CHROMA TUNNEL
We see our buildings as part of a particular discussion with place and contemporary culture. A place where the cut of modern thought is starkly rendered against a raw natural context. We see conceptual parallels with great infrastructure projects from Tasmania’s history. These interventions are created through rational thought and are justified by the perceived needs […]
WILD HOUSE
Room11’s Architecture is preoccupied with a desire to propagate connections with place. The experience of the coastal landscape on the site is one of layers; water, sand flat, grasses, tea tree and finally Coastal Eucalyptus forest. The buildings are placed as additional layers, they are transparent where needed and solid when required for refuge. There […]

It is a defined architectural object that makes no pretensions to naturalness – but its every design gesture is imminently decipherable and logical, grounded in and given meaning by the experience it seeks to create. It does not take […]

PINE FLAT LODGE
