This project seeks to understand the ways in which a house can act to mediate and orchestrate an encounter with a powerful view.
Recalling earlier experiences of landscapes, and particularly sea-cliffs in southern Tasmania, we have proposed a kind of ‘landscape interior’ that holds the view between two mezzanine ‘cliffs’. This strategy results in an increased wall length internally, thereby also increasing the potential for engagement with more discrete oblique views over the Derwent River and wider cityscape.

Taylor and Hinds Architects
Taylor and Hinds is an award winning Tasmanian based architecture practice, which was formed by Poppy Taylor and Mat Hinds in 2013.
Poppy Taylor
With 15 years of Industry experience, Poppy has been involved in number of high-quality private sector tourism, heritage and residential projects. In 2011 Poppy received the AIA Tasmanian Chapter Emerging Architect Prize. Her acute sensibility as a practitioner is defined by her capacity to clearly communicate spatial ideas and to understand the technical means by which ideas are made into built outcomes.
Mat Hinds
Mat received his architectural education in both Tasmania and abroad, and registered as an Architect in Tasmania in 2011. In 2018 he was awarded the Tasmanian Emerging Architects Prize for his contribution to the profession.
He has a nuanced and technically astute architectural mind, and seeks sensitive, rigorous and affordable design outcomes. He has held teaching and associate lecturing and examiner positions at the University of Tasmania for over a decade, and has taught in a number of institutions internationally.
Ken Beheim-Schwarzbach
A Berliner, and now resident Australian, Ken brings extensive international and construction procurement experience to the practice. He possesses a quiet, thorough and determined design-mind, which is able to resolve complex technical requirements into an aesthetic of clarity, attuned to human experiences and functional needs.
