On Saturday night Trella was awarded three awards for North Wright Compact Housing at the 2026 Australian Institute of Architects ACT Awards.

We’re proud to see the project recognised with:

- Award for Multi Residential Housing
- The Derek Wrigley Award for Sustainable Architecture
- The inaugural Missing Middle Prize

For us, this recognition speaks to something bigger than a single project.

North Wright was designed to show that compact housing can still feel generous, grounded and deeply liveable. That density does not need to come at the expense of light, landscape, privacy or everyday comfort.

A real credit to our clients, collaborators and the many people who helped bring it to life.

Free open homes this Sunday 11am -2pm for Sustainable House Day.

The North Wright Sustainable Precinct display homes will be open to showcase how compact, sustainable and affordable housing can work beautifully on smaller blocks, with passive solar design, 7.2 to 8.9 Star NatHERS performance, airtight envelopes, heat recovery ventilation systems and low-carbon materials.

Entries from the Australian Zero Carbon Housing Challenge will also be on exhibition.

If you’d like to see practical examples of low to net-zero carbon housing in person, this is a great opportunity.

Flashback to a thoughtful upgrade of a 1960s home enhancing natural light, improving functionality, and strengthening its connection to the garden. Guided by mid‑century modern and Japanese design principles, the project introduced modest extensions and passive improvements to create a calm, light‑filled home that stays true to its modernist roots.

Norwood Park’s new facility thoughtfully integrates modern office spaces with deep respect for existing heritage, creating a serene, non denominational environment that welcomes all and fosters inclusivity and reflection. Featuring elegant, subtle finishes with a calming feel, the interiors embody contemporary design while remaining sensitive to the site’s legacy. Carefully considered architecture and interior design enhance community connection and provide spaces of care that are both modern and respectful.

The building emphasises its unique context with large picture windows framing mountain vistas, while its orientation maximises solar exposure. Materials honour local traditions, and Environmental Sustainable Design principles are embedded through energy efficient plant equipment, a 30 kW solar installation, and on site water retention systems. Together, these elements establish a facility that balances beauty, sustainability, and thoughtful design.

Elyse is one of those designers who sees space differently. Give her a tricky floor plan or a half-formed idea and she’ll find the logic, unlock the flow and turn it into something that feels effortless. Problem solving is her happy place, and she works closely with clients to shape interiors that feel grounded and intentional… usually with a trail of material samples on her desk

Quickfire with Elyse:
𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲: Senior Interior Designer
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀: Problem‑solving, spatial planning and seeing ideas become real
𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: A to‑do list and an imagination that refuses to sit still
𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Timber — now and forever
𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆: Thoughtful planning first, seamless delivery always
𝗨𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁: A Jill‑of‑all‑trades who’s as comfortable on the tools as she is at the design table

Beach Escape is anchored by its coastal setting, responding with a clear, robust architectural language suited to salt air, wind and bushfire conditions. The palette is deliberately humble and durable, giving the home a calm and contemporary presence in South Durras.

Two pavilions sit lightly on the site, connected by an elevated deck and angled to capture northern light and frame long views to the water. The roofline lifts and folds to echo the movement of the coastline without competing with it.

Spotted gum battens wrap through the entry, drawing you up through the stair and toward a framed view of the beach beyond. Inside, concrete blockwork, timber and steel create a palette that is honest, robust and comfortable to live with.

And yes, the surfboard letterbox is very real.
If you’re dreaming of a coastal escape with a bit of personality, we’d love to talk.

A glimpse into our interiors process.

Material studies like these help us explore tone, texture and light long before a space is built. It’s where the character of a project begins to take shape, guided by the form and planning already in place.

Behind every Trella interior is this moment of testing materials, balancing palettes and refining the decisions that shape how a space will feel. We look for the contrast, texture and tone that express the intent of the design and support the people who will use the space every day.

Across projects, the palettes shift. Some are quiet and nuanced, others are bolder and more expressive. All are built with intention, with considered colour, tactility and a clear understanding of how materials contribute to a space that feels grounded, contemporary and genuinely lived in.
