House Hamilton-Brett is a courtyard house linked to a rental flat, both two storeys in height. Built according to environmentally sustainable design principles on a narrow site with dual street frontage, it is situated in one of Hobart’s older and originally less affluent inner suburbs. Its contemporary form and architectural language respect the scale and built texture of the historic context and integrate well with the immediate streetscapes.
