Behind the traditional frontage of a 1940s semi-detached cottage in Bondi, Andrew Burges Architects Bismarck House unfolds as a series of experiments with form, materiality and space.

Drawing sun deep into the floorplan of Balmain Lightwell House, Andrew Burges Architects harnesses views and brings the outside in.

Bismarck House sees Andrew Burges Architects tasked with a less than conventional brief, creating and informal home that embraces its long and linear landscape and site.

We explore Andrew Burges’ Plywood House II, where the traditional Australian residential block typology is challenged, and an expression of its geometry is articulated.
