FLIPBOARD CAFE

Flipboard Cafe (hospitality) 141 La Trobe Street, Melbourne CBD Completed: October 2013
Flipboard Cafe, calved from a lost site in the city, is a tiny multi-level nook that serves fine space with a side of excellent coffee and healthy food. The cafe is nestled in the intersection of an emergency exit from Bennetts Lane Jazz Club below, the thoroughfare to Brolly Studios behind, and a two decade old unused shop-front window. The space had once been a transient uncentered passage but has now become its own destination whilst still maintaining its other activities. In the renovation of the front facade we found spaces that had been lost to previous weak and unimaginative occupants who had plasterboarded it shut. We opened it, and it is now one of the few eddies that interrupt the flow of foot traffic on La Trobe street as you can inhabit the facade in cosy cubbies. The central staircase is an obvious feature, helping to shift the paradigm of coffee shops from the horizontal to the vertical. It also helps to build depth in the space and interrupts the eye just enough to make it hungry to see more. The nooks and niches where you can deposit your time are intimate by nature, being small, yet expansive due to the light, the openness of the windows and their proximity to other recesses -a secondary interiority that folds out in its own temper, like the backstage of a theatre.

Brolly Studios HQ (office) 141 La Trobe Street, Melbourne CBD Completed: 2011
Melbourne is known for its thriving studio culture and design community. Brolly Studios is one of only a few inner city shared studio spaces. Situated on La Trobe street it is only a block away from RMiT and the State Library. It is host to a number of design related companies including architects, interior designers, landscape architects, fashion designers and programmers. The space is organised around a central open space which acts like a courtyard. It is the most flexible space in the studio and is available for temporary activities like meetings, installations or events. Brolly provides 18 desk spaces spanning over two levels on the north side of the building facing La Trobe street. The Studio offers its residents a board room, a workshop, a communual kitchen, a bathroom, a library and an in-house cafe.

Alberto Piazza (commercial) 250 Londsdale Street, Melbourne CBD Completed: May 2013
A shoe store with Italian roots based in the CBD of Melbourne. Located in QV on the corner of Londesdale and Swanston street, embedded in the laneway network of the shopping centre.
‘City Scapes’ Alberto Piazza has a long history for well crafted shoes for urban environments. The design playfully suggests a 3 dimensional graphic depiction of city scapes that also become a functional shoe display. It plays with the scale to raise the profile of the shoes in an urbam environment. The shoes are lifted to the height of a city landscape and the graphic extends into the topography of the space.

Wodonga Master Plan (urban) ‘Junction Place’ Central Wodonga Katsiries Origami 2011
The City of Wodonga is Victoria’s fastest growing regional city. This project involved using urban design as an agent for civic regeneration and to accommodate expected growth. The site of 108,000 m2 (10.8 Hectares) was an existing ‘brownfield’ site in central Wodonga. Our design proposed new streets, roads and public spaces that link existing urban fabric with new development parcels for a variety of uses. The width and scale of the new streets, roads and public spaces were researched and designed to calm vehicular traffic, encourage pedestrians and expose a wide range of commercial, retail and cultural uses to the civic realm. The size and geometry of proposed development parcels were also rigorously tested to confirm their suitability for a range of building types and uses. Existing heritage buildings are also drawn into the urban design as signature ‘place-making’ elements. The project commenced construction in 2012 with the new streets and expressions of interest for the first development parcels being called by Government. .

People’s Market (urban) Competition Melbourne 2012
The People’s Market is marked by a sense of playful modesty, friendly creativity, and the effects of a belief in a society that is generous, eco-conscious, and passionate about its own ingenuity. The open honesty of the original site and its pop-up style gives it an air of sincerity, something we want to develop in its new environment. The open unlevel ground-level vacant car park with its asphalt-gravel surface offers two potential design rewards. The first is the natural inclination for water to pool at the lowest grade making the storm water a potential resource. And the second is the amount of natural light and air. These make it perfect for propagating plants. It also makes the site both vehicle and wheelchair accessible. The low-tech aesthetic of the original site speaks to the humility of the community that built it. The liberation of objects from their birthpurpose and raising them to new ones exhibits creative thinking at work. By configuring the current vernacular of containers, crates and pallets into a system that make use of their qualities (modular, cheap, recyclable etc.) allows for stronger relationships between the parts and a more unified final composition. This design proposal seeks to extend the current People’s Market & Flea aesthetic along similar lines. Maintaining the temporality and flexibility of being able to occupy vacant lots our vision seeks to celebrate the short-lived nature of the project and the sense of community that has founded it by implementing three main stategies – waterworx, everything can grow/go, and space to play.

SCHWINGE
Sehen, Balancieren, Schwingen, Hören, Klettern, Bauen, Verstecken, Entspannen… Elf Module sollen dem deutschen Botschaftskindergarten zur Verfügung stehen in denen wir den Kontrast und das Überschneiden gegensätzlicher Qualitäten nicht nur überlagern sondern ins Blickfeld rücken. Höhlengänge und Lochausstiege erlauben ein abwechslungsreiches Hin und Her-Klettern Kriechen und Rutschen, Verstecken oder Zeigen, zwischen innen und außen, oben und unten. Die Grenzen zwischen glatten und rauen Oberflächen werden betont und steigern die sensorische Aktivität. Die Wände werden als Kommunikationsflächen eingesetzt, die durch das Ausblenden einiger Sinne die anderen hervorheben. Verbunden durch ein Polokalrohr kann mit dem anderen Ende der HörHöhle(7) Kontakt aufgenommen werden und wichtige Informationen ausgetauscht werden. Im SpechtlDampfer(1) erhalten die Ereignisse ihre nötige Beobachtung und wenn es darum geht Waren auszutauschen können diese in der SehTauschKriechwand(4) durchgedreht werden…

PlayMO (urban activation) Winner of Melbourne Design Award 2012 Drewery Alley, Melbourne CBD
PlayMo was born from the intention to invent a space that turns into a place where people meet, spend time and play. Its name comes from “playmobil”, a Lego styled child’s creative play toy. Using Milk Crates was like playing with big Lego pieces. Milk Crates are a fantastic material for many reasons; they are structural, light, modular and they have an iconic role in Melbourne’s cafe image and laneways. The familiarity to a material plays an important role in engaging with it. PlayMo uses 3 different types of Crates. Black = platforms, Grey= stairs, Green=moveable. The Green Crates provide the undefined random element; people rearrange their seats or even build small stairs themselves. PlayMo is designed to grow and adapt. People are encouraged to leave things behind and to add to the structure. We found artworks, plants, toys, pillows, lights and received more than hundred letters. We even found that people had constructed a bin so that it could be kept clean. Drewery Alley

‘MPX’ Major Project Exhibition 2012
Since 2011, RMIT Architecture Masters students and recent graduates have been making a considered effort to elevate the Major Project Exhibition to an event that appropriately celebrates both the completion of the Major Project (Thesis by Project), and the culmination of the long journey through their Architectural education. Together, with a small group of selected students, Mel Dodd, Paul Minifie and Phil Burns we facilitated the design and installation of the Major Project Exhibition in the newly opened Design Hub Gallery. My role was to mentor students on how to design, build and coordinate an event that caters to up to 1000 people in one night.
