In this issue, there is a small, aerial photo of central Christchurch (p. 50) which shows the cathedral – the lower end of its cruciform ruptured and cordoned off – with the imposing, rectangular new central library to its left. The beauty of this image is not just that it captures the architectural difference and the spatial relationship between the buildings but that it also shows the flow of history and a sense of temporal tension between the two structures. The Gothic Revivalist cathedral is all symbol. Its crucifixion metaphor is capped by a massive plane tree above the cross’ head; is it a halo, a crown of thorns or an approximation of the text on the tablet that, according to the Gospels, read ‘I.N.R.I.’? This cathedral and library are…

AARON PATERSON Writer WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THE ROCKET LAB SPACE (P.58)? Two things I love are big sheds for making cool stuff in and science fiction. The combination here was heaven for me – I was enthralled. IS IT DIFFICULT GIVING BIG, OPEN SPACES LIKE THIS A PERSONALITY? Not if you fill it with 17m-high rockets! The open plan of mission control will come alive when it is full of people watching a launch. HAS YOUR FIRM WORKED ON A PROJECT SIMILAR TO DGSE’S ROCKET LAB? We recently designed a wedding venue in a warehouse full of wine. The key was to make the open space feel more intimate – in this instance, by designing a light canopy and curtain to surround a dining table. It was very…

2019 INTERIOR AWARDS JURY

Located in the heart of Vinh, a city in North Vietnam, Nocenco Café by Vo Trong Nghia Architects is the result of a quest to create something new and iconic in a town populated by post-war, colonial-style buildings. Without changing the envelope of the existing seven-storeyed-building, the architects used bamboo, a lightweight, traditional material, to create a dynamic interior structure that has a sense of true authenticity relating to its location. The bamboo was able to be easily transported to the top floor and installed by a few workers without needing additional structural support. From within the enveloping structure, café patrons can enjoy extensive views across the rooftops towards the river and forests where the bamboo grows. The café was a short-listed finalist in the Creative Re-use category of the…

Amanda Harkness: What took you to London? Melanie McDaid: I studied architecture at the University of Auckland and then spent four years working here in Auckland with Scarlet Architects under Jane Aimer and Lindley Naismith. I worked on residential additions and alterations as well as commercial hospitality projects, like Soul Bar down at the viaduct. But I had always been drawn to London and my husband and I both wanted to head there for our careers. I was fortunate to walk straight into a job at PDP London, where I later became an associate. PDP is known for its integration of contemporary architecture within historic environments. Can you tell us about some of your projects? My first project was for the somewhat eccentric international fashion brand Opening Ceremony. It required…

2018 EAT DRINK DESIGN AWARDS

A restaurant in Melbourne inspired by temporary scaffolding, a tiny caravan for crêpes and a luxury winery hotel in a quaint country town – these are among the projects that were vying for the 2018 Eat Drink Design Awards. In this special issue, we celebrate this year’s winners, commendations and short-listed projects – an impressive collection of Australia’s best-designed bars, restaurants, cafés, retail spaces for food and drink, temporary environments, hotels and visual identities for all.

2018 EAT DRINK DESIGN AWARDS

Winner Best Bar Design Designer Sans-Arc Studio Location Adelaide, South Australia Jury comment — Malt & Juniper is a small Adelaide bar that maximises a compact space and tight budget through a cohesive vision expressed in considered details. Even as the jury assessed and appreciated the design elements – the rich wood playing off the green marble, the textured concrete, the chamfer on the end of the banquette – it was a compelling feeling that “we want to be there” that made Malt & Juniper such a strong candidate. Though intimate, the space feels convivial and a pleasing interplay of expanse and cosiness is expressed, for example, in the theatre of a sliding bar ladder, which creates verticality, or the secluded high-backed booths. A sense of welcome is crucial to…

Winner Best Restaurant Design Designer Russell & George Location Melbourne, Victoria Jury comment — A standout entry, this Japanese kaiseki restaurant beautifully ties together design and the dining experience. The harmony and intertwining of nature, artistry, balance and flow are key to the kaiseki style of dining; they are also evident at Ishizuka, a basement restaurant that is somehow conservative and radical at once. Even before entering the dining room, Ishizuka’s sense of place and occasion come to the fore with a large backlit lantern egg greeting diners, sweeping them in and signalling the narrative about to unfold. The interior is epic but muted, dignified, almost filmic, suffusing the restaurant with texture, tone and a sense of mystery. The balance of nature and human agency is expressed through the interplay…

