{168. CONNECTION TO THE EARTH}
Extending a home on the East Coast of Lutruwita/Tasmania where the water is pristine and the rugged coastline speaks. We’re excited to be working with
and , using Daniel Robertson Hawthorn bricks, made locally in Longford, chosen for their resilience and warmth. Clay of thisplace, emerging from the very ground it’s made from.
This project draws on observations of the local vernacular, reinterpreting what’s already here. The new in dialogue with the old. It’s about continuity, about material as memory, grounded in Country.

We’re deep in a few alt & adds projects at the moment, which has us reflecting on the nuances of working with existing structures—how they guide, inform, and enrich the design process.
Some notes from past projects.
Case studies coming soon.

We would like to thank and the judges for the Commended Award, recognising Mapleton House as one of the final six from an esteemed 15 international shortlists in the AR House Awards 2024. The jury praised the project’s “careful handling of a ‘telescoping’ viewpoint on a hillside site near Sunshine Coast, allowing the house’s occupants to ‘absorb the cityscape and terraced landscapes below’ while sharing those views with the public.” ⁠

"The AR House awards are diverse and wide-ranging, often branching beyond the traditional remit of the dwelling. AR House recognises originality and excellence in the design of dwellings of all types, budgets and locations.⁠"⁠

Thank you Kirsty Volz for the insightful text in the latest Dec/Jan issue of The Architectural Review magazine.⁠

Thanks to all of our collaborators and the client, whose work and support made this project possible:⁠⁠⁠
