The House started around 1996 in Elwood. Now residing in Elsternwick at Lisbon House, The House has always interested itself with Public versus Private Space and Human Creativity.
More recently developing as a hub for Human Communities it's interest in alternative sustainable urban living has grown. Today it's resident's experiment with creativity and lifestyle, trying to create a balance between a home for ideas and a functional living space. Such incubators explore the practical and political impacts of living within the urban environment, while also dealing with the political, cultural and peer pressures that go with everyday living.
Residencies are not for extended periods and are based on the life of an idea submitted to fellow residents. The ideas development and or implementation are the indicators that determine whether the initial three month residency is extended.
