Inside this Issue
Cabbage Tree House
Peter Stutchbury Architecture
Peter Stutchbury Architecture
Emerging from the hillside, Cabbage Tree House by Peter Stutchbury Architecture is a built manifestation of place, whose purpose is to heighten the understanding and emotional experience of the land that informs the architecture.
Wanaka House
Fearon Hay
Fearon Hay
Ringed by the mountains surrounding the Lake Wanaka basin, encircled by a concrete perimeter wall, and cloaked by perforated steel shutters, Fearon Hay’s Wanaka House is defined by the layered interaction between a series of concentric forms and spaces.
Edgars Creek
Breathe Architecture
Breathe Architecture
In an urban context, connection between the land, people, and the buildings they inhabit is often lost. Edgars Creek House by Breathe Architecture is a rare example of a home whose design offers a reconnection with the essential qualities of a landscape almost entirely superseded by the encroaching built environment.
Scandizzo House
Kennon+
Kennon+
Scandizzo House by Kennon+ reflects architect Pete Kennon’s exploration of the relationship between architecture, memory and identity, and how, throughout life, one’s sense of self and sense of places of personal significance become indelibly linked.
McNamara House
Tom Robertson Architecture
Tom Robertson Architecture
An original Federation-era home in the Melbourne suburb of Malvern East hides a low-lying addition by Tom Robertson Architects. In contrast to the stately, formal original building, the new design of the McNamara House is contemporary and welcoming, and where the old emphasises grandeur and adornment, the new is defined by a pared-back approach.
Glebe House
Chenchow Little
Chenchow Little
Just as the sculptor’s hands push against the clay to give it form, the planning and spatial constraints of the distinctive wedge-shaped site in the Sydney suburb of Glebe became the formative pressure through which Chenchow Little Architects devised the Glebe House.
