I’m much less fond of heights these days but I’ve found that it can be greatly alleviated by having my hand firmly holding on to a railing. I’ve no doubt that the mesh is secure but psychologically the lack of that handrail would limit my ability to enjoy the openness. Otherwise, a great looking project!
Nice project. You probably heard of Andrew Maynard from Andrew Michler, he’s raved about his work for years 😃 What’s the relevance of NZ having low carbon electricity grid to a project in Melbourne?
Their development model is really exciting and seems to be successful also: https://www.nightingalehousing.org Some good videos on YouTube with Jeremy McLeod of Breath architecture, who started it all, exposing their approach.
Thanks for highlighting this exciting project and firm! I think I found them a few years back when searching for info about work life balance for architects. My recollection was they had a manifesto of sorts on their website. I was equally impressed by that and the work itself.
Love this, especially the yellow. We owned a condo in Portland Maine for a few years. At my insistence, we painted the long kitchen wall bright yellow. My wife hated it. When we sold it, the buyer said she loved everything about it except for the yellow wall.

How would a handrail plus the steel mesh do?
That would address my issue though it might irritate the architect
Great building!
I'm jealous of the climate :-)
One of my favourite architects since being made aware of their work, in one of your TH articles if I'm not mistaken.
Andrew and Kevin have one of the best architecture related channels on YouTube, called Archimarathon, well worth watching if anyone is interested.
STOP REMINDING ME THAT I LIVE ON THE WRONG CONTINENT!!!
I love the idea of that mesh. If you can’t go over it or through it, I like it, but I haven’t actually stood there …
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

I think it is likely the other way around, I first wrote about Andrew Maynard in 2005, long before I learned about Andrew Michler or you!
Haha, could be true!
