Garden House

Melbourne

Louise Wright This holiday house is conceived as just a little more than a tent: a deck and raised platform are covered by a transparent 'shed', the interior perimeter 'veranda' is garden space. The soil and natural ground line are maintained and carried through. A low lying site with terrestrial orchids and lillies, flood waters seasonally move through the site unimpeded. Similarly the indigenous vegetation has begun to grow inside. The owners like the idea that, like a tent, once unbolted, it would be as if it were never there.
