The Derwent River is the world’s most zinc polluted river in the world. MONA  invited Austin Maynard Architects to propose a floating laboratory, adjacent to the MONA art gallery, where the University of Tasmania could study the river in detail. The floating laboratory was to be called “The Heavy Metals Lab” a floating laboratory for scientific research, arts engagement, and remediation of the Derwent Estuary’s heavy metal legacy.

Austin Maynard Architects were engaged by Up Properties to reimagine their award winning Morris Moor sustainable precinct. The master plan aims to tie together the seperate programmes across the site and create a vibrant community space within the heart of Morris Moor.

Holt is a considered intervention that balances the preservation of a significant Edwardian-era terrace with the need for high-performance, sustainable living. An elegant contemporary residential project defined by raw concrete, timber detailing, and soft curved geometries.

The new standard of sustainable density located on the prominent corner of High Street and Rossmoyne Street, Thornbury House is Austin Maynard Architects’ latest vision for the "Missing Middle."

With Clifton Park at your doorstep and Gilpin Park just across the street, the design embraces its unique setting with windows that invite natural surrounds in at every opportunity. 

Austin Maynard Architects arrive to Geelong West with family sized, climate resilient housing designed for a connected and healthy lifestyle, located in a gorgeous, quiet street adjacent to the thriving Pakington Village.

A considered conversion to a beautiful old house, Erindale is a continuation of our intent to strive beyond standard sustainability practices and address the issue of ‘radical sufficiency’ by simply using less. 

This project transforms a dark, disjointed "rabbit warren" into The PentHouse – dissolving walls to reveal continuous views, radiant light and a layout that finally makes sense.

An ethical, beautifully-designed, highly sustainable building comprising twenty residences, with 55 bike parks and three commercial spaces at ground level. Austin Maynard Architect’s first multi-residential project as both architect and developer, Terrace House takes a revolutionary approach to housing and delivers quality apartments that are environmentally, socially and financially sustainable.

A family of four, work-from-home professionals and their two teenage daughters, concluded that their living situation was no longer working. Clarke is the renovation and extension of a single-storey weatherboard cottage once void of light, definition, separation and all hope of personal space.

On an established suburban street just off the National Circuit, Hotham seeks to slow-down and consider Canberra’s past, present and future built environment. Working to demonstrate the importance of responding to, rather than erasing the cultural and architectural fabric of Australia’s Capital city.

Parkside is an adaptable and sustainable home intended for aging-in-place. This compact two-storey house realises the owners longstanding retirement plan; to downsize into their own backyard.

Helvetia is the alteration and renovation of a double storey Victorian terrace in Fitzroy, Melbourne.

Canberra is home to some of the best examples of post-war and modernist architecture in Australia. Empire house is located in a culturally significant and important area of the city, on a ring-road that forms part of architect team Walter Burley and Marion Mahony Griffin’s masterplan.

The average Australian house uses 19kwh of energy per day. Garden House produces 100kwh per day and has a 26kwh Tesla battery. A high-performing, hi tech, inner-city oasis, Garden House is our most sustainable home yet. 

Built on a tight urban site with no additional footprint, this project focuses on sustainable repair to create a beautiful, long-term family home.
