Brisbane-based architects Owen and Vokes maintain a remarkably rigorous aesthetic in all their projects, using a palette of natural wood, vertically laid white tile, and louvered windows. According to the architects, "We have a preference for making plain buildings with humble materials, that are free of mannerism; we value traditional architectural practice and building methods." The firm has also designed a "crisp, elegant, and functional" White House series for prefab company Happy Haus. Here are a few highlights from the firm's portfolio:
