Award Summary:

  • Houses Awards 2024 – Winner: Australian House of the Year – Musgrave
    From the Jury:
    This exemplary home disrupts the well-trodden path of adaptations to a familiar housing type. It resists the temptation to expand and enlarge, instead containing all that is needed for a family of four in the footprint of the existing worker’s cottage.
    In opting to stay within the existing footprint, in exploring ways that a private domestic space can engage with the neighbourhood, and in adopting a loose-fit, long-life ethos that supports the happy coexistence of work and domestic life, the architects have reframed the house without eradicating the qualities of the original. Confident yet understated and exquisitely resolved, Red Hill House and Studio is an exceptional example of the potency of doing less. It is deservingly named the 2024 Australian House of the Year.