Winner Best Café Design Designer Ritz & Ghougassian Location Fitzroy, Victoria Jury comment — There is so much in this project to like. The jury appreciates the way the design is a response to the space, first and foremost, embracing the heritage of the building with sensitivity and giving it new life, without being beholden to trends. Detaching the new entity from the shell creates tension and interest, while the tones, textures and layers are embracing and soothing. The raw materiality of the brickwork harmonises with the rich leather tones, bringing a sense of richness and comfort, along with little surges of curiosity. Linking indoors with outside adds to the considered, holistic feel and helps anchor the café. There’s a lovely balance of the gridded and structured, the soft and…

Chandon Australia

Winner Best Retail Design Designer Foolscap Studio Location Coldstream, Victoria Jury comment — The Chandon tasting room and boutique are successful showcases of the brand, elevating it to international standards with impressive design. The jury remarked on the sense of presence; the airy space has generous and comfortable dimensions, with excellent flow from zone to zone, while a connection to landscape allows a sense of rawness to hover at the perimeter. The design aesthetic is feminine, which perfectly personifies the brand, while a bubble motif threaded through it complements the product. Clearly, the budget was generous, speaking to the premium aspirations of the brand, but we saw nothing gaudy or showy; there’s restraint and the luxury of ease rather than lavish display. As a retail space, it works well; there’s…

Chandon Australia

Winner Best Installation Design Designer Daryl Jackson Alastair Swayn Architects Location Canberra, Australian Capital Territory Jury comment — A mobile wine bar that pops up on public land in Canberra, the Pop Inn is an excellent expression of all the jury hoped to see in this category. We are impressed by the idea, the execution and the attention to detail, especially on such a small budget. The cube as a whole is a considered architectural statement that unfolds to reveal a welcoming, surprising and practical space, bringing form and texture to an essentially simple and transportable structure. The front steps add formality and a sense of occasion while also contributing to the friendly and open feel as they double as seating zones. The LED lighting and perforated metal skin are…

Winner Best Identity Design Designer Crafty Design Location Adelaide, South Australia Jury comment — A laneway restaurant in the centre of Adelaide, Shobosho’s visual identity reflects and amplifies the nature of the business itself: a fire-focused kitchen turning out modern Japanese cuisine. There’s an innovative use of painted neon signage with the lighting appearing burning hot, almost shimmering, bringing the identity to life in physical form. This not only matches the charcoal-driven food offering but is also picked up by other visual identity and interior design elements of the business. The jury appreciates the way the physical qualities of the signage and its vertical position tie the venue to its street setting, creating impact and vibrancy. Design statement — The brief for this project was to create a modern Japanese-inspired…

Brae Restaurant Accommodation

Winner Best Hotel Design Designer Six Degrees Architects Location Birregurra, Victoria Jury comment — The overnight accommodation at Brae complements the homestead restaurant and expands the hospitality offering for diners. The rooms are approachable, authentic, handcrafted and personal in scale. The jury is impressed by the pleasing balance of the humble and the luxurious, the hard and the soft, the new and the timeless. Design elements reference the farm shed, contributing to a sense of being anchored in the rural landscape while thoughtful detailing and impeccable finishes elevate the experience. Though the design is highly considered, it’s embracing and comfortable, befitting of country accommodation, which transcends demographics and is open to all. We appreciated the seamless connection to the ethics of the restaurant in the use of local labour resources…

THE THIRD PLACE

PROJECT: Tuūranga CLIENT: Christchurch City Council LOCATION: Christchurch DESIGN: Architectus with Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects PROJECT TYPE: Civic FLOOR AREA: 9,500m2 IF YOU HAVE set foot in a library in the last 20 years, you may have noticed a change. Gone are the shushing librarians, the rows of dusty shelves and the stagnant atmosphere; conversation is now welcome, technology is everywhere and, perhaps strangely to some, books, while still very important, are no longer the sole focus. The library has become the ‘third place’: a place anyone can go to for whatever reason, be it to study, to research or to seek haven and rest as a parent, traveller or homeless person. Tūranga, designed locally by Architectus in association with Danish library specialists Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects, is the new central library in Christchurch, replacing the…

