Brolly Studios Graduate ArchitectMelbourne 2011- 2014

As one of Melbourne’s most thriving shared studio spaces, Brolly Studios has produced a number of innovative and forward thinking design concepts and projects including urban interventions, exhibition design, residential projects and a commercial developments. The latest addition to the studio was the inhouse cafe Flipboard Cafe.

My involvement at Brolly Studios included a number of residential, urban and commercial projects. My main focus was on Flipboard Cafe. I followed the project through form the start to completion. In 2011 I was also part of the team who founded, designed and built Brolly Studios. hospitalityFlipboard Cafe, (Melbourne CBD) 2012- 2013concept design, design development, tender, project management Flipboard Cafe, calved from a tiny lost site in the city, started off as a hole in the wall project and developed into a multi-level nook cafe. It is nestled in the intersection of an emergency exit from Bennetts Lane Jazz Club below, the thoroughfare to Brolly Studios behind, and a two decade old unused shop-front window. My role was to design, tender, project manage and build the cafe. With a tight budget of $100.000 this project was designed with the uttermost care and attention to detail creating diverse spatial experiences through level changes, nooks and outdoor cubbies on the footpath. My job was to liaise and negotiate with council, builders and consultants to achieve a result that suited our high standards. This project has been a great exploration of making a fuctional place that serves coffee but more so personal moments and stories.

To make a contribution to architecture that engages people with our built environment. I would like to collaborate with likeminded people and be part of a team that is passionate about creating architecture that keeps exploring new ways of architectural thinking.

The City of Wodonga is Victoria’s fastest growing regional city. This project involved using urban design as an agent for civic regeneration and to accommodate expected growth. The site of 108,000 m2 (10.8 Hectares) was an existing ‘brownfield’ site in central Wodonga. Our design proposed new streets, roads and public spaces that link existing urban fabric with new development parcels for a variety of uses.
