In their words
Architecture shaped by Tasmania’s climate
Established by David Green in 2001, Green Design works on homes, small public buildings and commercial projects from its base in South Hobart. Directors David and Uta Green bring environmental design, heritage and construction experience to the practice.
The team considers orientation, insulation, water use and the embodied impact of materials together. Its work ranges from compact homes and alternative construction systems to walking huts in remote national parks.
Lake Tahune Hut shows how that approach changes with the site: prefabricated timber panels reduce assembly time in short alpine weather windows, while a well-insulated enclosure shelters walkers beneath Frenchmans Cap.
