BOOKINGS OPEN 12 NOON AEDT, THURSDAY 6 OCTOBER, 2022
Architect: Unknown (1940s) David Button (2020)
This small upper level addition spanning above a 1940s cottage provides a day room and deck with access to sunlight from sunrise to sunset. This beach house captures the spirit of a coastal holiday shack with its informal interior and vertical black-stained external timber cladding and white painted timber window frames. The use of local, reused and sustainable materials together with good insulation, high performance glazing, winter solar gain and summer sun shading were all pragmatic requirements.

![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.
