Open house for architects SCOTT and Mary-Jeanne recently hosted an open house for Brisbane’s architectural community at their home, The Graceville House, one of the city’s iconic riverfront homes. The Graceville House, designed by architect Donald Watson, won the coveted national Robin Boyd Award for Residential Build- ings in 1989. Mr Watson, current Architect Queensland Public Works, was guest speaker and explained the inspiration and motivation behind his unique and timeless design. The Graceville House was originally built for the Campbell family in 1987 but has been owned for the past 19 years by Scott and Mary-Jeanne. They recently moved to another property and opened the house to Brisbane architects prior to placing the Graceville house on the market. Scott said many architects had enquired about the house over the years and he and Mary-Jeanne took the opportunity to open the house to architects and their guests. Mary-Jeanne served wine from her family’s vineyards, Craggy Range, in New Zealand. 3
