Williamson Williamson looks to a 19th-century American housing type for DogTrot, a 1,500-square-foot country house in Magnetawan, Ontario.

Building there would have […] More

Lumeah by Pepper & Well approaches renovation as an exercise in editing. Located in Macedon on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country, the house was originally designed by modernist architect Paul Couch and was formerly known as Harley House.
