Hotham Street, South Melbourne is a three-storey mixed-use building consisting of a ground floor lobby, six-car carpark, a large one bedroom apartment with a home theatre and an office space with a mezzanine level that provides a flexible space. The architecture of the building reflects historical characteristics of the neighbourhood and also demonstrates a dynamic modern sensibility. The interior space needed to be both functional as a professional home office while having the comforts of home. With an extensive art collection the interior needed to be natural and pared back to allow the art to be the dominant feature in the house.

233 c o lli ns st r e e t The apartments focused on a connection between the exterior and the interior through the use of a light colour palette. An emphasis on linearity for the kitchen and living room joinery produce an ambient living environment that is both personal yet engages with the city fabric. This merging threshold between kitchen and living spaces provided a larger feel to the small apartment space.

16 8 l onsdale ST R EET A15-storey building for the Greek Orthodox Community in the heart of Melbourne’s Greek precinct. The design subtly reflects the historical characteristics and motifs of Greece, including the use of blue and white glass in the façade fenestration to abstractly reflect the colours of the Greek flag. Whilst the colour variation is clearly visible, the reference to the Greek flag is attenuated.

ex hib itio n “up c lo se”
“Art is beauty, the perpetual invention of detail, the choice of words, the exquisite care of execution”. Theophile Gautier The ‘Up Close’ 2015 Art and Design Exhibition sought to bring a pause to the constant fast paced movement of life today. The exhibition was designed to engage with the individuals who occupied the space. It was devised to encourage captivation and draw one to look closer to see the finer details of art and design. Through the saturation of works and installations one was overpowered and immersed in the art. But as occupants moved in closer they become more aware of the tactile sensations of texture and detail and were able to appreciate each piece of work in an intimate manner.

e x h i b ition “made”
Maurice Merleau-Ponty, the French phenomenological philosopher said of space, “I do not see according to its exterior envelope; I live it from the inside; I am immersed in it. After all, the world is around me, not in front of me.” The centre of the exhibition was an installation art piece collaboratively created by Year 11 Visual Communication Design students. The installation art piece was large enough for viewers to enter into it with their whole bodies. They did not gaze upon the installation piece so much as pass through it. In a very real sense, “seeing” the installation piece was a lived, immersive experience. This piece set the tone for the exhibition. Occupants moved through a set path designed to showcase the selected artworks and appreciate their complexity and detail.

A conceptual residential design with a strong focus on linear elements. The facade design is composed of a horizontal black protruding element and a vertically extruded concrete element. The interior colour palette and design speaks to the exterior with repeated black and concrete elements. Light oak timbers and purposeful windows soften the hard design.
