The second examplar house I choose was St. Lucia House by Elizabeth Watson Brown (Elizabeth Watson Brown and Peter Skiner Architect).
“In the striking St Lucia house the verandah is moved inside in
the sense that its principal volume – the large kitchen / dining /
living / deck space – is elevated (a piano nobile) and overlooks
a garden courtyard through high operable north-facing windows
shaded by mature trees and roof overhangs. The interlocking
five level house (slab floors, pine-framed walls, sheet finished)
rises from teenage bedrooms at courtyard level to a poolside
family room, the central living space and parents’ bedroom, and
concludes in a bridge-like study loft.” (Architecture Australia
Nov/Dec 2000)
This is an executed architectural project designed jointly by Peter Skinner and Elizabeth Watson-Brown in 1997, and built in 1998 at 3 Hiron Street, St Lucia. It was highly awarded by the RAIA in 2000, and from 2000-2008 has been published, analysed and exhibited in Australia and internationally, and frequently visited by distinguished architects and academics. As ever, the fundamental design research question is: “ How should we build, at this time, in this place?” and the response is multivalent.
The following are some references and website I found from UQ, which talked deeply about the house.
