By Weaver + Co
This new house in Melbourne’s western suburbs links the front garden, open veranda, ground floor living and courtyard garden together. Controlled views through the house connect to street-life and the park beyond. Forms and materials take cues from surrounding context while carefully articulated planning and details provide a contemporary response for family life.

Weaver + Co is an emerging Melbourne-based architecture practice, founded by Martyn Weaver with the aim of creating built environments shaped by light and natural rhythms; spaces that celebrate our everyday habits and emotions; architecture that deeply engages with the environment, people and how they connect. The practice provides architectural and interior design services, from design through to construction, with a focus on residential projects.
Our approach is open and collaborative, bringing together budget, brief, process and people. Our designs are characterised by the use of geometry, colour and proportion to solve problems. We often design with light and shadow to create more meaningful connections with the natural environment. The more poetic elements of design are combined with a focus on sustainability and energy performance through Martyn’s accreditation as a Certified Passive House Designer.
