Pilar Caballero — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Situated in a medium-density suburb, Burnley is a composed urban infill to a row of townhouses that has replaced the formerly dominant terrace houses in the area. Sheltered behind the hit-and-miss brickwork is a tranquil home with robust materiality, unexpected sky views, and access to plenty of greenery.

Located on the edge of commercial industrial development and adjacent to a residential area, 'Sanders Place' is the conversion of a 1970s two-storey brick factory into a co-working space. Through a collaborative design approach, the existing internalised building, with little connection to the street and surrounding laneways, was reworked into a light-filled, naturally ventilated space with four courtyards that interact with passers-by and neighbours.

This adaptive reuse project in Swan Street Richmond became the new home for our multidisciplinary design studio after we outgrew our previous location in Melbourne’s CBD.

Hot Top Peak House / FIGR Architecture & Design

Hana Abdel — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 01:00:00 +0000

Situated in the bustling suburb of Richmond in Melbourne, amidst the constant movement of delivery trucks, bicycles, and never-ending vehicle traffic, a notable architectural project emerges. Occupying a modest 175m2 site with dual street frontages, this residence is an experiment in the possibilities of urban densification. Here, within the confines of this minute space, a home is carefully crafted, reflecting the vibrance and richness of its surroundings.

Periscope House / Architecture Architecture

Hana Abdel — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 18:00:00 +0000

A periscope, washed-up on the beach. The oceans must be full of them and yet this is quite unexpected: half buried with its ends poking out like a happy seaworm, chatting to its tail. The tides have washed it crystalline; mirrors bend the light to fill its buried chambers. A single sunlit passage, coursing through the sand.

T2 Residence / fyc architects

Rayen Sagredo — Thu, 18 Oct 2018 18:00:00 +0000

Within a constrained inner city block no more than 147sqm, the brief was to construct a single family residence that felt spacious, with a minimum of 3 bedrooms and sizeable courtyard that could provide the potential of onsite carparking. To accommodate the spatial requirements, the only was up; with sleeping and private quarters upstairs and public living spaces, and guest bedroom downstairs. Sited along north side of a street that are characterised by workers cottages of the early 1900s, its opposite is characterised by residential warehouse conversions, the proposal walks the tightrope between the old and the new. As a nod to the prolific housing typology of the area, through its use of materials, T2 Residence reinterprets the workers cottage into a modern timber clad family home that adopts the idyllic image of the 'house', carrying it through to the details exampled in the profile of its front fence.

Rayen Sagredo — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Sited at the edge of the Virginia Commonwealth University campus in Richmond, Virginia, the new Institute for Contemporary Art links the University with the surrounding community. On the busiest intersection of Richmond at Broad and Belvidere Streets, the building forms a gateway to the University with an inviting sense of openness. The main entrance is formed by an intersection of the performance space and Forum, adding a vertical “Z” component to the “X-Y” movement of the intersection. The torsion of these intersecting bodies is joined by a “plane of the present” to the galleries in “forking time.”

Rayen Sagredo — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 09:00:00 +0000

The open design of the ICA features dynamic exhibition and programming spaces that can be creatively activated in order to support widely varied forms of contemporary art. The glass walls and windows create continuity between the interior and exterior spaces of the building. On the first floor, a 4,000-square-foot gallery and café, bar, and concept shop radiate from the ICA’s central forum and frame an outdoor garden, which Steven Holl describes as the “Thinking Field,” that will be used for social gatherings and public programs. The first floor also features a state-of-the-art 240-seat auditorium for film screenings, performances, lectures, and other programs. The second floor includes two forking galleries and an adaptable “learning lab” for interactive engagement. It also includes a publicly accessible terrace, featuring one of four green roofs. The third floor features a gallery with soaring, 33-foot-high walls and houses one of the administrative suites and the boardroom. Additional staff offices are located in the building’s lower level, which also includes a lobby for visitors, art storage and preparation facilities, a fabrication workshop, a green room, the catering kitchen, and general storage.
