Empire House, Forrest - An Architectural Masterpiece

Winner of the Canberra Medallion, the Gene Willsford Award, HIA Project of the Year, and a National Commendation at the 2019 National Architecture Awards, Empire House stands as one of Canberra's most celebrated residential designs.
Set on a generous 941m² block along a beautiful tree-lined street in the prestigious suburb of Forrest, this extraordinary 3 - 4 bedroom residence offers a rare opportunity to own an internationally recognised piece of Australian architecture.
Designed by the acclaimed Melbourne practice Austin Maynard Architects, Empire House reimagines a charming inter-war bungalow through thoughtful, contemporary additions that respect the past while embracing modern living. Rather than demolishing and rebuilding, the architects chose a more considered approach - carefully crafting two elegant pavilions that extend the home into its established garden. The construction itself was tasked to prominent local firm Preferred Builders.
The result is a home that balances heritage character, exceptional craftsmanship, and sustainable design.
A Home Designed for Living
Spanning approximately 233m², the residence unfolds through a series of beautifully connected spaces where old and new architecture meet in quiet harmony.
Highlights include:
*Garden living pavilion with dramatic north-facing roof window and operable louvres capturing winter sun
*Private bedroom pavilion wrapped in exquisite hand-finished white metal shingles
*Original inter-war living room featuring preserved fireplace, picture rails and period detailing
