JUST TURN UP, NO BOOKINGS REQUIRED!
Architect: AKA Architects (2020)
Arguably the most picturesque playing ground in the country, Kelvedon Park’s pavilion stretches long and low between pitch and water. Its height and form are carefully minimised to soften visual impact on neighbours, while transparency offers layered views over and through to the river beyond. The understated design frames the landscape rather than competing with it, creating a building that feels both grounded and open.
Open: Saturday 8 November, TBC

![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.
