Quondong Fruit

In our research during the design process our desert house ‘The Walpiri House’ we found different type of plants and trees that provided food. One being the Quondong fruit as seen on the image above.
We created an oasis within our house providing colourful desert plants as the ‘desert pea’ with bright red flowers shown in the image below.

Our desert house has a water badder that stores our rain water and is removed once the rain season is over. Once the bladder is removed we have a fire place centered in the middle of our the oasis, which was inspired by the aboriginal fire called ‘dream fire’.

Our final much controversial model “The Walpiri house’.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my team mates Joel and Adriano, as it was much fun working with you guys. I feel like I have learnt from both of you and hope to work with you both sometime again in the future.
