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, Timber House by Mather Architecture. Timber House showcases how existing buildings with character and charm can be successfully transformed for modern family living. The 62 square metre extension and clever reconfiguration of functional spaces has brought new life to this 1970s home originally designed by Harkin & Ziersch Architects from Melbourne.
Existing features, including timber ceilings and clerestory windows, have been revived and celebrated, with new clerestory windows bringing in additional natural light and a soft illumination to the space. New timber flooring, joinery and ceiling linings result in a delightfully warm and comforting home. Expansive double-glazed windows capture views of the outside and lush vegetation, while drenching the living areas with natural light.
