“Creating a handful of beautifully considered and finely constructed projects across the state of Tasmania, emerging architect Saxon Hall has been busy honing his craft in architecture and design for the last decade. Prior to establishing his own part-time practice Saxon Hall Architecture, Hall previously worked at one of Hobart’s leading architecture studios Morrison & Breytenbach Architects, where his inspiration to explore the limits and applications of Tasmanian Oak was ignited. Collaborating with a breadth of designers and tradespeople on his latest project, We Ponder House, Hall’s passion for using products low in embodied energy called for the use of Tasmanian Oak. Sustainability was also top of mind. As a nod to the state’s extensive use of the prized local timber in agriculture sheds that spot the scenic landscape – Tasmanian Oak was used for the home’s exterior but done with a modern and abstract twist.” - tasmaniantimber.com.au, accessed 20/11/23
“Principal and certified Passive House architect Michael Loubser of Align Architecture has been honing his knowledge and skill set in passive solar design for a number of years, focusing on Passivhaus and healthy building materials. He emphasises that the incorporation of both passive solar design and Passivhaus principles into the We Ponder home was essential to maximising the user’s comfort, particularly during colder months.” - tasmaniantimber.com.au, accessed 20/11/23
