21.01.2006| ‘Quirky, eclectic and where?’ These tend to be the responses when you mention Cremorne. One of Melbourne’s newest suburbs-Cremorne – a tiny corner of Richmond bounded by Church and Swan streets, Punt Road and City Link – officially became a separate entity in 1999.
Because of the zoning there were no problems with the planning permit, we saw the opportunity to have a bit of a play….. That freedom to play has resulted in a pocket of fabulous architecture… to the ERA commercial and residential development, designed by Plus Architecture…’ |

Retirement Village, Launceston
9.01.2006| Located in Prospect, Launceston, the concept masterplan features approximately 150 retirement villas and community centre. The site for this proposed design has a long history and connection to the timber industry of Tasmania.
The timber stacks still existing on the site have become a reference point for the design and there has been a general theme of linear timber elements woven into the proposed community centre and villa facades. Community facilities include tennis court, swimming pool and bowling green, together with café, conference and function rooms, lounge and library for residents. |
