Program Info
Our Houses returns in 2022 with an exploration of homes designed to accommodate business and life. Learn from the architects and clients behind two intriguing houses that perform these dual purposes.
Brad Swartz, director of Brad Swartz Architects, and his client, industrial designer Henry Wilson, will share the collaborative design process behind Laneway Glass House. This project, in the inner-city suburbs of Sydney, is a new three-storey dwelling where elegant detailing of robust materials creates an industrial luxury that strikes a balance between studio and home.
Antony Martin, founder of MRTN Architects, will present House for Eva and Matilda, alongside his client, Eva, founder and CEO of The Centre for Multicultural Program Evaluation. This clever design, tucked into a Melbourne laneway, combines the main residence, a studio apartment and a shopfront office on a site of just 88 square metres.
Brad Swartz established his architecture practice Brad Swartz Architects in late 2015, following the completion of his highly accoladed Darlinghurst Apartment project.
His background in high-end residential projects with some of Australia’s top design firms taught him a systematic approach, giving him a solid understanding of intelligent space planning and a purposeful approach to materiality.
Sydney-based designer Henry Wilson designs furniture, lighting, accessories and components, working with a range of suppliers and manufacturers – he has built a close relationship with a local foundry for cast elements in bronze and aluminium. He sells his work directly and presents in several design showrooms around the world. Additionally, he has designed the interior for two Aesop stores in Sydney.
Antony Martin's Melbourne-based practice, MRTN Architects, has taken on a variety of interesting projects, including transformative renovations and stylish shops, and new homes in the city and country.
Antony is closely involved in all projects and has over 15 years’ experience working as an architect in Australia and the United States. He has been fortunate to work on significant buildings such as the Melbourne Museum, the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, and the Australian Pavilion in Shanghai for the World Expo.
