80 Collins Commercial Building / Woods Bagot + UNStudio + Seventh Wave + Jouin Manku

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Sat, 29 Oct 2022 18:00:00 +0000

The intimacy of density is distilled in 80 Collins—the first mixed-use city block introduced to the top-end of Collins Street in over two decades. There are four parts —a new commercial tower, a hotel, an existing commercial tower renovation, and a podium base linking the entire block. It’s the legacy of the renowned heritage-listed Nauru House (North Tower) that was the catalyst for the design approach. Yet, for the new South Tower to hold its own against the likes of 101 Collins, 120 Collins, and Collins Place—differentiation was key.

Seizing the opportunity to photograph the distinctive braided riverbed seeded a prescient and crucial design idea.

Sculptform Design Studio / Woods Bagot

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 20:00:00 +0000

Blurring the line between retail space and installation, Sculptform’s is a brilliant ‘working showroom’ case study for just how impactful design can be when local manufacturing and quality craftsmanship come together. Sculptform is a bespoke feature wall and ceiling manufacturer whose factory is in Bendigo (two hours from Melbourne). It makes sense to establish a statement showroom in central Melbourne to be physically closer to industry groups, other manufacturers and architectural collaborators. When Woods Bagot was invited to a design competition for the new showroom, the team threw caution to the wind and really got creative in their design response. They determined the space would be a testament to Sculptform’s expertise, design passion and craftsmanship philosophy.

St. Andrews Beach Villa / Woods Bagot

Daniel Tapia — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 06:00:00 +0000

Retrospective and contemporary, St Andrews Beach Villa demonstrates the enduring potential of architecture and its ability to respond to climatic and natural sand dune diversity. After 20 years of incremental and major additions, various manipulations and with a weather-worn patina, the St Andrews Beach Villa has settled into its natural and adjusted landscape to become one with its overall context. Both framing and becoming part of, the undulating landscape, the villa improvises and adjusts its personality by performing various shaded sequences in response to the quickly changing weather patterns. The main idea is one of linkages and responses to its context as a dialogue and exchange between nature and building.

The Amberly Office + Residential Building / Woods Bagot

Andreas Luco — Sat, 28 Sep 2019 19:00:00 +0000

This 37-story building is the firm’s first tower in North America. The large-scale, mixed-use development resides at the intersection of some of New York’s fastest-growing neighborhoods: Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO and Downtown Brooklyn. The form, materiality and open spaces were designed specifically for the scale of Downtown Brooklyn, the creative ambiance of DUMBO and the material character of brownstone Brooklyn. Comprised of 270 apartments varying from studios, one-,two-, and three-bedroom units, tenants have access to retail, commercial and below-grade parking areas and a fitness center. The pattern of the warm terracotta-colored façade was determined by the building’s uses. Opaque panels cover the bathrooms, while the living and dining areas are flooded with natural light through floor-to-ceiling vision glass, as well as those expansive views. Some of the apartments have terraces—a luxury for such a dense city—as well as rooftop access.

Tidal Arc House / Woods Bagot

Daniel Tapia — Sat, 01 Jun 2019 19:00:00 +0000

Eschewing the colonial planning grid and repetition of the local timber clad cottage in favor of sensitivity to the topographical context, Woods Bagot has departed from the prevailing Australian beach house vernacular with a self-assured, three-story dwelling named for its distinctive curved form mimicking the massive water movement of the Southern Ocean. The house deals with two scales; one in balance to the overall majestic coastal landscape and the other at a more intimate and tactile interior level of material and spatial contrast.

Collective Dwelling C.F.Row / Woods Bagot

Andreas Luco — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 17:00:00 +0000

C.F.Row at 237 Napier Street sits within the rich urban fabric of Melbourne's oldest inner city suburb of Fitzroy, a bricolage of building types and scale, a collective body of dwellings marked by the patina of time. The site was the home of a premier furniture maker in the postwar years, which visitors and residents can see in the exterior, which uses the original brick façade of the former building.
