Needling the crane through the existing slabs in our inner city office extensions. Bottom 2/3 floors existing, top 2/3 floors the addition. Crane cut into hollow floor planks, which will be removed to form a light well. Different paint colours on each floor of the old interiors. #alts&adds #alterationsandadditions #alterationsandadditionstoexistingoffices #creativeadaptation #buildingsremember #buildingsite #crane #constructionsite #building #insideoutside #paintcolours #lightwell #void #urbanarchitecture
Peak hour bus-scape, Clarence St. Not sure this is the most efficient form of public transport in the city. Why we need more heavy rail, metro, light rail & all forms of active transport. The idea surely is to pick the right mode for the right task, on the best route #clarencestreet #buses #trafficjam #transport #transportmode #publictransport #transportation #street #busscape #streetscape #peakhour @cityofsydney

Series double height screened balconies; #balanaminglane facade of our Majestic Theatre conversion.

Such a beautiful streetscape created by @cityofsydney’s Bourke st cycleway, soon to be continuous from Woolloomooloo almost to the airport. Always best when infrastructure tied to urban amenity, public space & safety improvements #cycleway #bourkestreetsydney #darlinghurst #urbandesign #streetdesign #publicdomain #urbanlandscape #civicdesign #sydneycycleways #streetsection #trafficcalming #publicproject #publicsydney
