This blog is a photographic diary of the building of our house in Maleny, Queensland, Australia. The architects for the job were Bark Design, the principals being Steve Guthrie and Lindy Atkins and the project co-ordinator was Phil Tillotson. The builder was Nathan Quail of Quail Constructions at Maleny. The project was completed in December 2009. It is simply an extraordinary house that is a pleasure to live in.

Studio room - Japan red plywood conversation piece
The rusty red sheet of ply in an otherwise perfect plywood box is a reference to the Japanese aesthetic concept of 'Wabi-Sabi' which is imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. (See Wabi-Sabi: for artists, Designers, Poets and Philosophers by Leonard Koren). The Japanese word for rust is also pronounced sabi. SG
