CARLTON NORTH TERRACE
A two storey extension to an inner city victorian terrace on a spatially constrained site with poor orientation. The extension incorporates European standard passive-house principles and technologies including air tightness, thermally broken timber double glazed windows, high levels of insulation, minimal thermal bridging and heat recovery ventilation.
Remaining of the old part of the terrace house are two bedrooms and a hallway at the end of which is a new tight sealed 'middle door' that opens into the hermetically sealed new addition.
Downstairs is a new bathroom and open plan kitchen, dining, living that opens onto a rear courtyard.
The stair between levels is comprised of three parts - a section of folded steel dangling above the edge of the kitchen benchtop, abutted by a movable stepped storage unit on wheels.
The upstairs is the private domain of the owner - bedroom, ensuite, and a glazed wintergarden positioned between the old and new parts of the house to catch north sun for growing plants and vegetables - and washing and drying clothes.

SWANSEA ACCESSIBLE LOO
A new fully accessible toilet on the main street of Swansea from which a stunning view across Oyster Bay towards the Freycinet Peninsula is afforded (from the sitting position via one way glass). The structure is carefully positioned under a copse of mature eucalypts at the end of an existing lookout deck and directly opposite a pedestrian crossing from the local museum and tourist information centre. The back of the toilet uses the proximity of an existing drystone wall to make a wind protected gathering space for small groups of people - waiting to use the loo, sheltering from the strong nor-easter, or perhaps just hanging out.

SPRING BAY MILL
Spring Bay Mill is a 40 hectare site-wide regeneration of what was once the world's largest wood chipping facility into a culture and environment oriented events venue. The site revolves around 3 new event spaces that have been created in and around remaining buildings and structures from the former industrial operation - the Banksia Room - a 250 seat function space in the former Administration building, The Tin Shed - a 230 seat performance space in the old machine servicing shed, and a large capacity outdoor Amphitheatre (with giant sundial) set in and around the former slew footing. Supporting these event spaces is a new group accommodation building called the Ridge Quarters and a field of glamping tents. Between each of these spaces and places around the site are a series of new pathways and landscapes that connect the parts of the site together and frame particular experiences of the post-industrial regeneration - including around the former Weighbridge that forms part of the new entrance landscaping works.

> THE JOHN LEE ARCHER TRIENNIAL PRIZE
JURY CITATION: 'This project flips the brutal history of its site—from the displacement of the people of the Oyster Bay Nation, to the milling and wood chipping of Tasmania’s old-growth forests—creating a community place which reveals and begins to heal the damage from its past.
Part of a forty-hectare site-wide regeneration, it is sensitive, integrated and considered. True to its promise as a ‘sustainable events venue’, the physical interventions have involved conserving, respecting, and repurposing the existing fabric in lieu of demolition and replacement. Waste is minimised, built insertions are both robust and delicate, and opportunities for landscape retention, regeneration and repair are seized. Extant structures are touched lightly. An entry pavilion is defrocked to expose a skeletal, roofed structure now occupied by landscape; a huge former crane footing has morphed into an amphitheatre; and an administration building is upcycled to create a modest, functional reflection of its earlier self. This is a purposeful, humble stripping back rather than a muscular overlaying of new things, and inherent in this approach is a refreshing, relative absence of architectural ego.
These event spaces comprise an exemplar for sustainability and restorative practice, for the positive repurposing of industrial heritage, conservation of Tasmania’s extraordinary natural environment, and more broadly, for the acknowledgment of history and plotting of a happier path forward.'
