This monograph surveys the residential work of Sean Godsell (b. 1960), a contemporary Australian architect known for his distinctive minimalist designs and innovative approach to climate-responsive shelter. Godsell's work is celebrated for its economy of means, often employing prefabricated or simple, readily available materials. His designs frequently feature perforated screens, sliding layers, and operable facades to manage light, air, and privacy, directly engaging with the harsh light and varied conditions of the Australian environment. His architecture represents a key strain of contemporary Australian modernism, prioritizing functionality, deep sustainability, and essential form.
