Backwood House | Victoria
We are a bespoke, design-focused architecture practice founded by architect Alex English. Based in Anglesea on Victoria’s Surf Coast, we draw from the rhythm of the landscape — creating spaces that are calm, elemental, and deeply attuned to place.
​
Our work aspires to a quiet richness, where architecture and environment exist in thoughtful balance. Guided by light, material integrity, and spatial clarity, we craft built expressions that are both refined and grounded — shaped by context, lived experience, and careful observation.
​
We thrive in projects that engage with sensitive or environmentally significant sites — a focus honed through years of collaboration with councils, shires, and consultants known for their rigorous environmental standards. This depth of experience allows us to navigate regulatory complexity with precision, care, and creativity.
While many of our projects are located along the Surf Coast,
we continue to work across Victoria. We welcome all enquiries.
