A Personal Architecture
What happens when you design a home around the way you want to live?
Step inside a house that is as much a reflection of its owners as it is a piece of architecture. Designed by the Blichfeldts themselves, with assistance from an American architect, the home grew from their ideas, interests and experience.
Look closely and you’ll discover traces of the owners throughout the house. An engineering background has influenced the way the home is conceived and put together, while an original painting by Edith Emery in the front hall adds another personal layer to the story.
Hear directly from the owners as they share the ideas, influences and decisions behind their home, and discover how a house can become a deeply personal expression of the people who live in it.
Come and have a look, hear the story and explore a home designed from the inside out.
Open: Sat 7 Nov, 12.30pm – 2.30pm (requires booking)

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
