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 […]
THE BLUNT HOUSE
Triptych comprises 3 major works in one location. The Main House, or Blunt House, The Pulmonum, and The Glass House. Each work responds to its specific location and its relationship to the whole architectural choreography. At the Main House Room 11’s intuitive response to place was to look towards the expanse of Norfolk Bay. Once […]

The gentle light within the house beautifully touches […]

D’ENTRECASTEAUX HOUSE
Replete with devastating panoramas, Apollo Bay, on Bruny Island finds itself nonetheless exposed. Winds buffet the angled terrain and so we devised a high walled courtyard to protect the inner workings of this home. The house employs an inflected non-orthogonal plan where massive stone walls encompass living spaces which are enriched by the resultant spatial […]
LONGLEY HOUSE
An exacting house for exacting clients – The home is a slim black clad building tucked beneath the apex of a ridge on an expansive rural site in Lower Longley. From the interior to the north the curve line of the opposing ridge is framed. This line eventually makes its way towards the Derwent Estury’s Northwest Bay to the East. The […]
GASP – STAGE 2
GASP stage two is the penultimate gesture of the Glenorchy Art and Sculpture Park (GASP!) . It is composed of architecture that responds to the scale of the surrounding landform. Blunt forms frame and command the superlative Tasmanian landscape. Colour and architecture have been used as a vehicle for re-evaluation and re-appreciation of place. The re-forming […]
