The many-faceted offerings of Willow Urban Retreat define its tranquil presence as a haven that serves as a platform for human connection to self, community and place.

We speak with founding director, Ellie Taylor of Lande Architects about Charles Street, a project of which she is both architect and owner, where an Abbotsford cottage is given a new chapter.

We explore Project 12 Architecture’s Northcote Residence, where an existing Californian bungalow and its ill-fitting 1980s extension is given new life through a contemporary lens.

The Garden Room House sees a living and breathing core inserted to create both visual and ventilated connections to the existing Victorian home and its new extension.

We visit the off-grid Yandoit Cabin from Adam Kane Architects which is tucked away in the gumtrees, north west of Melbourne.
