The 2024 NGV Architecture Commission offers a compelling vision for alternative homebuilding in Australia. Home Truth, designed by architecture and design studio Breathe, is an installation that prompts reflection on how small-scale architecture can foster more sustainable, higher-quality and community-oriented living environments. Home Truth comprises an external house frame that represents the oversized silhouette of the average Australian home. Nestled inside the silhouette is a quiet, reflective timber volume that depicts the footprint of a smaller-scale house.
