History
Peter Harry O’Gorman was an Australian architect. Born in Brisbane in 1940, O’Gorman graduated from the University of Queensland in 1964 and started a sole practice. His early approach to system building enabled people of lesser means access to high-quality architecture. In the late 1970s he met Brit Andresen, with whom he formed an architectural partnership. They also both taught at the University of Queensland and subsequently married. From 1980 onwards Andresen O’Gorman completed numerous buildings. Their work has been widely published, and was brought to an international audience, particularly by the Mooloomba House on North Stradbroke Island. Peter O'Gorman died on 19 October 2001.
