Architects: Stage 1: Maria Gigney/Studio Ilk (2010); Stage 2: Studio Ilk (2023)
Designed by Studio Ilk and Maria Gigney, Queen Street House is a low-budget timber-clad house, constructed with constraints due to its location within a significant heritage area. An economical construction system was used to build this relatively substantial building with limited capital, which lead to the creation of an off-centre pitched roof building. The house has been enjoyed by the family for several years, and the second and final phase of the project is currently underway.
Open: Saturday 11 November 2023, 10 am – 1 pm
Note: This is a shoe-free household.
* On Saturday, 11 November, Open House Hobart ask everyone to observe a minute silence at 11 am for Remembrance Day.

![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.
