Part B - Analysis

Brit Andresen was awarded the RAIA highest honours award for her work both nationally and internationally, the first female to ever receive the award. Her unique concepts of design distinguish her buildings from others. Striving to reach a balance with the natural and built environment. With this attitude in mind from the start of the design process a harmonious building is grown from the landscape whether it be nestled amongst native hardwoods on a cliff overlooking the ocean, a residential suburb or open rolling hills.

The Mooloomba house is a tribute to this as it not only frames the outside views, but draws them in so that wherever you are in the house, you feel as though you are still amongst the outside world. It has a very natural feel with such openess and a natural flow very fitting of the oceanside location.
