburn Road is an apartment development designed by Aych Architects.

Jane Riddell Architects: Over Pool House was designed to allow for contemporary family life to play out beyond the formal front rooms of an existing Victorian house. The pool sits at the threshold between old and new built form and provides the element of surprise as one moves between the two distinct parts of the house.
