Arthouse Swanbourne is a climate-responsive coastal residence where art, gardens and an agile terrace shape privacy, light, shelter, and daily life.

The Estelle Residence in Oakleigh, Victoria, designed by Patrick Cristian Gheorghiu of pcg. blends Japanese minimalism with local design restraint to create a serene sanctuary. From street level, the robust masonry and warm timber elements engage with natural light filtered through timber screens and expansive glazing. The home’s connection to nature is emphasised through its structured garden, muted material palette, and a sculptural staircase that unites living spaces with elegant simplicity. Thoughtful external features, like weatherboard cladding and a circular timber portal, blend suburban charm with modernity. Celebrated for this harmonious design, it won the 2018 HIA Award for Best Renovation and Addition under $1M.

On Yallingup Ridge, a collaboration between Naked Architecture and Phil Kelleher Homes balances honest, tactile materiality with a semi‑rural setting and calibrated spatial generosity. Rammed earth and natural stone deliver thermal mass, texture and permanence, while light surfaces and warm mineral tones lift high ceilings. Native plantings and framed bush views stitch the house to the country, with climate‑savvy detailing mediating inside and out. In the kitchen, crafted joinery integrates high‑end appliances and a wine store, expressing innovation as orchestration. Winner of the 2025 HIA South West awards for Innovation and Custom Built Home of the Year, it’s confident and unmistakably local.
