Our client Mr. Barlow lives life on the edge, he likes taking risks and sometimes this is what pushes the Barlows to success in the first place. I see this element of risk-taking as a big part of the lives of the Barlows. As such, this mini-golf hazard aims to embody that sense of chance and gamble that we might all relate to as well. As a person putts the ball in a straight line, they have to first overcome the slope up, followed by a very small opening in the middle. Once that is300mm done, the hazard does the rest of the work by randomly choosing where the ball slopes down toward. Unlike other minigolf hazards, this scheme has 8 holes at the end, each with more or less the same chance for the ball to go into. Placed at the start 250mm of the 9-hole mini-golf course, each of these holes would then lead to the other 8 hazards in the 9-hole course, making this the perfect way to play mini-golf, as well as a form of roulette at the same time. 200mm

Neon Sign:
Showroom:
As with any car showroom, one of the significant considerations is how to signify its presence within the tight urban fabric of Melbourne. An effective way of doing this is by installing a neon sign, in a similar manner to some of the buildings in Las Vegas.
By having the showroom in a large atrium space, this scheme emphasises the extravagance of the building, and consequently of Mr Barlow himself. The three-tiered nature of the showroom floor-plates can showcase different series of cars from the manufacturer, as well as distinguish different degrees of exclusivity.
With this scheme, the curvatures on the facade creates the perfect backdrop to outline with neon lights, which would then highlight the showroom when it turns on at night.
These showroom floor-plates also taper back as it gets higher, allowing for visual connectivity between each floor, and consequently letting Mr Barlow watch over his showroom from the bachelor apartment at the top.
