Following on from my previous post about Eaglehawk Community Health Centre, I thought I’d share some drone images of this great little building by Darragh O’Brien and his team at EDB Architects. Beautiful as they are, those gums made it tricky to get clean images!

I first saw the Eaglehawk Community Health Centre on LinkedIn, it was a ‘nearing completion’ progress shot, I liked what I saw and was enormously pleased to be able to shoot and deliver the finished images. The weather gods were kind for most of the day despite a lacklustre forecast, and following a short dusk the building really sang at night. I’ve said it a number of times now, it reminds me a of a teamLab installation! A long and lovely day with Darragh and co at EBD Architects, assisted by the ever capable and helpful Kate McGovern.
I’m excited to be included in the INDE Awards shortlist this year in “The Photographer Commercial” category for “The Oak Centre”, Clonard College by Life Architecture & Urban Design (formerly CHT). This project was a pleasure to work on from start to finish so it was lovely to receive this news.

It’s been a little while since I shared a fixation. I’ve got a number waiting in the wings to share with you but this one, shot no too long ago, has jumped the queue. A bit like the last fixation, where I stumbled across something new in old territory, this one is just down the road from me in Richmond. It’s a carpark. Did you know I like carparks? Thing is, although I’m not traipsing through Richmond on foot all that often, I can’t believe I’ve never seen this before, in the 20 (wow!), yes 20 years that I’ve been living in Melbourne. Clearly this lot has been vacant for some time and likely a carpark for much of that time.
So this little gem of a site has all the things that cause me to fixate. Concrete, strong lines, colour, a touch of detritus, repetition, natural elements creeping in and the added bonus of the new and old stood together and also in the distant background.
To top it all off the sun was shining, I’ll revise that to beating, and the sky was perfect blue. A happy little occasion indeed.
I’m pleased to share another project recently published on InDesign Live, the beautiful Oak Centre at Clonard College by Life Architecture & Urban Design (formerly CHT). See the reel below or click through to full article.
Thanks to Indesign Media and in particular the ever impressive Jan Henderson, a number of my clients projects have hit the architecture media in the last few months. See below for links and read about these excellent projects:
I had the absolute pleasure of documenting ‘My Body is my Home’ a creative workshop inviting women and non-binary people to reconnect with their first sanctuary-the body. Led by Ingrid Voorendt (Back to Back Theatre) and Kate Sulan (Rawcus) at the stunning Tadao Ando, MPavillion, the workshop offered participants a space to reflect, move and anchor themselves amidst uncertainty. It was a gorgeous, albeit wet afternoon, capturing people interacting with architecture in interesting ways, to the sounds of haunting cello music by cellist Zoë Barry.
Anyone that knows me well will tell you I’m quite a private person and enjoy being on the side of the camera that I am. However, I recognise the importance of showing my face every now and then, so in the spirit of “showing my face” I shared some insights into my practice with Jan Henderson and the team at Indesignlive. You can have a quick look below or read the full profile here: https://www.indesignlive.com/people/elizabeth-schiavello. A big thanks to Jan Henderson for her kindness and generosity of spirit.
