AR DEE
acrylic on board
Built during the latter half of the 1950s, AR DEE is representative of type of housing built after the second world war during a period of strong tourism and residential growth in the seaside suburb of Tugun on the Gold Coast.
The modernist influenced design style common during this period, suited a beach houses simple and practical needs, and because it was owner built it also displays an uniqueness due to the owners inventiveness, budget restraints and need for low maintenance.
AR Dee, named after the original owners name, is the only fibro house from this era listed on the Gold Coast Councils Heritage Register. The current owner, a local architect, bought the house to preserve it and to encourage others to do the same.
Size: 45 × 60 cm
