We are excited to see our Music Market project for Creative Victoria at the Collingwood Yards commence construction! In these complicated times of social distancing, the urgency to invest in these cultural and civic spaces is ever more present. Looking forward to the day when we can bring the community together at the Music Market.

There has been a pause from regular news and social media posts.

Sibling has been thinking about: How can architecture contribute to reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Australia?

We have produced a draft of intention in how Sibling could contribute in various ways. You can see our draft here.

We welcome your feedback. Our news and social media posts will return, but it won’t be business as usual.

Super thrilled to have the Frenches Interior feature in ‘More is More’ by Claire Bingham, a te neues published book that brings together furniture, fashion, object and interior design of the New Wave aesthetic. The featured projects demonstrate how contemporary design has been shaped by the post modernist and maximilist movement Memphis!

One of our New Agency chairs made it down to the MADA Gallery at Monash University as part of the exhibition Better Together: Stories of Contemporary Documents. Curated by Guillermo Fernández-Abascal, Kate Finning and Urtzi Grau with Anna Tonkin, Charles Choi, Jack Cooper and SPGD. The exhibition presents thirty three documents of contemporary Australian architecture and the associated stories. The definition of architectural documents is expansive, encompassing working drawings, correspondence, mockups and contracts; formats that expose the unique processes of contemporary architectural production. We suggest that the ability of architecture to have effect in the world resides in these very specific documents that allude to the modes through which contemporary architecture circulates but also suggest how architecture is produced today.

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.

We spoke with Elias Redstone on how we are confronting the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on our practice. Check out Wallpaper’s new ‘World View’ series, which this week features yours truly among other local designers hailing from Melbourne. Link here.

We are pleased to have one of our favourite residential projects featured on the Design Files! Family Framework House – A space efficient home filled with  colour! Link here.

Excited to make the Dulux Colour Awards shortlist for two of our projects this year. Both the Darebin Arts Centre and the Glassbook House have a strong navy look, complemented by warm golden tones. Congratulations to all other shortlisted entries!

Wishing everyone safety and sanity during this unprecedented time of lock down. We are so fortunate to be able to keep up with business as usual whilst working from the safety of our homes. We are grateful for the essential workers who keep things ticking, this extends also to our builders who continue to progress things safely on site. A big thank you from all of us at Sibling <3

We have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with award-winning First Nations artist and choreographer Amrita Hepi to design a dance floor for the Summer of Dance program at the Immigration Museum. Amrita and her collaborators  will take over the Long Room with An Extimate Surface: a program of film, performance and installation that sees place and dance making in action.
