Season’s Greetings

8.12.2011
This year instead of sending Christmas cards we are giving the gift of a mud brick well. This will provide much needed water to a community in Sri Lanka to keep them alive.

Along with the mud brick well,  we are giving a very special water filter jar to a Cambodian family. The jar will filter water, remove germs and increase life expectancy for a poor family living on the Mekong.These gifts are possible thanks to Oxfam Australia which is part of a global movement of dedicated people working hard to fight poverty and injustice.

Nott Street, Port Melbourne

29.11.2011
Inspired by its Port-side surroundings, the 6 storey design is informed by the characteristics of both modern day and historic shipping ports – ocean setting, towering cranes, cargo shipping containers, historic sailing ships and modern day cruise ships – whilst simultaneously overlaying a contemporary architectural language to the design.

The distinctive façade framing is influenced by the skyscraping cranes scattered across the city Ports.  Dark glass is set back behind the façade to generate layering and depth.

Contrastingly, the Eastern side of the building is oriented towards the CBD with picturesque views of the city skyline.
