In this Talking Houses video, Jesse Bennett and Anne Marie Campagnolo reflect on their remarkable first home together, Planchonella House. Built by themselves amid the thick humidity of north Queensland summers, Planchonella House is “a labour of love fuelled by rebellion against the ordinary.”
Planchonella House was awarded Australian House of the Year in 2015. For the Talking Houses: The decade’s best video series, the past winners of the prestigious award were each invited to create a video that shares the stories, ideas and experience of living in each of their award-winning homes.
The video series reflects the vibrant milieu of Australian residential design and will reveal the unique character of each practice.
The 2020 Houses Awards is presented by Architecture Media and supported by Cult, Allegion, Artedomus, Blum, Bosch, Brickworks, the Heritage Council of Victoria, Sussex, and Taubmans.
Winners will be announced in an online celebration on 31 July. More details will be available on the Houses Awards website.
