A catalogue of architecturally interesting homes for sale.
A design survey of the market, examining the houses worth noticing, the ideas that give them value, and the changes that could carry them forward.
Architecture does not disappear when a house enters the market.
It becomes a listing: reduced to photographs, floor area, room counts and price.
Listed Architecture looks beyond that information. Each house is studied through its site, plan, light, proportion, material character and relationship to the landscape. We consider what makes the architecture valuable, where later decisions have weakened it, and how thoughtful intervention could improve the house without erasing what made it distinctive.
The result is an evolving catalogue of houses for sale across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, EU and beyond.

Recently listed
A selected catalogue of houses currently on the market. Each entry includes the architectural history of the house, the qualities that give it value, and a considered design direction for its next chapter.
How we read a house
Every entry in the catalogue is written through the same five-part editorial system. It is applied consistently, whether the house needs stewardship or substantial work.
The Read
The architectural argument.
Why the house belongs in the catalogue, considered within its history, location and current condition.
Design DNA
The qualities worth preserving.
Site, light, proportion, plan, materiality, detail, landscape and the ideas that make the house distinct.
Rethink
The unresolved opportunity.
Changes to the plan, sequence, materials or later interventions that could be reconsidered.
The Edit
A specific design direction.
Sometimes restrained. Sometimes substantial. Always grounded in the architecture already present.
The Standard
The principle behind the intervention.
Preserve the DNA. Edit for modern life.
Selection is based on architecture, not price.
Some houses enter the catalogue because they remain remarkably intact. Others have exceptional bones beneath years of changes. Some are already highly resolved and require little more than stewardship.
They may be modest or expansive, recognised or overlooked, move-in ready or in need of substantial work. What connects them is the presence of an architectural idea worth understanding and preserving.
A considered selection, delivered periodically.
The Listed Edit brings together new catalogue entries, houses worth watching and shorter observations on residential architecture currently on the market.
Submit a house
Listed Architecture considers architecturally interesting homes currently offered for sale. Submissions may include recognised works, overlooked modern houses, unusually intact period homes, or properties where the original architectural idea remains visible beneath later changes.
Please include the listing link, location and any known information about the architect or history of the house.
The standard behind the catalogue.
Listed Architecture is an editorial project by Uncommon Standard, a residential design studio rooted in DNA, consideration and purpose.
The catalogue studies the houses. The studio applies the same judgement to residential design: understanding what gives a home its character, protecting what matters, and editing the rest with precision.
