House of Fortune / Dean Dyson Architects

Andreas Luco — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 19:00:00 +0000

Paying homage to Collingwood's industrial past, House of Fortune by Dean Dyson Architects, restores heritage while embracing innovation and social connection. Stepping into Dean Dyson's studio, the clients described wistful reminiscing of Collingwood's industrial past and shared childhood memories of neighbourly engagement and social connection. These stories inspired Dyson, as lead architect, to weave cherished memories into the very soul of the home. Stepping beyond functionality, the design incorporated "nostalgic feelings" through layout and material choices. The brief to Dean Dyson Architects centred upon values of family connection and adaptation.

Valeria Silva — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 20:00:00 +0000

T3 Collingwood Office Building / Jackson Clements Burrows Architects

Hana Abdel — Fri, 17 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The client came to us with an ambitious brief – to design a mass timber office building that aligned with its T3 corporate strategy, which focuses on transit, timber, and technology and was developed in response to growing demand for local authenticity, sustainability, and urban and social connectivity. The challenge lay in marrying this brief with Collingwood’s rich industrial context, characterized by elegant warehouses, narrow streets, vibrant arts precincts, and an evolving, progressive demographic.

Feline Ski Chalet / Atelier RZLBD

Paula Pintos — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Feline Chalet is a ski chalet situated on a beautiful rural landscape in Collingwood, which has views towards two mountains – the Blue Mountain on the north-west and the Osler Bluff on the south-west – and a small creek flowing into Georgian Bay on the east end. Responding to the rich and complex characteristics of the site and the client’s vision for a refuge, the project is resolved into three discrete structures – the public/living / ceremonial (the “hut”), the transitional (the “bridge”), and the private / sleeping / functional (the “cave”) – arranged from west to east respectively on the north edge of the site.

Zero Gipps Office Building / SJB

Andreas Luco — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 20:00:00 +0000

Zero Gipps is a unique workplace creating a ripple of quiet intrigue in historic Collingwood, Melbourne. A peaceful sanctuary set against the suburb’s industrial backdrop, this six-story building is far from a typical office space. The long and linear site presented an opportunity to open the building from the middle via the laneway rather than a prominent street address - a simple design move that resolved circulation issues, enhanced solar access and natural ventilation, and improved building connectivity. A small cafe and communal garden courtyard greet users on arrival as well as an outdoor staircase promoting active movement throughout the building.

Learning From Manaus: Getting to Know the Work of Laurent Troost Architecture

Helena Tourinho — Tue, 23 May 2023 05:00:00 +0000

Architecture involves mobilizing several aspects of the environment where the building is located: the socio-cultural, political and economic context, aesthetics, legislation, and functionality. Functionality includes use efficiency, occupancy, and comfort. Laurent Troost's work has shown the articulation between these various factors, with particular attention to comfort, especially thermal comfort. His projects prioritize natural ventilation over artificial air conditioning, which has become almost mandatory in current city models.

Renovations: Where to Start?

Giovana Martino — Sun, 02 Oct 2022 06:30:00 +0000

With the scarcity of open spaces, the high concentration of empty buildings in areas already consolidated in cities, and an awareness of the impact of new constructions on the environment, refurbishments are increasingly part of both the architect's work routine and the client's choice. At the same time, they are often synonymous with unexpected surprises and problems, causing delays and discomfort. This text presents four pre-work strategies that can help you better prepare for this moment.

Tinderbox House / Breathe Architecture

Daniel Tapia — Mon, 15 Jul 2019 18:00:00 +0000

Early site inspections at the c.1887 former Foy and Gibson historic brick warehouse complex revealed an apartment fit out with a series of unfortunate conversions. Perhaps described best as a ‘fire-trap’, we began exploring conceptual possibilities relating to the tinderbox and its three core elements. Comprising flint, tinder, and firesteel, this common 18^thcentury fire starting kit inspired a material narrative. Accent colors in red and yellow, light timbers with exposed joists and battens, exposed metalwork, and charred or blackened finishes formed the palette for the loft refurbishment.

Peel Street / DKO + Design Office

Daniel Tapia — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 16:00:00 +0000

There are few suburbs in Melbourne that have arguably as strong of a personality or local street culture as Collingwood, the inner north of Melbourne. In the past ten years we have seen a strong push towards increased density and desirability due to its proximity to the CBD, but more importantly because of the street, food and art culture. The gentrification of Collingwood has come at a cost, with many examples of middle-class values driving certain flavors and styles of development and architectural style.

Campbell Street / DKO + SLAB

Rayen Sagredo — Sun, 06 Jan 2019 21:00:00 +0000

Campbell Street is a study in pushing multi residential architecture and vertical living to the limits. The dwelling lot sizes are 4m in width and 9m in length, 36m2 in total per dwelling, or 72m2 total site area. A density of 140 dwellings per hectare. The average city lot size in 2016 in Melbourne was 400m2, more than 10 times the size of our site. There are two dwellings side by side, identical in dimension but not layout. Each house aspires to provide the traditional three-bedroom housing typology squeezed, stacked and blurred. Not only were we fascinated by working with such constraints, but we were intrigued by offering solutions and alternatives to city living that are outside the conventional market offerings.
