The various built and open spaces constitutive of this project – an existing house, a new outbuilding containing an external room and sleeping areas, new wetlands and bird hide – sit within the area of Kullurk,[1] which was the local Indigenous Bunurong peoples’ own choice in 1840 for a reserve of land for their imagined future.
