Earlier this year we presented our first built project in Sydney, the Glassbook house, to the NSW Australian Institute of Architect’s jury for the residential alterations and additions category. Being the most highly regarded awards program in the country, we were chuffed to be shortlisted! Check out all the other excellent projects here.
Sibling Stable House underway!
Our Sibling Stable house is well under way 🙂
All the framing is up…and we feel the house nestles quite comfortably within the old stable brick walls.
We love watching the details as they come together…the concrete sala cloud seat and papaya grid ceramic tile cladding.
Aiming for lockup before Christmas…and completion by Autumn 2020!
New Agency at Sao Paulo Biennial
Will your house outlive you? What kind of ancestor do you want to be? These are some of the questions we’re asking in our film showing at Everyday, the twelfth edition of the International Architecture Biennale of São Paulo, which has just opened this week! The film is part of New Agency, our research project that looks towards the future of housing through the lens of an ageing population.
Everyday, proposes to professionals and the public to reflect on the everyday – the most trivial dimension of reality – to investigate architecture and the built environment of the 21st century. Everyday presents practices and projects ranging from construction to design, planning, photography, pedagogy, research, policy making and activism, crossing disciplines, scales and boundaries.
Glassbook house under construction
Our Glassbook house in Tempe is nearing the finish line. We are really thrilled to see the structural bookshelves installed, and the soft light coming through the glassblock wall…perfect for reading. Can’t wait to populate those shelves and share more of this little gem!
New Agency: Participate in the research survey here
There is still time to participate in Sibling’s research project New Agency, which investigates the future of housing through the lens of an ageing population. The first iteration of the project was an exhibition that took place at RMIT Design Hub in 2018 where gallery visitors could participate in a survey, which will inform the next stage of the research. Take part in our research by responding to the online questionnaire to help us re-imagine the future. Read more about New Agency here.
