The program is arranged around an outdoor room located on the Eastern side of the circulation spine. This creates a central court that reveals itself from all areas of the house.
The outdoor room allows Eastern morning light to permeate the rear of the house, with large sliding doors almost 5m in height allow the boundaries of the building envelope to blur with the landscape and allow occupants to enjoy the subtropical climate beyond its walls.
Contemporary abstractions of the traditional Queenslander are revealed through the materiality of the house.
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.
