Carme Pinós's 2018/19 MPavilion

I recently had the pleasure of capturing the 2018/2019 MPavilion by Spanish architect Carme Pinós. The pavilion was expertly reconstructed by Erbauer in it’s permanent home at Monash University’s Peninsula campus, late in 2024. In time, the pavilion has settled beautifully in the surrounding native plant life and is used regularly for social events, informal gatherings, and academic talks.

Halcyon Walk 2 & 3 by Housing First Limited and H2o Architects

If you’re a regular here you may have seen 1 Halcyon Walk that I shot back in 2023 for Housing First Limited, with construction of buildings two and three commencing around me. Fast forward to late 2024 and I was back there to shoot those now completed buildings. How wonderful to see it come together with garden views from the apartments and great indoor and outdoor common areas for the lucky seniors that reside there. It’s a lovely little collection of buildings designed by H2o Architects, with their signature yellow throughout and built by Minicon Construction.

An updated gem by Rosstang Architects

Mother Nature is always generous when I work with Rosemary Ross and Waihan Tang of Rosstang Architects, and this sunny Monday back in March was no exception. Perfect blue sky and sunshine to shoot this beautiful update and addition to an old gem in Brighton. A clever use of space and stunning landscaping by Paul Pritchard made for a lovely day in the autumn sun.

Railway Place Pop Up Furniture

Spent a lovely afternoon in the sun with the Planning & Placemaking team at City of Boroondara, shooting their latest pop up furniture project. Here’s a few highlights from the shoot.

Obake Gardens at Secret Garden House

Seeing as though we’re out in the garden I thought I’d share some additional images shot for Obake Gardens from Secret Garden House by Amiconi Architects.

Mieke Pattison has done a stunning job of creating a secluded oasis and productive garden in one.

Superstructures by Sean Meilak

Something a bit different also shot earlier this month was “Superstructures”, the latest installation by Melbourne sculptor, Sean Meilak. I’ve been a fan of Sean’s work for a long time so it was lovely to spend some time up close with it.

Secret Garden House by Amiconi Architects

I watched this house being built - caught glimpses of it from the surrounding streets. It’s not too far from where I’m living while my house is being built. Despite having watched it, I was still surprised, delighted even, when I made my first site visit. The clever orientation of the studio at the street, the house at back and the gorgeous, productive garden in between. I just assumed it ran straight along the eastern boundary! The interiors are impressive too. Plenty of natural light from the northern facing doors to the garden but warm and cosy at the same time. A credit to the clever team behind it!
