A Leading Architect’s Compact And Clever Fitzroy Family Home

When Karen Alcock, principal of MAArchitects, and her partner Jojo bought this interwar Fitzroy house back in 2006, the floorplan was a mere 45 square metres.

Undeterred by its small size, overgrown garden, and laneway-facing location, the couple saw its potential, eventually undergoing a complete renovation and small extension. 

After 15 years, Karen, Jojo and their son Luca have decided to move on (the property goes to auction March 18!), but not before we joined them for one last tour!

Casa Warrandyte

This peaceful bush retreat in North Warrandyte was one of our MOST beloved homes when it was featured on The Design Files – and now you can shift gears from internet stalking the home to actually staying in it!

Designed by Alistair Knox in the 1970’s, the modernist property still features the rough-sewn dark timber the architect is renown for using, now illuminated with renovated skylights and a new Terrazzo tile floor. This mudbrick bush retreat is less than an hour from Melbourne, nestled amongst the birds, bush and river.
