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.

Maleny House Motif
I created the Maleny House motif over 6 months of experimentation. The fours squares represent the Hadley's - Alex, Nick, Anne and Robert. Coonowrin is the Glass House Mountain prominent in our view. The flowing curve is reminiscent of the shape of the Glass House mountains or a wave in the distant Pacific Ocean or a snake from the aboriginal dreamtime. The two horizontal lines represent the mist that gathers in the valleys below the house in the early morning. The graphic at the bottom of the motif represents water which we can see in the distance and is saved in our tanks for drinking, washing and watering.
