House of Representatives Light
Having shown a light fixture in the King's Hall a couple of days ago, I thought I'd follow up with one from the House of Representatives. I'd be interested to know which you prefer!
The House of Representatives is a large internal space in the Old Parliament Building in Canberra, with ceilings considerably higher than that of King's Hall. It is lined with timber panelling, representative of designer John Smith Murdoch's simplified classical style, with furnishings in a similar style. The timber used in the wall panelling, the desks, seats and tables is all Australian black bean wood and Tasmanian blackwood. The hand-woven carpets have a pattern of eucalyptus leaves and wattle blossom.
The House of Representatives is characterised by the colour green, representing the historic inheritance of the Representatives, as the lower house and the house in which governments are formed, from the House of Commons in the Palace of Westminster.
The Old Parliament Building was where Australia's Parliament sat from 1927 to 1988. It is now generally open as a museum for the public to visit.
