of zinc-al roof sheets supported by
eucalyptus trusses, and the ceiling is
made of purpose-designed handmade
‘Mukeka’ reed mats.
ROJECT TEAM
Following Ross’ death, the client, the
Cotton On Foundation from Australia,
approached Studio FH Architects
with the request to complete the
design and help implement it as
close as possible to the his original
intentions. Felix Holland, principal
architect at Studio FH and personal
friend of Ross, took on the challenge
and assembled a team of dedicated
designers and builders who went on
a detective mission deciphering Ross’
design intentions, guessing at times
and disagreeing at others, and finally
realising a building that they hope
does justice to the ideas and visions of
the architect.
