Philip M Dingemanse Architects on Lunchbox Architect

Philip M Dingemanse is a Tasmanian architecture and design studio. The practice describes its key characteristics as rigorous and strategic design thinking, a thoughtful response to site and surroundings, and careful implementation of best-practice environmentally sustainable design.

The Australian Institute of Architects awarded Philip Tasmania's 2015 Emerging Architect Prize for his contribution to practice, education, design excellence and community. The studio's Dales of Derby won the 2019 Barry McNeill Award for Sustainable Architecture and the Award for Commercial Architecture in Tasmania, and Valley House received a 2015 commendation for residential architecture.

On Lunchbox, Southern Outlet House in Launceston sits on a steep slope beside a major arterial road. Borrowing the dazzle technique from early 20th-century naval camouflage, its facade plays with scale for passing traffic while working within a tight budget. The house received a 2014 national commendation and the Esmond Dorney Award for Residential Architecture.
