The hinterland of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast evokes the image of dense forest in mountainous regions. However, with its increased popularity, many areas, including the township of Mapleton, have become more suburban – with the distant views of the mountain rages a continual reminder of the region’s attraction. Among the more prosaic houses, one can find the Mapleton House, designed by Atelier Chen Hung, recipient of numerous awards and accolades, including the Robin Dodds award from the AIA (Queensland chapter) and also a national award in the category of new houses.
Ever committed to sharing great design and architecture, Open Journal (OJ, ●) is a platform for us to promote ideas, curiosities and projects from across the globe alongside insights and conversations with the people who make up our vibrant communities. It’s also a great way to stay informed about Neometro activities and learn more about our values and approach.
