The Boathouse celebrates the experience of living on the water’s edge, offering sanctuary and protection from the wild weather that blows in from the sea. In this edge condition, it offers prospect and refuge while carefully orchestrating levels of privacy from the northern approach and public walkway to the south. Clearly visible from all sides, the building was conceived as a sculpted object in the landscape; an envelope formed to create a sequence of crafted experiential moments, moulded to the specific contextual and climatic conditions of its place.
Tours: Sunday 13 November, 10 am, 10.30 am, 11 am, 11.30 am, 12 pm, 12.30 pm and 1 pm
Duration: 20 minutes
Accessibility: On street parking in nearby Paloona Street and walk to the house via Derwent Ave (135). The house is step free, however there is a moderately steep driveway access without handrail.

![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.
