2024 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Seven Colourful Little Houses
These seven little houses form an island of vibrancy and delight amid the beige sea of suburban Faringdon. Seven beautiful colours create variety and individuality and are carried through to the interiors with stylish and playful effect. These simple homes with their alternating floorplans and gable forms are also quietly inventive, right down to the cast concrete picket fences in the front yards. Inspired by the vernacular of DOC huts and rural sheds, these remarkably affordable houses show, with a little imagination, how to achieve a lot with a little – a valuable lesson for all.
