HENRIC NICHOLAS, CLIENT: The Nicholas House (1977-1980) in Mount Irvine, NSW, was designed within the constraints of its relatively isolated site, using standard building components and techniques so that it could be built by a single individual. Henric Nicholas discusses the work of award-winning architect *Glenn Murcutt) in association with the exhibition Architecture for Place.

The Nicholas House consists of two parallel pavilions with a curved corrugated iron roof at the rear that both shields it from cold winds blowing down the slope outside and illuminates the interior with soft ambient light.
