Hosted by Architects David Lee and Marina Bourderonnet, it features different creative professionals in unscripted conversations that allow for thoughtful takes and personal discussions.

Pergola Extension / Krisna Cheung Architects

Modification of the terrace house in the inner suburb of Melbourne is a continuity of space exploration after family occupancy. The project aims to reflect and celebrate the previously designed ‘Studio Garage Façade’ by incorporating the polycarbonate sheeting into the roof and ceiling of the living and kitchen area, opening onto the backyard, and forming a pergola. The moments created through innovative roofing are an exciting journey to be taken on and shared by the clients. The angled polycarbonate roofing combined with an open plan of the residence’s corridor through to the backyard visually connects the indoors to the outdoors. The project’s open plan was made possible by relocating the kitchen and deleting the corridor in between the living and the backyard area where the kitchen bench joinery extending to the living area and the backyard transforms into shelves and a BBQ bench respectively, to create a fluid connection of spaces. The materiality of the joinery pays a tribute to the steel from the existing staircase designed in the 1990s and the family‐crafted timber bookshelves.

House of Canopies / STUDIO MOTLEY

Located on a linear site within a quiet residential community, the form of the house unfolds to envelop a generous garden court within. The three wings are distinct in function, containing a semi-covered party area in front and a private bedroom wing at the back.

Since time immemorial, caves have been used not only as residential spaces for human beings but also as cultural spaces. Seven students in the film <Dead Poets Society> gathered in a hideout, ‘cave,’ asking questions about life, and in Hollywood films, romantic narratives made between men and women have also been carried out inside caves.
