To be honest I am not a huge fan of Daniel Libeskind’s work as I have questions regarding the site specific nature of the buildings however, the craftsmanship in this project is unbelievable. It is not often we see one-off residential homes come out of his office as he is famous for his large scale […]
Every known and then a project comes out of left field that takes things to new levels. However, with new levels come new challenges. This project came our way as a result of a recommendation from the good people at Retracom. We were contacted in 2011 by […]
In late 2011 the famous American architect, Peter Eisenman known for his intellectual and theoretical approach to design and teaching presented a lecture to the students and faculty of Sci-arc, Southern California’s prestigious architectural school.

This Brisbane restaurant designed by Arkhefield wraps its distinctive architecture inside via a stacked, curving timber wall that runs through the centre of the space. With Melbourne’s Stokehouse restaurant practically a St Kilda institution, any little sister offshoot elsewhere would always have to make her own mark or suffer the fate of […]

The site contains a beautiful forest of extant Stringybark woodland. Our original interest was […]

Words by: Nick Bryant Architect James Stockwell’s Snowy Mountains House. Photo by Patrick Bingham-Hall Yes, Sydney has one very good building. But contemporary Australian architecture is out of […]
In another visual extravaganza, our four-year-old has this time created his interpretation of a high-rise building. Being a little more complex than his last few creations, this scheme depicts the space by allowing for large volumetric caverns defined by colour and transparency. While I am sure Jed is just having fun […]
Jed’s design hit’s the local paper, how cool!

Years after his passing designers across the world continue to produce interpretations of the Geodesic Dome structures that made him famous. This tent by Hamburg-based ‘Heimplanet’ is no exception having taken advantage of the fractal geometries found in nature. Unveiled at this […]
