Austin Maynard Architects completes Terracotta House in Melbourne
Terracotta tiles and reclaimed bricks clad the walls and roofs of this house in an inner suburb of Melbourne, which Austin Maynard Architects designed for a keen gardener.
The owner of Terracotta House approached Austin Maynard Architects to help her create independent homes on a shared lot for herself and her son's family.
Top: the home is comprised of three volumes. Above: it is accessed via an alleyway
Located in the Fitzroy area of Melbourne, the site consisted of a cottage and a garden large enough to accommodate a second property along with a shared library pavilion.
The project involved renovating the existing street-facing cottage where the son's family now live, as well as building a new house for the client with independent access to a laneway at the rear of the site.
Terracotta tiles and recycled brick were used for the facade
In between the two buildings is a shared, productive garden that was a key element of the brief. This space also houses a library building that can be used for guest accommodation.
"Terracotta House is, essentially, a communal-living family 'compound' – akin to a village square, with the owner and her son's family living individually in homes on a shared block," said Austin Maynard Architects.
"As an architecture practice we always aim to maximise space, relate internal spaces to the garden, embrace the street and make the most of laneways," the studio added. "The site that [the client] Belinda purchased offered potential to achieve all of these ideas and more."
Two volumes are joined by a glass corridor
The existing timber-clad Victorian worker's cottage was renovated to retain its original character whilst making it better suited to modern living.
The interior was rearranged to bring the kitchen, lounge and dining areas to the front of the house so they look onto the north-facing garden and the street.
Recycled brick was used for the interiors
Internal walls were removed to improve circulation, with the new layout enhancing the connection with the front garden and verandah. A new kitchen and bathroom were installed, with private areas – including the bedrooms – moved to the rear of the house.
The library pavilion is positioned on the western boundary of the site and looks onto the shared garden. It incorporates a laundry space and toilet, along with a versatile room that is used as a library, guest room, writer's studio, music room and social area.
Terracotta tiling clads an interior wall
The new-build Terracotta House is positioned at the rear of the site and spans the entire width of the plot. It contains a kitchen, dining area, living room, bathroom and a study on the ground floor, with the main bedroom and ensuite upstairs.
The house is comprised of compact and connected volumes, planned to optimise the available outdoor space. The building's orientation and roof form maximise exposure to light and views.
The house's materiality was informed by the owner's love of gardening and the terracotta pots she used to grow plants in at her previous home.
Terracotta tiles applied to the walls and roofs appear to take on different tones throughout the day. Their colour and texture complement the reclaimed brick used for other sections of the external walls and garden planters.
Double doors lead from the library to the garden
Due to a limited budget, utilitarian features such as waterproofing details that would typically be concealed are instead left exposed and are celebrated through an unusual material treatment.
"Rather than hiding the flashings and capping, we accentuated them," the architects explained. "Like the thick outlines of a comic book, each form is captured within lines of black steel of various thicknesses, framing and accentuating the tiles and the recycled brick."
The home has a large garden at the centre
The entrance from the laneway connects to a paved corridor that leads straight through to the garden. This hallways provides a sightline through the building that links it to the street and the community.
The kitchen and dining area are positioned to one side of the corridor, with the living room on the other. Both spaces feature doors that can be opened to connect the interior with the garden.
A passsageway between the volumes leads to the gardens
Terracotta tiles and reclaimed bricks are also used inside the house, where they form part of a pared-back material palette that also includes wooden surfaces and concrete flooring.
Wallpapers designed by indigenous artists for local firm Willie Weston are used in the kitchen and lounge to provide a sophisticated and delicate contrast to the raw, exposed brickwork.
The existing home is located at the rear of the site
Melbourne-based studio Austin Maynard Architects works across residential, retail and commercial projects – adopting a conceptual approach that responds to issues such as liveability, culture, heritage and community connection.
The studio is based out of founder Andrew Maynard's home, which was renovated to create an exceptionally bright space that helps the mental well-being of its occupants.
The practice's previous projects include an extension to a residential terrace in Melbourne featuring a zig-zagging roof and a cylindrical wooden beach house in Victoria, Australia.

From Michael Milford, PhD
Dear Friend,
It’s
a hard fact – math is an important life skill, but many people struggle
with it. Most of the time, this isn’t their fault – math is
quite challenging when it’s taught the way it is nowadays in schools,
colleges, courses and textbooks. It’s even harder when you have to go
back and relearn math as an adult.
But it doesn’t have to be like this
Imagine
being able to really understand even the most challenging math topics.
When you understand what you’re doing, math actually becomes enjoyable
to do.
When
you understand the key math concepts and ideas, you succeed in math
exams because you can adapt and adjust to the problems in the exam
being different to what you’ve done in practice.
On the
other hand, if you just rote learn what your teacher, lecturer or
textbook tells you, you’ll struggle to get a good grade. Memorizing
topics may work in geography or history, but it sure doesn’t work in
math.
Imagine the satisfaction you’d get from seeing your math abilities improving and your grades getting better and better.
Now you can get great grades and enjoy math because you actually understand it.
I’ve
done a lot of the work for you. If you put in the effort to read the
math tutorials I have prepared, you’ll be much better prepared to
understand mathematical topics. Introducing…
gives you 900 pages jam packed full of easy to understand math tutorials to make math easy and interesting to learn.
