Greenacres is Austin Maynard Architects first completed project in New South Wales. Unable to save the original dilapidated house, a new home was constructed on the steep block, a topography that set new and exciting challenges. The varying heights created the opportunity for multiple platforms to view the expansive outlook over the ocean, the Merewether Ocean Baths, and the city of Newcastle.

A client approached Austin Maynard Architects to design a prefabricated pod that could provide additional living space without the time and disruption of a traditional renovation. The intention was to create a compact, self-contained building that could sit within an existing property and function as a flexible extension of the home.
