Sited amongst the leafy suburb of Wattle Park, the MCCA House is a family home that redefines the colonial dwelling vernacular to deliver a house fit for a young family, put simply to “Make Colonial Cool Again”. A house previously constrained by a dysfunctional arrangement of private and public spaces, the MCCA House brings common public areas together and separates private areas to accommodate a more comfortable living arrangement for both parents and children.
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.
