Serving as the genesis of the partnership between Brian Donovan and Timothy Hill, the 1991 commission for the C House marks a pivotal moment in the history of Donovan Hill Architects. This project laid the foundation for the partnership and established one of Queensland’s most celebrated architecture practices. Their innovative approach to civic-minded architecture propelled them to national acclaim, with Donovan Hill becoming the most nationally awarded practice in Australia during the mid-2000s.
The Australian Institute of Architects acknowledges First Nations peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters, and skies of the continent now called Australia.
We express our gratitude to their Elders and Knowledge Holders whose wisdom, actions and knowledge have kept culture alive.
We recognise First Nations peoples as the first architects and builders. We appreciate their continuing work on Country from pre-invasion times to contemporary First Nations architects, and respect their rights to continue to care for Country.