THE THIRD PLACE

PROJECT/CLIENT: Rocket Lab Auckl and Production Complex LOCATION: Auckland DESIGN: Designgroup Stapleton Elliott PROJECT TYPE: Workplace “OPEN THE pod bay doors, Hal”. So goes one of the most famous lines in cinema, when HAL 9000, the sentient computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey, has gone rogue. I hear the line when I walk through the portal into Rocket Lab’s brand-new head office. It’s no surprise to find out that Rocket Lab chief executive Peter Beck is a fan of the Stanley Kubrick movie and science fiction in general. Rocket Lab’s new facilities in Mount Wellington, Auckland, were opened by none other than Star Trek’s William Shatner. As part of the New Zealand/American company’s plan for aerospace dominance in the delivery of small satellites into low Earth orbit, a new rocket-building factory, together with research…

What was your brief? The original brief comprised a new facility made up of three parts: the first was a new reception zone to showcase everything Rocket Lab is about, from high-end design to creating a bespoke product to deliver the specific requirements for each small satellite launch client. The second zone was to support Rocket Lab’s most important asset – its people. This zone would be more than just office space – rather, it was about creating a workplace environment to enhance connectivity and creativity. The third zone was the production incubator – a high-end rocket factory where ideas were to be transformed into reality and constructed to the highest international standards. Designgroup Stapleton Elliott (DGSE) worked in close partnership with Rocket Lab for the first zone, with the…

DESIGN FOR AGING

We hear a lot about retirement these days but it’s easy to forget how recent an idea retirement even is. For most of history, if you were alive but not rich, you worked – relying on family and charity for any assistance you required as you aged. Although many would have experienced the Great Depression and some even war; the parents of baby boomers were the first to experience anything similar to modern-day childhood and teenage years and were the first to retire en masse with any sort of quality of life. At the same time, their kids, the baby boomers, were the first generation to grow up being analysed, pulled apart and pitched to by a consumer industry that, by the 1950s, was really finding its feet. Growing up…

What are some of the largest changes you see happening in the aged-care business? With the baby-boomer generation now reaching retirement age, there is more demand for an active-aging approach to life and, indeed care. The boomers are independent and want to remain that way for as long as possible. Retirement (or ‘non-retirement’) is considered a new and exciting chapter in their lives, with new experiences and ideas to be explored and enjoyed. Aging is no longer seen as a medical issue; rather, it is more about a person’s well-being. We now look at ‘person-directed living’ and participatory care models, where individuals tell us what they need and require for their personal well-being. As a result of the changing requirements of those moving into retirement villages and residential care, we…

LEADING THE INDUSTRIAL RE-REVOLUTION

WHAT IS THE INDUSTRIAL RE-REVOLUTION? Industry has progressed us forward as humans but the implications for the environment have been detrimental at best. The idea of the Industrial Rerevolution is to acknowledge the fact that industry is necessary for the way the economy works in the human world but to explore new ways of making it work that do not cause harm and, in fact, drive positive change for the Earth. In order to meet the carbon emission targets needed to combat catastrophic climate change, the corporate sector must change the way it works. A key way for corporations to ensure they stay within carbon emission targets is through the use of organisations such as thinkstep, which helps to assess a company’s environmental footprint and set a clear pathway for…

LEADING THE INDUSTRIAL RE-REVOLUTION

Tell us a bit about thinkstep and the work it does. Thinkstep Australasia works to enable companies to succeed sustainably. We are locally owned and part of the global thinkstep group. We started out doing life cycle assessment (LCA) in the early 1990s. LCA looks at the full environmental performance of a product or service, or even of a whole company. This is called either cradle to grave, if you are looking at the ‘take, make, waste’ linear model of the economy, or cradle to cradle, if you’re talking about how you can design products for a circular economy. Our work involves taking a systems-based approach, thinking about products and systems as a whole and focusing on the needs they meet and the functions they fulfil. If you think about…

What are you working on at the moment? At work, there are some fantastic projects on the boil, including a sculptural white concrete house. Outside of work, I have a neat little ‘upcycling’ project where we are creating a family home on the west coast of Auckland. With a volatile housing market and high building costs, we had to get a bit creative. So, we’ve bought a couple of 1960’s state houses for a song and linked them together and punched a few extra holes in and out. It’s pretty cool seeing your house turn up on the back of a truck in the middle of the night. Is there an architectural style that inspires you? No, not any ‘style’ in particular but I did spend some time in Brazil…
