Australian architect Jeremy Edmiston lives in New York, and has for nearly two decades. With US architect Douglas Gaultier he created the BURST House, which is on show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This house was chosen from over 400 world-wide to be one of five houses at the show Home Delivery: Fabricating The Modern Dwelling, curated by Barry Bergdoll, curator of architecture at MOMA.
The orginal BURST house was built for its client, an Anglican minister and his family, in North Haven on the mid-north coast of NSW, near Port Macquarie. In 2006 it won the NSW Wilkinson Prize for Residential Architecture.
