Braemar College Steam Building by Hayball and Bowden

Left Melbourne on a sunny autumn day bound for Woodend a couple of months ago and spent the day at the base of Mount Macedon shooting a new STEAM building at Braemar College’s middle school campus. Designed by Hayball and built by Bowden Corporation it’s a lovely little building that will no doubt be enjoyed by students and teachers alike.

Alphington House by MAP Architects

Hiding behind this cool breeze block facade and striking yellow entrance is a comfortable urban home with lots of clever features and lush, landscaped, courtyard gardens. Designed by MAP Architects this inner northern oasis includes a concealed study and bar, Murphy bed and butler’s pantry. A fun day’s shooting earlier this year.

Halcyon Walk 2 & 3 by Housing First Limited and H2o Architects

If you’re a regular here you may have seen 1 Halcyon Walk that I shot back in 2023 for Housing First Limited, with construction of buildings two and three commencing around me. Fast forward to late 2024 and I was back there to shoot those now completed buildings. How wonderful to see it come together with garden views from the apartments and great indoor and outdoor common areas for the lucky seniors that reside there. It’s a lovely little collection of buildings designed by H2o Architects, with their signature yellow throughout and built by Minicon Construction.

Fixation 8

It’s been a little while since I shared a fixation. I’ve got a number waiting in the wings to share with you but this one, shot no too long ago, has jumped the queue. A bit like the last fixation, where I stumbled across something new in old territory, this one is just down the road from me in Richmond. It’s a carpark. Did you know I like carparks? Thing is, although I’m not traipsing through Richmond on foot all that often, I can’t believe I’ve never seen this before, in the 20 (wow!), yes 20 years that I’ve been living in Melbourne. Clearly this lot has been vacant for some time and likely a carpark for much of that time.

So this little gem of a site has all the things that cause me to fixate. Concrete, strong lines, colour, a touch of detritus, repetition, natural elements creeping in and the added bonus of the new and old stood together and also in the distant background.

To top it all off the sun was shining, I’ll revise that to beating, and the sky was perfect blue. A happy little occasion indeed.

St Kilda Road Office by Amicus

Another great little office by Amicus, this one for cosmetics company Devcos. Warm lights and fluted glass for a glam touch.
