11.01.2022 The Hobart Convict Penitentiary at Open House Hobart 2019.

06.01.2022 2020 OPEN HOUSE HOBART VIRTUAL TOUR Mount Stuart Greenhouse Architects: @bencemulcahy... Culverden, circa 1900, is a highly crafted Federation Italianate home with an expansive garden. The client stated a desire to live engulfed by the garden and thus, the new addition was conceived as greenhouse. Growing from the existing, traces of the new present themselves by degrees, culminating in the kitchen dining area where the full extent reveals itself. It shares formal characteristics with the existing, a sandstone base, yet is transparent and overtly structural, to capture the gardens proximity and formally setting up a relationship with the existing verandah. Generous volumes capture the scale of the immediate vegetation and views, and crafted details and materials provide continuity of pattern and texture. Natural materials develop patina and contribute to a lived-in space. The Mount Stuart Greenhouse provides a stage for family life connected to the garden and verandah, in a manner complimentary to the quality and craftsmanship of the existing home. Subject to a heritage precinct overlay, it is listed as a heritage place. Removal of existing building fabric was minimised and the overall massing sits comfortably against the existing. Overtly structural, the addition sets up a relationship with the existing verandah, and decorative details and natural materials celebrate the tradition of craftsmanship inherent in the existing home. The addition subtly acknowledges the planning, form and significant characteristics of the existing and celebrates the tradition of craftsmanship inherent in the existing to provide richness and texture to the new. Alterations & additions in 2018 @adam.gibson.photo This year, a number of virtual tours are being offered so you can discover the architecture of Hobart from afar! Mount Stuart Greenhouse virtual tour - Sunday 15 November 1 pm Visit openhousehobart.org for more details and to register, and to see the full program! in bio.
