SHORE PATROL

摘要

This latest in a series of elegant, minimal, object houses by Sean Godsell is a further speculation on the potential of an Australian vernacular that relates more explicitly to Asian regionalism than European historicism. Spare of form and clad in gridded skin of industrial grating, it has clear echoes of previous Godsell projects, such as the Kew House, the Carter Tucker House (AR Dec 2000) and the Peninsula House (AR Dec 2002), in which simple Miesian volumes are wrapped in a light and heat diffusing layer of slatted timber or metal.
