"Limitless variation can only emerge from simplicity. I planned for the Suitcase House to be more than a residence. Its character is not limited to space for living and working, it is a transformative environment. From the most complex partitioning, to the most minimal space, it is defined by how people use it. Its life is bound up in perpetual resonance and interaction with people whose lifestyles are constantly changing.” Gary Chang

“To design a family home that explored the opportunities within architecture”. We were challenged by a very public realm within which to build a house while trying to reconcile the idiosyncratic issues of view, privacy, security and sanctuary. Shaun Lockyer

Russell Hall
Lambert House is located on a suburban hillside overlooking Brisbane. It is also known as the Carpenter Hall House and was designed for the Architect Russell Halls sister. The house spans over 5 levels and in plan is a dodecagon(12 sided shape). The building is reminiscent of the early Queensland Lighthouses and refracts light throughout the internal spaces of the building.
