Avondale Heights Library & Learning Centre

Architecture - Commercial - Constructed

Avondale Heights in Moonee Ponds is a typical Australian ‘place’.

The Avondale Heights Library and Learning Centre embraces this place, concentrates and reflects it to achieve an expressive local identity. Moonee Ponds was famously satirized by Australian comic Barry Humphries. Later, artists like Howard Arkley changed perceptions of Australian suburbia in a series of bold, luridly depicted and highly charged paintings. The design was inspired by a response to Humphries’ satire and Arkley’s suburban iconography.

Queenscliff Residence

Architecture - Residential - Constructed

This house acts as an optical instrument, a series of devices that frame views beyond the abutting foreshore to the south toward the Heads of Port Phillip Bay. The most significant promenade through the house takes you from the street, along a gently stepped path, to the entry stair, where you are sufficiently elevated to appreciate the view as you arrive at the uppermost level. The careful choreography of this sequence is amplified by materiality and adjacencies: fine timber detailing, woven wicker and calacatta marble in the kitchen. The experience on entry is private and cocooned from the exterior. Once above, the views expand and are focussed on the horizon of the ocean to the south.
