Bank Street House: Prior Barraclough

Come along to Walsh Street for a talk exploring Bank Street House with Michael Barraclough and Dennis Prior of Prior Barraclough. This residence is a compact family home in Northcote shaped by a desire to give more space back to garden, landscape and outdoor family life. Replacing a large two-storey dwelling with a smaller single-storey footprint, the project opens the site to a more generous relationship with planting, sunlight and the shared life of the cul-de-sac. A large habitable green roof further extends this landscape, allowing the house to read as part of the garden itself.⁠

Bank Street House has been shortlisted for the 2026 Victorian Architecture Awards in the Residential Architecture – Houses (New) category.
