The property market is something Aussies spend more time thinking about than they’d like to admit to, but everyone knows not all homes are created equal. Here at On The Market, we scour countless property listings to share the best of the best, from palatially proportioned waterfront palaces to meticulously designed studio apartments.
Poised on the ridgeline of Sunrise Beach, The Gable House ticks all the boxes of a multi-generational coastal retreat. Spacious, light-filled, and with uninterrupted views of the waters below, it’s a study in Australian coastal modernism that’s recently been reimagined by Owen Architecture.
The gable roof, preserved VJ panelling, and exposed beams anchor the home in its modernist lineage, while custom timber casements, Sareva stone, and Endicott paving remind you that you’re on one of Australia’s most celebrated coastlines.
Inside, handmade INAX tiles, honed stone, and aged brass are just a few of the thoughtfully considered details, while outside, you’ll find a sun-drenched terrace, outdoor fireplace, a heated magnesium pool, and layered coastal gardens that complete the home

Brisbane residents will be more than used to seeing colossal, marble-clad mansions in the city’s most affluent neighbourhoods, but now and then, a genuinely interesting expression of contemporary Queensland architecture will hit the market.
Designed by award-winning architect Dan Sparks, the home unfolds across four interconnected levels that all enjoy sweeping views across Hamilton Hill to Newstead, the city and Mt Coot-tha.
Native timbers, concrete, and glass form a bold, industrial language, with living zones that spill out to a 13m infinity lap pool and layered terraces. With a custom lift, mezzanine master suite and a self-contained guest wing, the home is a low-maintenance yet deeply considered piece of architectural theatre in one of Brisbane’s most coveted riverfront enclaves.

Housed within the Shepherd & Newman printing factory (originally constructed around 1902), this converted apartment captures the spirit of a Soho loft with soaring ceilings, exposed brick and heavy timber beams that give the space some serious architectural presence.
There is expansive glazing on three sides that floods the 103sqm interior with light and air, while the open plan layout is deliberately fluid.
A sculpted stone island anchors the kitchen, offset by industrial textures and refined finishes and above, a shared rooftop terrace frames city panoramas. Situated perfectly near a plethora of cafés, parks, and transport, this is premium inner-Sydney living with an undeniable architectural pedigree.
