Launceston North Bank

Further to the news release regarding the North Bank Master Plan, we thought we would post a couple of images produced by our partners Oculus (Melbourne / Sydney based Landscape Architects). Our two studios have been working closely together with the Launceston Council to imagine the potential future of city’s river edge.

The master plan is in draft currently and going through a consultation process with the council.

Hazardous Speculations

To complement the exhibition “A Contested Landscape” at Domain House during the 10 Days on the Island Festival, we put together this series of images which speculates on other days, histories, spaces and lives that may have occurred in the building.

Ratho

Some photos from a recent site visit to Ratho, a historic farmstead in the Central Highlands and home also for the oldest golf course in the southern hemisphere.

Cumulus is working with our client to convert this property into a premium tourism destination which will include upgrades to the existing homestead to utilise it as the golf clubhouse and restaurant, and adapting the ancillary buildings into accommodation.

Where the Magic Happens?!

This image on Creative Innovation’s FaceBook site was too good not to repost. It describes the possibility of thinking outside ones normal boundaries… equally the circle labeled “Your Comfort Zone” could equally describe the “Extent of Your Experience”.

Something to think about?

Sustainability

We liked this quote because it sums up much of what we believe and strive towards as architects.

Long term value is impossible without sensory appeal, because if design doesn’t inspire, it is destined to be discarded. “In the end,” writes Sengalese poet Baba Dioum, “we conserve only what we love.” We don’t love something because it is nontoxic and biodegradable - we love it because it moves the head and heart….. When we treasure something, we’re less prone to kill it, so desire fuels preservation. Love it or lose it. In this sense, the old mantra could be replaced by a new one: If it’s not beautiful, it’s not sustainable. Aesthetic attraction is not a superficial concern- It’s an environmental imperative. Beauty could save the planet.

Courtyard Maker

Some recent CAD model images of a small extension to the rear of an existing weatherboard house in East Launceston. The new enclosure is located to take advantage of the rear of the site, which faces north, and in the process create two new courtyard spaces.

A Contested Landscape

As part of the 10 Days on the Island Festival, Domain House will be open to the public and act as the backdrop to a number of installations. The catalogue reads:

“A group of noted artists use the building as their ephemeral gallery to consider the concept of nature and culture, traditionally seen as opposites, a divide separating the wild from the tamed.

Guided by curator Noel Frankham, Professor of Art with the University of Tasmania, some of the artists explore the history, characteristics and fabric of Domain House while others respond to the exterior environment.

Artists featured in the exhibition include Lisa Anderson, Lucy Bleach, Patricia Brassington, Lindsay Broughton, Steven Carson, Ruth Frost, Megan Keating, Milan Milojevic, Brigita Ozolins, Geoff Parr, Troy Ruffels, Marie Sierra, David Stephenson, Lucia Usmiani, John Vella, Martin Walch and Paul Zika.”

Oh Deer.

Our xmas cards made it to some very interesting locations over the holiday period… and this photo was sent back from a client to show that our little reindeer had found company.
