Room 11 on Lunchbox Architect

The compact Highway House takes full advantage of its difficult, but dramatic site — sitting lightly over Hobart and the Derwent River…

At first, Lookout House looks like a whacky modern barn, but through the sliding barn door a wonderful courtyard house with spectacular views unfolds.

Blessed with a large block in a good area, this family decided to downsize in the backyard, in spite of the constraints.

Built in an area that sometimes encounters snow, this home in the hills has a small footprint, but large volumes make it feel spacious.
