A cottage in Carlton and a tiny cabin among the gum trees: Victoria’s best new homes
“We have given priority to the perception of space and light, which has a bathroom in many bedrooms or rooms in many bedrooms or in every room, Burton says. “This is a little budget -oriented, but luxury, really fancy stone covering, jumped on a wall.”

Instead, solid materials such as recycled bricks and polished concrete floors were used in the structure.
When possible, the couple increased the connection to the outside with large glass doors framed in the wooden wood, and allowed their children to play with other children in the lane behind the house.
Burton says, “The most privileged thing from this project is that you actually have something you’ve designed,” Burton says. “You can really see what works, what doesn’t work, and what’s going to do, or you may not be able to do it again.”
For things that Burton cannot do again, there are walls that are washed lime in a family house because it is impossible to remove the texta signs of children.
Other Victoria winners include Hedge and Arbor House, a suburban house, a suburban house wrapped in Vines, which is given in more than 200 square meters in the new house.
MESS HALL from Architecture Architecture is a Carlton family house with a community center or post -school care facility. The re -processing of this Victorian terrace won the house in the context of the inheritance.
Robbie Walker’s timber factory is a small cabin hanging on the gum trees in Mansfield, Mansfield. It enters the trend of small houses and is a calm and restorative area.
The cabin was rented as an Airbnb and won the best new house under 200 square meters.
While Victoria Homes claimed most of the best awards, the Australian house of the year was won by three sisters designed by a Queensland House, Block three sisters Vokes and Peters and block modular for three sisters who spent their childhood holidays on the same site.
The houses were made prefabricated at the block modular factory in Brisbane and were later delivered and assembled in the region on North Stradbroke Island.
Alexa Kempton, the chairman of the home prizes, said that most of the winning houses show extremely flexible ways of life and thoughtfully created more urban density.
“Long -term thought supported the design of houses that could adapt to changing needs over time,” he said. “In more than one category winners, designs have solved this need for a commitment -adaptable home space on quality.
