Bangalow Road House stands on a narrow 360m² corner block in Byron Bay, Australia, shaped by Son Studio as a compact, efficient family house. The project responds to tight height and boundary controls with stacked timber volumes and a central courtyard that mediate between a busy street and calm interior life. Within this modest footprint, the house treats light, screening, and climate as core architectural tools rather than add-ons.

Villa XXIII settles into the hillside of Eaglemont, Victoria, Australia with a quiet confidence. Designed by FGR Architects, the house moves low and long across two steep allotments and takes its cues from the Mount Eagle estate’s landscape and legacy. Completed in 2024, it brings a restrained palette and a clear plan to a storied terrain where light and vegetation shape daily life.
