25.01.2022 Once upon a time in Esperance Western Australia there was a pink lake that resided next to the ocean. It was a beautiful sight to behold and people travelled far and wide to see her beauty. But after years of salt mining, changed water flows from new roads/rail and evaporation the bubblegum pink has diluted to a dull blue grey. An utter shame indeed. Damn you humans. . . . #humanimpact #saltlake #pinklake #esperance #wa #australia #northbourne

23.01.2022 A much needed upgrade to a crumbling facade in South Yarra. Buildings should last more than 20 years. Always opt for quality over quantity. . . . #buildingsshouldlastmorethan20years #qualitynotquantity #qualityoverquantity #rebuild #replan #northbourne

15.01.2022 I think unconscious bias is one of the hardest things to get at. My favorite example is the symphony orchestra. When I was growing up, there were no women in orchestras. Auditioners thought they could tell the difference between a woman playing and a man. Some intelligent person devised a simple solution: Drop a curtain between the auditioners and the people trying out. And, lo and behold, women began to get jobs in symphony orchestras. RBG Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a fierce..., uncompromising and gracious champion of women’s rights. She should definitely be the subject of a series of kids books - what an awesome role model indeed. May she rest in peace. . . . #womensrights #notoriousrbg #ruthbaderginsburg #legend See more

15.01.2022 It is truly heartbreaking to see so much of our country struggling with the crazy-intense fires. So many animals lost, houses flattened, nature destroyed and 8 human lives lost. And now there are 28 people unaccounted for in Victoria with conditions worsting tomorrow... it is a truly devastating situation. Every donation dollar counts, and when it comes time to rebuild Northbourne will be donating our architectural skills. But for now, we will keep praying Go easy Univers...e, go easy. . . . #northbourne See more

13.01.2022 Geez, they knew how to have fun in the 70s. The Aldebaran pendant light by French sculptor + artist Max Sauze 1970.

11.01.2022 Step one in our 2020 aim to be carbon neutral is to switch to 100% Certified GreenPower by the end of this month. Its really very easy to do, any energy company can provide it. Just call your current provider and ask to switch over to their Certified GreenPower supply. Going green means using energy that doesnt release carbon emissions, reducing your carbon footprint and supporting renewable energy development. ... Win, win! Let us know below when you have made the switch! Dale Appleton, DELWP #architectsdeclare #architectsact #carbonneutral #climatechange #bushfirecrisis #australia #actnow #northbourne

09.01.2022 Like everyone, our hearts are broken for Australia right now, however we continue to be encouraged by the leadership, generosity, empathy and activism shown by Australian and global communities. Last month, a group of committed architects met as part of the Architects Declare, Architects Act movement. We worked collaboratively through ideas on how to move forward to create architecture and urbanism that has a more positive impact on the world around us. Theres never been a b...etter time than now to realise these ideas. We have big plans for 2020 and look forward to sharing them with you. We urge you to join us.

09.01.2022 This artist, Darel Carey, is beyond amazing. He uses electrical tape on 2 dimensional surfaces to create 3 dimensional spaces that challenge perception. Love. . . . @darelcarey #tapeartist #art #blackandwhite #stripes #northbourneloves #northbourne

06.01.2022 Still beautiful 74 years on. Waterfall Chandelier by Carlo Nason, 1946. The piastra technique used to create each Murano droplet is very labour intensive with each piece shaped by hand. Why buy new when you can have a beautiful piece of history? . .... . #lighting #chandelier #muranoglass #carlonason #vintage #history #wouldlookgreatinyourplace #northbourne See more

04.01.2022 UPCOMING PROJECT Please vote for us in the ArchiTeam Peoples Choice Awards! https://architeam.awardsplatform.com/entry/vote/GynJNVyP... Casa Connection is a small-scale residential infill project with a conscience to support and encourage more women into the building industry, and fight against disengaged, low quality local development and urban sprawl. Women make up 2 per cent of construction industry jobs. To focus on the potential of women in the construction industry, it has been my ambition to design and build this project with a female-based team. However, thus far, I have struggled to find suitably qualified women to take part, further highlighting the serious gender imbalance rife within the industry. ** Casa Connection is a compact 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home neatly nestled behind the recently renovated 100 year old terracotta roofed bungalow where we currently reside. It is rare to find private property that provides amenity to the public. To challenge this notion, and to encourage community connection and social interaction, the front fence of the existing bungalow will offer a fully integrated public bench seat and street library to swap books and provide offerings to be shared amongst the community. Flexible timber batten fencing with openable sections are proposed to the side laneway, providing residents the option to invite public interaction or privately retreat. We hope this development may act as a precedent for other residents to open up their built environment in a similar way, offering a new type of public space to the neighbourhood. * * We also wish to credit and acknowledge the following extremely talented artist's with a selection of their artwork shown in our interior renders.

03.01.2022 We cant let a black and white moment go past without mentioning one of our fave artists Gordon Walters. Being a New Zealander, he was heavily influenced by the Maori culture and often abstracted the Koru motif into his minimalist contemporary art. The Koru represents an unfurling fern frond and represents new life / new beginnings / rebirth / growth.

03.01.2022 Primitive carved out forms of the Gwathmey Residence, Long Island, New York, 1965 - A Modernist classic. Designed by Charles Gwathmey for his parents when he was just 27 years old!

01.01.2022 Social distancing might be sending us a little cray-cray...in fact, we are starting to wish our house-office was a bit more exciting like the Bubble Palace. Designed and built by a craftsman + artist, Antti Lovag had a unique vision of architecture. He designed without plans or models and built by hand. To underscore the non-conventional dimension of his approach, he defined himself as a habitologist. He was not interested in architecture as such, but rather focused on man and his living space to create an envelope encompassing mans needs. "There are no right angles in nature. In nature everything is in motion - the curves of the human body, flowing water, the canopy of the heavens."
