Inverdon House
Once architect Chloe Naughton finished her studies, like many university graduates, she returned home to rural north Queensland. But in her case it was to work.

Balnarring Retreat
Balnarring Retreat is a refined she-shed created by Branch Studio Architects as a space in which the resident can create, cook, teach, read, relax and sleep. At the other end of her and her husband’s property on the southeastern Mornington Peninsula, Balnarring Retreat is a feminine answer to the man-cave.

 

Hill Plains House
Built by architect Jeremy Wolveridge for himself and his family Hill Plains House is located in the midst of 20 rugged acres of farmland near Kyneton, Victoria. To the north is a large dam and bushland, to the south undulating grazing land.
