Living in landscape
Heide and houses by McGlashan and Everist
18 July - 5 November 2006
Venue: Heide II
Curator: Philip Goad, Professor of Architecture, University of Melbourne
House at Heide
Living in landscape: Heide and houses by McGlashan and Everist is the first exhibition to present the architectural inspiration for Heide’s iconic modernist house, Heide II. Interpreting the celebrated home of John and Sunday Reed, within the wider context of McGlashan and Everist’s early domestic practice, the exhibition surveys the architects’ residential commissions, both Heide II’s predecessors and subsequent houses designed during the 1960s.
Original plans, drawings and photographs provide detailed insight into the ideas of McGlashan and Everist and their clients. Restored Heide II furniture, purpose designed by McGlashan and Everist, is displayed with artworks John and Sunday Reed hung in Heide II during their residency.
