As an Open House fan, I’ll let you into a little secret…. last years Sunshine Coast Open House (the first ever) was one of the best open house weekends we have been to in a long time! We got to see a home perched high on top of the hill above Eumundi by Robinson Architects, followed by a Sparks Architects now very well known Tent House, as seen on Grand Designs Australia last year. Finally, on our way back to Brisbane we visited Shaun Lockyer’s Brazilian-modernist inspired courtyard house on Mooloolah Island.
This years line up, again, looks to be worth a sunny visit to the Sunshine Coast! sunshinecoastopenhouse.com.au
