‘Touch the earth lightly’: the Australian home that floats above the landscape

The article profiles the Ball-Eastaway House, a home designed by pioneering Australian architect Glenn Murcutt in 1983 for artist Sydney Ball and his partner Lynne Eastaway. Located on a 10-hectare block of dry sclerophyll forest northwest of Sydney, the house is elevated on 14 steel columns sunk into a sandstone rock shelf, allowing it to float above the landscape and minimize its environmental impact. Murcutt, who later won the Pritzker Prize, incorporated sustainable design features such as natural ventilation, a gutter system inspired by eucalypt leaf patterns, and a structure that can be dismantled without trace.

He also reflects on his childhood in Lebanon, migration to Australia, and how his return to Lebanon in 2002 reconnected him with his Sufi lineage, which informs his artistic practice focused on memory, displacement, and social justice.
