Homes

Our homes are our sanctuaries, and it’s this approach to architecture design for the home that makes a house design stand-out. At Habitus Living and Habitus magazine we are constantly seeking home architecture that exudes a special quality, homes that go beyond the traditional to really show what it means to live in design.

Take it outside

Can outdoor dining be the ultimate complement to the kitchen?

More than meets the eye

While the exterior maintains the allure of a period homestead, the interior of the Glen Iris House is a modernised masterpiece.

A cubed and curving city abode

Dark, cubic forms rise like a tower out of a lush garden in this Auckland home.

A home of contrasts

Darkened timbers jut out as an extension of the fence on the façade of Host House, while the interior embraces the charm of the original cottage.

Bondi House defies its small scale

Copper-clad, light-filled and angled to optimise privacy, the design for this minuscule 153.9-metre block makes the most of every aspect.

A reimagined beach house embraces its coastal location

With its distinctive skillion roof, the design of this beach house on NSW’s south coast is inspired by the mid-century vernacular of not only the original building but nearby homes as well.

Timber shroud

Working with a challenging triangular-shaped site, this home in Elwood, Melbourne, is a contemporary house that responds to both the majestic gum trees and locals who pass by on a daily basis.

The dark and the delightful

Raw materials, black on black, warm and sophisticated, the Onyx House is a modern twist on the coastal home. With bold and emotive choices, Story Design Collective brings together a house of design marvels.

An enduring presence

Furminger wraps a dilapidated weatherboard home in a new skin of heavy concrete and masonry walls that will withstand the elements.

3 kitchens with 3 different approaches

From a glamorous, sculptural island bench in Singapore to a layered timber kitchen and dining space – each of these kitchens offer something unique.

Raised on a plateau

Combining fluid form with expansive views, Rose Bay House by PopovBass takes the experience of a plateau as inspiration for its architecture and interiors.
