A new era is upon us! Over the last few weeks/months, I have observed a significant disruption emerge within the digital art space. It is taking the world by storm! I am speaking of access to A.I. technology via apps like Mid-Journey and Dall-E 2. These online applications effectively allow anyone to type in keywords […]
When approaching a new build whether it be a new home or the renovation of an existing one, have you ever considered, as the client, you are placing an ungodly amount of trust and money into the hands of someone who barely knows you?

Architecture and design can operate at extraordinary scales. In Brisbane, our biggest firms work on the global stage. Companies like BVN Donovan Hill, Cox Rayner and Conrad Gargett Riddel have all made their mark. In last week’s post we talked about another world renowned architect firm coming to Brisbane for a 2015 build, Zaha Hadid Architects. […]
