JUST TURN UP, NO BOOKINGS REQUIRED!
Architect: Dock4 Architects (2021)
This renovation to a Federation-era weatherboard residence introduces a new open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining volume articulated by a laminated timber triangulated roof structure. The expressed structural framework extends outward into the landscape, establishing a dynamic spatial dialogue between interior, exterior and existing Elm tree. Large operable glazed elements and deep overhangs mediate environmental conditions while visually and functionally dissolving the boundary between the built form and its natural context.

![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.
