Esther Anatolitis, Director of Regional Arts Victoria, has reviewed the energetic discussion between Jan van Schaik and clients Donata Carrazza and Stefano de Pieri for ArchitectureAU.com.
“When is a private building a public building? Is it when its architectural boldness invites a public response? When some or all of its spaces welcome public interaction? Or when its owners are public figures?…For Stefano, Mildura is a significant and unique cultural centre – a leader and a catalyst. For his home, Jan has designed a forceful, practical and evocative space, around whose tables any contemporary Deakin would be inspired to hatch ambitious new plots.”
