Phoenix House in Byron Bay, Australia by Harley Graham Architects
Houses |
Phoenix House was a deeply personal project which became a labour of love. I had purchased a small Queenslander from the early 1900s in Corinda, Brisbane. I had different plans for it, but my life took an interesting turn and it was suddenly to become the new home for myself and my two children.

The Polish Farmhouse: Transformation of a historical homestead into a modern home by BXB Studio
Houses |
The seemingly random scattering of barns was carefully defined by the surrounding landscape, the position of the sun and the function of the building. The first barn, which is a garage, acts as a massive buffer separating the house from the road.

Marefat Yard in Isfahan, Iran by No.68 atelier
Houses |
This was a roof with no operation, so we decided to make a nostalgic space for holding private events. These events hold with about 150 people population, so we need spaces for them. We want each person who go there feel travel to past years and see nostalgic symbols, so we started to design a historical house based on Ghajar architecture.

The Starling’s Nest by Rerucha Studio, a complete renovation and interior design of a mid-century Seattle house originally built in 1952
Houses |
This mid-century home held promise, despite having endured a series of clumsy additions, including a 1980s sunroom addition and years of disrepair and neglect. The home takes its name from a family of starlings that nested in the home’s wall cavities, which were left open from previously abandoned repairs. Originally designed in 1952 by noted Seatt...
