Today we had Rachael from @bluetreestudiosmelbourne in the office taking staff portraits. A long time coming with all the lockdowns and restrictions we’ve had this year, it was great to have her back and see everyone looking their best!

A great video from Cricket Victoria featuring our Reid Oval Redevelopment in Warrnambool.
With commentary from Gary McLean from Nestles Cricket Club, Gordon McLeod from the Warrnambool & District Cricket Association, and Debbie Arnott from Warrnambool City Council, who refers to the pavilion as “our star attraction”.
This clip really highlights the community lead design approach we have at Brand, and why we are so inspired by the communities and clubs we get to meet and work with.

Revisiting our Newport Gardens Early Years Hub, completed in 2013. The hub design incorporated a range of community services including four childcare rooms, two kinder rooms, a maternal and child health clinic, a toy library/multi-purpose room, and a Yooralla consulting suite.
The building was arranged around a central playground courtyard facing the adjacent school playing fields, and enabled the kinder and childcare playgrounds to be arranged in a park-like setting. Separation between age groups in the playground was achieved through landscape elements, rather than fences.
The design was the result of a comprehensive consultation process with user groups and the adjacent primary school.
The project included a strong environmental component and achieved a ‘Best Practice‘ rating, with energy consumption 30% less than was required by the Australian Building Code.

Thornbury High School’s Sports Hall and Performing Arts Centre has transformed the school’s outdated facilities into an exemplar education setting that has revitalised the school for students, staff and the wider community. The Sports Hall and Performing Arts Centre includes a competition grade basketball court, gym, change rooms, a 360 seat capacity performance space, a digital media studio, four music spaces, a drama studio and workshop spaces.
An innovative approach to adaptive reuse saw the school’s outdated 1980s sports hall undergo a complex refit and re-skinning to become the new centre, with the project representing a major focus for reinvigorating the school’s image and further encouraging student engagement and participation. The Sports Hall and Performing Arts Centre has also become a civic asset for the local community and is in regular use outside school hours.
Materials were carefully chosen for their warmth, with a mixture of bright feature floor and wall finishes and natural timber cladding in high traffic areas. Lighting was replaced with LED strip lighting laid out to improve the overall feel of the space. Natural light flows into the centre of the old hall through a large clearstory light in the existing main roof, allowing for the otherwise internal space to become an inviting focal core that links all the main uses.
A testament to the project’s overwhelming success, Thornbury High School was chosen as the venue to deliver the 2020-21 Victorian State Budget announcement by Premier Daniel Andrews along with Deputy Premier and Minister for Education James Merlino.

An exciting project with GeelongPort and Spirit of Tasmania has been unveiled - Spirit of Tasmania’s new terminal building, set to be constructed at Corio Quay in Geelong later this year.
The design incorporates angled windows and sunshades over the glass façade that evoke images of the jagged contours of Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain and the icy waters of Dove Lake, which form a dramatic vista that can be enjoyed from the lake shores.
Cradle Mountain is synonymous with nature, wilderness, and all things pristine. The colour and materials palette was chosen accordingly, with the neutral greys and bronze colours reminiscent of the dolerite peak, often shrouded by cloud.
“The final design is both striking and functional and it will provide the hundreds of thousands of visitors to Victoria and Tasmania every year, a contemporary, comfortable and streamlined experience as part of their voyage,” said Brett Winter, GeelongPort Chief Executive Officer.

Revisiting our Community Hub designed for the suburb of Lucas, in the City of Ballarat, in 2018. The hub included a Maternal and Child Health Centre, Kindergarten and various Community Meeting Rooms connected by a flexible Community Gathering Space.
The building shape, patterns and colours were inspired by the Lucas Ladies, who pioneered the early textile industry of Ballarat. The bold colourful stitches, pleats, folds and ribbons on walls and soffits referenced the fervent activity of the dressmakers table.
The curved brick ‘Tartan’ walls that address the main entrances were inspired by Ballarat’s Scottish heritage, matching the pattern and colours of the official Ballarat ‘Tartan’.
The building was designed as a bold placemaking statement, rooted in Ballarat’s proud social history, to inspire the new Lucas community.

Calling all sweet tooths! As part of her studies with @ex_lab in her Masters of Architecture, Architectural Student Maddy (@mlaslett) designed and produced experimental furniture out of sugar. Hansel & Gretel are experiments in plasticity and critical moments in phase changes of material. Inspired by the working processes and translucency of glass, these stools take their form from the singular moment that the viscous flow of sugar paused and hardened. Because they represent a single moment in time, each stool is unique. The pulling process forms natural beams and elongated internal bubbles within the candy, lending structural integrity and textured vitreousity to the final products.
