The Marie Short House was also one of the popular houses built by Glenn Murcutt. It is two pavilion style buildings together which are three feet off the ground by stilts. The usage for the two pavilions is that one is for sleeping and the other is for doing other things. In most of Glenn Murcutt’s buildings have some sort of louvres, which is included in this house as well, to help with the breeze flow in and out of the building. The Marie Short House is made out of timbers that can “expand and contract in the heat and cold of the different seasons” and the roof is made out of steel metal. It is nice to see that all of Glenn Murcutt’s architecture that he built and/or designed are unique in there own way.
