eton

with Brendan Moore + Super Natural

2025

Eton is a residential project that explores the relationship between Country, landscape, and architecture through a collaborative, research-led design process. The project emerged from a desire to reconsider conventional approaches to engagement and design, drawing on knowledge, perspectives and practices beyond the discipline of architecture.

Conceived as a generous family dwelling with dedicated creative workspaces, Eton seeks to strengthen connections between people, place and the natural environment. The architecture is grounded in the anticipation that, over time, the landscape will become the defining presence on the site, shaping the experience of inhabitation and fostering a richer relationship between interior and exterior.

Responding to the environmental and cultural histories of its place, the project reflects an ongoing interest in reciprocity, care and long-term stewardship. By integrating water, ecologies, and architecture as an active participant, Eton explores how dwelling can support both human and more-than-human life while layering and embedding deep narratives of place. The team is attempting to put the human figure in scale with the other species that live on this planet with us, and the project begins and ends with gep or kep, the Noongar word for the flow of water, to revive the thirsty ground, culminating in the idea of a perfect pond.
