A simple modern family home with mid century riffs. Mono-pitch roof, walls of glass, colour blocks and sunken lounge. It’s about catching the sun and taking in the views. Sleeping zones at either end of the 4m wide building are connected by living areas that open to a sunny patio. Easterbrook House in Titirangi, Auckland by Dorrington Atcheson Architects.

Maybe but I still love it. North Fitzroy extension by Melbourne based Pleysier Perkins.

In case you haven’t noticed I’ve jumped on the contemporary Australian design bandwagon. I’m excited by the spaces being created in my country at the moment none more so than simple domestic spaces. Family homes with flair. Day to day living with style and storage solutions. Looks good, works well, feeds the soul.

A gem of a small house extension and backyard studio. Light dances through brick lattice and skylights while the simple triangular volume provides living and sleeping space. Floating. Lightweight. Jewel House by Karen Abernathy Architects.

Like a tottering tower of toy blocks perched precariously on the edge of a hill the Murnane Residence by Project M+ allows for stylish family living never far away from the stunning view. Reach out touch the sky or climb a rock wall to the next floor in your childhood dreams.
