The site’s topography, orientation, exposure to the elements and neighbours, define the building’s form.
The building responds through systems of blocking and filtering: walls of sliding glass, screens, and large scale automated clerestories.
The resultant form and spatial dynamics are reminiscent of a full sail, a Spinnaker.

Architecture
Sparks Architects
Sunshine Coast-based Sparks Architects believe buildings that seek a balance between the natural and built environments, through form, materiality, and integrated energy systems will also facilitate spaces that guide us, invigorate us, rest us, seduce us, and inspire us.
The practice is led by Dan Sparks.
