Seemingly floating over a suburban Brisbane street, the brick and timber façade of Clay Lantern House suggests the form and dappled light of its namesake. At different angles and times of the day, glimpses of movement and silhouette activate changes in the facade, connecting with the outside while maintaining privacy.

A home to a creative family deeply rooted in nature. Every piece of furniture is handcrafted locally, promoting the "Make in India" movement.
