In the design of their own home on the Sunshine Coast, Dan and Margo Sparks relished the chance to investigate sustainable design and construction. Dan looks back on the lessons they learnt about efficient, small-scale living.

Wilson Beach House on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast offers an enduring example of elegant and expressive Australian design.

Responding to a ridgeline that runs west across the gully, this Brisbane home designed by Brit Andresen and Peter O’Gorman illustrates the expressive capacity of Australian hardwood timber and creates a visceral connection to the rainforest.

This extraordinarily creative, somewhat bewildering timber-and-tin tower on the slopes of Brisbane’s Eildon Hill has been a labour of love for more than thirty years and was declared finished by the architect Russell Hall, and the client in 2018.
