We hope you enjoyed the insightful tour of Fitzroy Laneway House, a true testament to the artistry and foresight of architect Andrew Child! Andrew’s vision for an architect’s own tiny house that embraces both the present and the future shines through in every corner of this unique dwelling.

Love it! Love it! A real family home, designed around the family and the changing needs. With more than a nod to the tradition and indeed the Fitzroy vibe, the use of materials in an honest and direct way shines through. It is one of those places that even as a visitor you would fell instantly at' home' ,The courtyard is literally an oasis of calm and connection. Yep, love this one. Thank you to Andrew for sharing. Appreciated.
A home with a primary bedroom floor with en-suite, separate studio apartment and music studio is not a tiny house by any definition, but it’s extremely well done and with particular care and thought to its surroundings.
Aussies have such beautiful, substantial, and well-designed homes! Love how LP profiles all hail the indigenous peoples and lands on which the home is built upon and how it adds to the spirituality of the home.
The shots highlight individual features but very hard to understand the layout, orientation, or size of the house. I’d love to see how the rooms connect; too many closeups of textured surfaces and…foliage??
It's a thoughtful design, well-executed, and deserves publication for itself, but not as a tiny house. It would surprise me if the architect and designers had anything to do with the use of the word 'tiny' in the title of this post. I think the word tiny was clickbait for people like me who wouldn't have looked at the video or article otherwise. For those who want a clearer picture, the video and article about the house on the Institute of Australian Architects website give a much better understanding of the house and its use than The Local Project post does.
Agree … need to see a floor plan. The arty cinematography is great but leaves you with no idea of how you really use the space, it’s stunning in the detail, but it doesn’t really fully show the space and how each room flows into the next…but hands down stunning.
I have been watching ur channel for long, Every house u show is unique and i learned a lot even though I am not a student of Interior design or Architect. Please can u give a tour of snow/winter home from a cold place.
An architect designs his own home and yet because this is the internet, people feel compelled to criticize. I'm sure his family is quite comfortable and happy with the results. That's what matters in the end
I appreciate the artistic close up zoom shots but there's far too many, very distracting and annoying. Please show braoder shots that last more than 2 seconds so we can actually appreciate the layout and decor of the house. 🍻
Thank you for your land acknowledgement. My condolences to the wurundjeri tribe who were viciously robbed of their ancestral homeland to make way for this colonizers bungalow.
It is on the dark side for me, there is not enough sunlight throughout the property compared to a detached/free-standing home in the area. Good effort but not for everyone.
A beautiful home but the acknowledgement of the Wurundjeri people here rings very hollow. The median price of a 3 bedroom home in Fitzroy is 1.66 million dollars. Indigenous Australians have lived in the area continuously but recent rapid gentrification has seen them displaced to other areas where housing is cheaper.
This is 2 million house I guess. If I had this money. I'd prefer live in ordinary terrace around. Feels much warmer and normal. This house are over designed packed with strange ideas
"We're in Fitzroy", where only incredibly privileged wealthy people get to own their own homes, enjoy the scenery and shops, and live privileged lives. Those of us who were renting there 40 years ago look on in disbelief. The "Provincial" hotel is now a fancy wine bar. It is perverse. Many artists have to live in the outer suburbs, or on the streets. The homeowners live with the homeless nearby. Australia is no longer the land of the lucky and the fair go. When architects start talking about their "brass tap ware" in Fitzroy, ya know things are bad. Perverse wealth inequality.
Is it just me or are majority of the creators they profile white? I feel like there’s barely any BIPOC creators showcased - not in touch with what’s going on in the world at all. Beautiful projects though
This beautiful, intimate, even cozy house is what great architecture is about. Namely creating space in harmony with how it is lived in and where it is settled. Everything is connected at an emotionally granular level. Beautifully done.
It's a small house, with low ceilings but the renovations and addition somehow made it open and sleek. There are many materials used - red brick, white brick, stone floors, timber on walls, tiles, etc - but somehow it all works together. And even a bit of nature is incorporated into the house with well placed windows. A superb execution!
You could put 'tiny' in quotes.... to indicate that the meaning of the word or phrase they surround should be taken to be different from (or, at least, a modification of) that typically associated with it.
Beautiful. Who'd have known that crazy paving could look so right and complement a modern building? Getting rusticity spot on in a modern space. Well done
Probably a nice house, but not sure, I still have no idea what it looks like. The video is a head-spinning kaleidoscope of random house parts without any discernable connection to each other.
