This once tired, worn out house in Northcote is undergoing a bright, smart new renovation. The front of the house is being restored to its original condition, opening through to new, light filled living spaces and outdoor areas. It is now only a few weeks off completion, and we’re all excited!

The High Line

I came across this great train line redevelopment a few years ago while studying. Now, I’m revisiting anything to do with architecture and design in New York, in preparation of a holiday next year.

The High Line is an old raised train line in Manhattan. It was saved from demolition in 1999 and after much community involvement, is now an elevated public park.

We’re currently working on green roofs and green walls in the office – perhaps we could learn something from The High Line.

This is an ESD house we’re doing at the moment in Northcote. It is based on two garden pavilions – a day and night pavilion – linked with a spine. It’s still a couple of weeks off completion, but it’s looking great!
