Batten House / Ben Walker Architects
"Batten House is a new family home and studio in Curtin, ACT, adjacent to the Yarralumla Creek open space network. The project responds to its highly visible location next to a public cycle network and to beautiful southern parkland views. The design response is primarily driven by three key objectives. The first is the need to respond to the proximity of a public park and cycleway, the second is the prospect of adjacent southern parkland, and the third is the need for sustainable design outcomes."

Batten House is a new family home and studio in Curtin, ACT, located adjacent to the Yarralumla Creek open space network. The residence occupies a highly visible site beside a public cycleway and overlooks southern parkland vistas. The design prioritizes responding to the proximity of the public park and cycleway, framing and maximizing the prospect of adjacent southern parkland views, and delivering sustainable design outcomes. Spatial choices, facade treatments, and landscape interfaces are oriented to mediate public exposure while enhancing outlook, privacy, and environmental performance for long-term livability.
