LLDS has designed Northcote House in Melbourne, Australia.

This project reconceptualises the Victorian terrace typology in response to a narrow urban site in a former industrial laneway with a brown roof and a dramatic light-filled interior.

The concept elevates the ground to form a roof garden, reducing the urban heat island effect and supporting local ecology. Below the free-form timber roof is a kitchen and dining hall with an entrance veranda – while the highly textured concrete internal wall provides thermal mass and reduces flutter echo to the interior.

"At an urban level, Northcote House reconsiders the terrace typology as a green finger that would infill similar under-utilised urban spaces," said LLDS.


This project has been longlisted in the house (urban) category of Dezeen Awards 2024.
