History

Andresen O’Gorman was an architectural partnership of Brit Andresen and Peter O’Gorman. It was formed in Brisbane in 1980 and mostly worked with private residences in south-east Queensland. The works of the Andresen O’Gorman are mostly timber houses of modest scale on individual sites. They are characterised by their responses to the subtropical climate and include the linear planning of open and enclosed spaces, the layering of zones of inhabitation, and circulation and the opening up of internal spaces to the external environment. These characteristics are most pronounced in projects such as Ocean View farmhouse at Mt Mee (1994-1995), Roseberry house at Highgate Hill (1994-1997), Mooloomba house on North Stradbroke Island (1995-1997) and the Moreton Bay houses at Wynnum (1998-2001).
