Why Simplicity Makes This 120m² Home Feel Surprisingly Spacious

Behind a 1912 Edwardian home in Northcote, this compact laneway dwelling by Ben Callery Architects offers a thoughtful response to the urgent challenges of contemporary housing—ageing in place, increasing density, affordability, and sustainability.

With a footprint of just 120m², it’s a study in restraint. Recycled brick and natural timber bring texture, warmth, and durability, while high-performance design allows the home to quietly endure even Melbourne’s hottest days without reliance on mechanical cooling.

Designed to age in place while staying connected to family and neighbourhood, the project treads lightly in every sense.
