Rosie and Peter are an "art" client who desire extremes of their architect. My dear friend Neville Quarry recommended our firm and we are close friends with Peter and Rosie after years of working together on this and other projects.

Eileen Gray and Corbusier reminded us of what it was we had to do to mitigate gravity with built form against the sky

The Project was a commission that required the redevelopment of two existing commercial sites into a mixed commercial and residential site.

The design involved a strategy to keep all the significant vegetation and to work around the trees and pockets of landscape in order to encapsulate the existing site's character. In this way the sporadic green pockets and "urban grain".

Amidst this landscape is a series of "pavilions". These "pavilions" on steel legs frame views, capture light, yield to tress and offer a safe high refuge from the business of the street in a courtyard environment. The trees have inspired the patterns painted on the buildings and the structures present.

All patterns and forms present are in turn inspired by organic architectural notions and are interpretations of the paintings and rugs of the architect Eileen Gray as well as the colour palette book "Architecture Polychromie" by the architect Le Corbusier
