Synopsis

Considered one of his country's leading young talents, Sean Godsell has built a reputation outside of his native Australia for his houses - from the couture to the assembly line. While his elegant Carter Tucker House, a weekend retreat designed for a photographer and his partner, is a glass box sheathed in panels of slender cedar battens; many of these panels are in fact operable flaps that, when opened during the day, allow the house to be transformed into a naturally lit photography studio. On the other end of the spectrum, is Godsell's prototype FutureShack, a prefabricated emergency relief housing unit made of recycled shipping containers. This unit was on view at the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York City during the summer of 2004. This book documents all 23 of Godsell's projects to date, including built works as well as competition entries for larger scale buildings.
