Suzanne Gorman of Studio Gorman joined forces with Josh Allen of 8 Squared Architects and Andy Bishop of Arthouse Constructions to update and extend this modernist home. What was the client’s brief? It was essential that the integrity of the original 1959 house, The Quarterdeck, designed by architect Glynn Nicholls (son of Walter Burley Griffin contemporary Eric Nicholls), was maintained but integrated with the latest technology.
