Scale has released its entry for the Prime Minister’s Lodge competition. The building responds to Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahoney’s vision for Canberra, drawing upon relationships between monumental architecture and the landscape.

Scale is currently involved in the restoration of the Ockens House, a home designed by renowned Australian architect Glenn Murcutt in 1978. The proposed works to the Ockens House intend to restore this unique home to its original design intent. Further photographs of the building have been taken by Max Dupain and can be seen in his archives here.

Long Courtyard House has recently been completed and photographed by Brett Boardman. The house is a contemporary addition to a turn-of-the-century terrace house, and is built around the idea that each new space should relate to a garden.
