Peter Stutchbury, winner of the Australian Institute of Architects’ prestigious Gold Medal in 2015, was born in Sydney in 1954. Though he lived for most of his childhood on the city’s North Shore, he also took advantage of the fact that he had relatives in rural NSW. Visiting them as often as possible, he developed an affinity with the land.
By the time he was a teenager, this love of the outdoors had extended to the ocean. He was a keen surfer and spent as much time as he could travelling the East Coast of Australia looking for the next big storm swell.
