street corner landscaped with blocks of stone in informal seating groups

four photographs of a street corner landscaped with blocks of stone in informal seating groups, with suggestive seat backs, and a ramp up to a higher seating area

four diagrams, one showing a masterplan for a street corner with amphitheatre seating, a design response, and two views of the final design with dispersed informal seating groups

Openwork’s rather lovely new corner of #GertrudeSt & #BrunswickSt for #YarraCityCouncil, with rocks forming seats distributed in groups across the site rather than in a single corner auditorium as the masterplan suggested.

paintings of a hedgehog and a big cat, and a framed photo of Mount Fuji rising above a Japanese convenience store

a wall painting in a garage and paintings on two garage doors

a painting on the side of a building at the end of a laneway

two photographs, one of stairs with the risers welcomingly showing the pride progress flag, the other showing ledges at sitting height on the edge of a building filled in with sharp angled edges

When you’re an inner city charity with a huge landholding but low liquidity seeking to overdevelop your site with no public consultation - of course the NIMBYs panic! #BrotherhoodOfStLaurence #BSL #BrunswickSt NB their existing 4-storey building: 12 stories is 3x this, not the drawn monster!
