25.01.2022 Shaun Lockyer recently coined the phrase "Sympathetic Neglect" in reference to Minjerribah’s (Stradbroke Island's) built culture. Join Shaun and colleagues, Pau...l Butterworth and Justin O'Neill as they have a chat with (**new chair) Sarah Briant of Quirk Architecture about the island-specific evolution in building. 11.30am 12.20pm (AEST), 6 November Online free and live, or in person in the Brisbane City studio. Minjerribah (known as Stradbroke Island) architecture is maturing. Without doubt, a community of island-sensitive architectural crafts people, many now locals, has made an impact. Counterculture, the absence of uber sleek giant spaces, and the honesty and intimacy of smaller timber spaces all articulate Minjerribah's old and new school. Meet the speakers https://brisbaneopenhouse.com.au/design-talks-speakers-sym/

24.01.2022 Such a treat to visit the Rose Seidler House 1950 by Harry Seidler. An incredible icon in Australian home design. I’m so glad that it has been preserved & made accessible to the public. #roseseidlerhouse #sydneylivingmuseums #midcenturymodern #australianarchitecture

23.01.2022 No space left behind: even circulation spaces like the stairs at the #corymbiabeachhouse are design opportunities to express space, material texture & to gain unique views of the landscape. #pbarchitect #straddie by @christopherfrederickjones ... by Henderson Constructions by @architecturaltimber by @astrawalkerofficial by @gamma_illumination @tradewarebuildingsupplies See more

14.01.2022 Every once in a while I like to get back on the ‘tools’ & remind myself what it’s like to crank out a drawing or two by hand. This one of the #honeyworkshouse was inspired by the perspective sketches of my many #modernist heroes. (Apologies landscape format doesn’t really suit IG, but you get the idea...) #pbarchitect #architectsketch

11.01.2022 CAD Model Vs. Built outcome at the #clayfieldfernhouse Pretty darn close we think. (Good job Brendan & crew!)

A completely off-grid 3 bed eco-home in the trees. Grab a copy of issue 54 online or in store for the details. This home was a long time in the making & an important milestone in our practice’s pursuit of #sustainablehouse design. A journey that strongly continues today.

The new powder room & shower was grafted deep within the existing house, the re-used VJ bathroom door retained as a touchstone of the ubiquitous craft skills of the original authors....plus it was free. #pbarchitect... by @rokco_builds by @astrawalkerofficial @wk_quantumquartz @completetiles

06.01.2022 Corymbia is up on Archdaily!

06.01.2022 I had the privilege to briefly stay at The River Room beside Never Never Creek. One of a suite of structures designed by Richard Leplastrier & built by Henk Mulder. A quiet architectural masterclass set in paradise that I won’t forget.

05.01.2022 So very close! A whisker away from completion at #nannygaibeachhouse. We chose a deliberately muted palette of external materials in deference to the colours of the natural landscape & contrast the rich timber textures internally. Plants are on their way! #pbarchitect

05.01.2022 In progress: external cladding going up & looking at #nannygaibeachhouse. Brad Andersen Builder & #straddie crew making a tough job look easy.

05.01.2022 If you’re looking for free architectural advice or design inspiration, I’ll be at The Architect’s Table from 12pm this Saturday, 13th of March at the Reno + Design Show at the Brisbane Showgrounds. Come along & have a chat. No obligation. No worries. I’ll also be on the Experts in Building panel discussion from 11:30am. @renodesignshow #renodesignshow #pbarchitect www.renodesignshow.com.au

02.01.2022 Having cake & eating it too: what to do with a spectacular view? Floor to ceiling glass? A deck? Why not both? Especially when the views are this good! Cylinder Beach in the foreground, Shag Rock & Moorgumpin (Moreton Island) beyond at #nannygaibeachhouse. ... #pbarchitect @hlarchi

02.01.2022 Our recently completed #nannygaibeachhouse at #straddie viewed on arrival from the street. Large sliding doors stack behind walls on both sides to offer an unimpeded view of Cylinder Beach & the Coral Sea beyond. Stunning views are therefore shared (not privatised) with the added bonus of people looking at the view are not distracted by the building. The building therefore acts as a landscape frame & is not mistaken for a centrepiece. The setting is what’s important, & more...over how a beautiful home responds to its setting, as well as being a wonderful place for our clients, their family & friends to enjoy! #pbarchitect by @christopherfrederickjones

01.01.2022 Lighting test looking prior to handover at #nannygaibeachhouse. A huge effort by multiple trades & skilled craftsmen to pull this together. My hat’s off to their dedication & to our wonderful clients Emma & Monty - it’s all yours soon! by builder Brad Andersen. #pbarchitect

01.01.2022 Sneaky guest shower tucked behind the stair at the Corymbia house, #Straddie. The tall volume & dark tiles lit by natural light from above evoke showering in the fissure of a cave. Memorable domestic rituals like this connect people with place & hopefully stay with them long after they leave. #pbarchitect #corymbiabeachhouse
