"A project that tries to combine the light touch and the more solid and grounded approach that Johnson mentions is the C House (1) on the outskirts of Brisbane in Queensland. Designed by the firm Donovan Hill, the house sets a series of wood-and-glass pavilions atop a cascading base of poured-concrete walls, courts, and terraces. Sixteen flights of stairs lead up, around, and about the sprawling residence, built for a bachelor. According to Jahm, Donovan Hill--along with Neil Durbach in Sydney--brings "a molded, tactile design approach" that is both sensual and organic."
