The Art Studio, designed for Mirndiyan Gununa Indigenous Community on Mornington Island, responds effectively to the unique needs of the client and climate. Inspired by the Queenslander house and Lovett Bay House (Richard Leplastrier), it utilizes a flexibility between passive and mechanical cooling, most notably through the use of large uplift polycarbonate doors. As well as providing breezes when open, the doors expand the verandah/interior into a large indoor-outdoor space for the occupants to produce their art and be connected to their surroundings. When closed, the doors act as a visual privacy barrier, a function important to the client, while still allowing diffused light to pass through.
