Innovative Design and Adaptable Living can appear in the same sentence…

http://changeobserver.designobserver.com/entry.html?entry=14058

Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson has written a great piece on adaptable living and housing for our “older citizens” – a relevant topic considering our aging population and the changing face of the over 45 demographics. The article features liquidARCHITECTURE’s Coal Point house, and here we pay tribute to our fabulous clients who helped us make this project such a success.

architecture students talk straight about what they are (and are not) learning….

Last Saturday, this legendary night owl arose at 4:30am, hung out with a bunch of coffee addicts at Sydney Airport T2, took a 6.15am flight to Melbourne and upon arrival then drove for 2 hours. All in the good name of research. Why? Well, I was kindly offered the opportunity to conduct a focus group with SONA student  representatives from most universities across Australia, to specifically discuss the topic of construction education. And what did they say?…. Read on.

Interior Design Friday issue 01

Each Friday we’re going to try and do a quick interior design blog post from our projects, because we believe that experiencing architecture is about the small details as much as the big ideas and urban interventions.

Hot pot, karaoke and Chinese gardens

After an epic journey from Beijing comprising of three subways, an aeroplane and a crazy taxi, I arrived at Shangai railway station to discover all the trains to Suzhou were full until 9:30pm – it was then 3 in the afternoon. After six hours sitting in the grubby ‘soft seat’ waiting room with a suitcase and a pack of Mentos for company, being stared at (that’ll be the blonde hair), the train finally came, and it turned out I was taking a sleeper car for the 45 minute journey.

egresStudio are powering ahead with their ‘Three Houses at Pokolbin’ project.

Now that the DA submission has been lodged with Cessnock City Council, the four students from Newcastle University who make up egresStudio are hard at work on the construction documentation, both for CC and detailed construction. As the design and construct project of the proposed three short-stay tourist houses is likely to be assessed by Council by late February, it’s all systems go working with the consultants for this stage of the project. In particular, consideration and integration of the structural engineering specifications and details continues to introduce new levels of knowledge and experience into the project.

Alongside the integration of the structural and other engineering requirements is the review of fixtures, finishes and material selections, all of which is starting to come to the fore. Once the DA is determined the students are looking forward to getting on site and getting their hands dirty. Once the egresStudio are still looking for material sponsors for the project, with the promise of extensive publicity both once the project is underway and at completion. Interested persons can contact egresStudio at egresStudio@hotmail.com

liquidARCHITECTURE runs on….

… Arnotts Ginger Nut biscuits!
I have been threatening to proclaim the goodness of the Ginger Nut when I found out our new website was going to have a blog. Did you know that Ginger Nuts in NSW are different to the ones they sell in QLD? In fact, the current theory in the office is that the last few packets we’ve bought have far too much ginger in them to be suitable for the tastes of New South Welshmen. Yes – somehow, product destined for a QLD supermarket has mysteriously ended up at Northbridge Woolworths….and in our office bikkie jar!

And how will I cope when I am overseas on my travelling scholarship? Oh it’s true – the humble Ginger Nut has been elevated to the same status as Vegemite in our northside office. And tipping our hats to the local caffeine distributor, there is nothing better than a fresh coffee from the NOC and a stack of Ginger Nuts. Oh yeah, I can see our collective dentists rolling their eyes right now …
