Canopy House, Melbourne

This newly completed Canopy House designed by Auhaus Architecture is a sleek, double-storey home designed with a compact footprint to suit its metropolitan block.

The ground floor living spaces extend seamlessly into the garden, while a garage and second living area are positioned to one side, enclosing a private side courtyard.

A soaring 3.6m-high living room flows onto a side-facing deck, sheltered beneath a deep battened canopy. The material palette balances handcrafted brickwork with refined timber battening, creating a tactile contrast that enhances the home's architectural character.

Inside, a timeless neutral palette is finished with Sussex taps, Scala mixer in brushed nickel, Kaskade Bonn basin and Neolith bench tops.
