Tiny homes up for grabs in Melbourne for petite prices with launch of Nestd

Here are some of Victoria’s most eye-catching finalists in the Residential Design and Residential Decoration categories.

“Brighton Homestead” by Robson Rak Architects and Interior Designers

This homestead is every kid’s dream.

The Brighton property features a play room with a spiral slide and big hammock hanging from the roof.

According to its AIDA entry, the “significant homestead” has been “lovingly restored and upgraded to create an inner-city oasis for a busy young family”.

“This house is sophisticated, but also connects with child’s play and mindset,” the entry said.

Other features include a vast open-plan living zone, a pool and tennis court.

“The Peak” by Grimshaw

This tiny house is small in stature, with a 32.5sq m footprint, but big in cleverness.

Its kitchen, bathroom, laundry, bedroom and couch are all integrated into one “cube-shaped pod”.

The affordable pad — designed for “Nestd”, a branch of Melbourne youth homelessness charity Kids Under Cover — can also be tailored and relocated.

It features a palette of natural colours and sustainable finishes.

“Foreshore House” by Venn Architects

A room with internal windows looking into a bright blue pool is an eye-catching feature of “Foreshore House”.

The pad draws inspiration from its “urban coastal location”, according to its AIDA entry, to feature a warm interior and an exterior that stands up to the “exposed elements of its location”.

“Arc Side” by Jolson

A work-of-art spiral staircase is sure to catch the eye in this bayside home.

The three-level property was original designed by another architectural firm, Cocks Carmichael, in 2004.

Jolson then substantially redesigned it, while retaining elements of the original front facade, to meet its owners’ changed needs.

“Fitzroy Terrace” by Taylor Knights

This finalist is the result of an “intricate reworking” of a rundown double-storey terrace in the “gritty northern fringes of Fitzroy”, its AIDA entry says.

A “complex interplay of opposites” including lightness and heaviness, and rawness and refinement, characterises the interior.
