(b Melbourne, 7 Sept 1944). Australian architect. She studied architecture at the University of Melbourne, graduating in 1964. In 1974–85 she worked in the New South Wales Public Works Department, Sydney, on various tertiary buildings. As project architect for the Petersham College of Technical and Further Education (1982) in Crystal Street, Petersham, she was the first woman in New South Wales to receive a merit award from the Royal Australian Institute of Architects for a non-residential building. Externally the building is four storeys high but internally these storeys tier down to an oasis-like courtyard formed by the new building and the existing buildings. The college is red brick with terracotta tiled roofs facing the courtyard. The choice of domestic materials in the institutional setting was deliberate; the harsh external wall of the building contrasts with the softer internal space with its layers of roofs. Contrasts between enclosed and exposed spaces were a continuing interest for Garlick and are ideas she further explored in her own practice, established in 1987. Much of her work was residential, for example Winnie’s House (1987), Torquay, Victoria, and Shirley’s House (1991), Sydney; Winnie’s House is essentially a ‘bent wall’ that forms a courtyard to the north giving protection from the southerly winds. The rooms of the house are formed from skillion roofs supported off this face-brick wall. She also designed medium-density housing projects (e.g. at Leichhardt, 1994) and refurbished Sydney’s Italian quarter in Norton Street, Leichhardt, in 1994 to accommodate a regular weekend street market, introducing culturally appropriate urban design with such elements as lighting, trees, paving, street furniture and changes in awnings. The project draws its design language from Italian historical precedents but aims at a regional and modern interpretation. Garlick taught design at the University of Sydney (1985–92) and University of Technology, Sydney (1984, 1993–5).
