Tour | Canberra Open Homes | House on a Path | Joanna Nelson Architect

Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of one of the award-winning houses from the 2024 Australian Institute of Architects, ACT Architecture Awards, House on a Path. A 1970s house on an experimentally planned suburban site in Canberra has been reorganised and reoriented through 2 precisely placed but loosely programmed additions to ‘front’ and ‘rear’. Japanese influences are evident in the original house and courtyard and Radburn planning principles in the battleaxe block – the unfenced ‘front’ boundary is to a public pedestrian path while the ‘rear’ driveway leads to the street. The principal architectural idea is to amplify these distinctive attributes while providing legible entries and introducing circular routes.
