My-House is Austin Maynard’s home. It is also the office of Austin Maynard Architects. His family lives upstairs, whilst the studio occupies the shopfront downstairs. The kitchen, dining and garden are shared between Maynard’s family and the AMA team between 9am and 5pm.

 

My-House is an experiment that Austin Maynard lives in. It is a home that he dare not impose on his clients. It breaks many important rules, often not in a good way. My-House lets in sunlight where a house should not. Whilst it is a very sustainable home, My-House is not as thermally efficient as the homes the architect design for others. Issues of privacy and personal comfort are often challenged in My-House. It is for these reasons that he also love it.
