The St Lucia House located at Hiron Street in Brisbane was designed by Elizabeth Watson-Brown and Peter Skinner for their own family. The design was based off the natural beauty of the site. Brown and Skinner created an aesthetically pleasing building which focused on the central tree that dwarfed a large majority of the site. The architects during their design used spatial sequence to equally create a flow that synthesized with the surrounding landscape. In doing this they created a focus on the central tree on the site and turned the house into a huge glass façade that highlights the wondrous natural light that filters through the tree. The design was recognized winning the RAIA Robin Dods Award for Housing, due to its innovative design and visually stunning aesthetics (Skinner. P, 2004).
