An Angle on FMD Architects

Jeffrey Burk — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 05:51:19 +0000

Architect Fiona Dunin is doing great things at FMD Architects. Her work incorporates unique details – take a look and you’ll see what I mean.

Interesting use of mirror. Love the snow white kitchen and the bookshelves. Must have books near the kitchen.

Unique faceted detail above window, L shaped protrusion and angular shelf.

I’m enjoying the sculptural qualities of her walls.

Another sculptural wall treatment, the additive wall element is in the form of cabinetry.

Big beautiful doors bring the outdoors in.

Great website. Design by Monkii.

Admiring Aesop.

Jeffrey Burk — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:19:54 +0000

Enticing. There is something quite alluring about seeing multiples grouped into categories. You’re drawn in by the neat displays, you want to get closer, handle. I admire the architect designed collaborations Aesop uses for their retail stores.

Unforgettable use of corrugated materials for product display. Aesop Flinders Lane designed by March Studio.

Aesop @ Strand Arcade.

Ben Quilty Curates Jan Murphy

Jeffrey Burk — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 19:36:53 +0000

Should be an interesting show: Ben Quilty organizes a show at Jan Murphy. May 19 – June 6, 2009. I like the concept of a gallery owner giving up the reigns to an artist.

Brand New James Cameron

Jeffrey Burk — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 01:00:57 +0000

Lovely.

James Cameron worked with Universal Design Studio to create a space of classic institution, referencing aesthetics and colours from 1960’s French spy films and giving it a timeless approach for the circa 1920’s building it sits in.

I, Wanderer Wishing I was in Southern Hemisphere Right About Now

Jeffrey Burk — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 03:40:10 +0000

The Seattle Blizzard v.2008 punished us for the last 2 weeks. For a variety of reasons we’ve postponed our annual sojourn down under until late in 2009. Thinking about the sun and sand at Bondi sounds good right now … which made me think of this great swimsuit brand, Hotel Bondi Swim.

Pier Restaurant Rose Bay

Jeffrey Burk — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 22:14:12 +0000

Pier was recently awarded “National Restaurant of the Year” and ‘Three Stars’ by Australian Gourmet Traveller 2008. We had a fantastic meal here about a year ago – arguably it was one of the best meals we’ve had in Sydney. Incredible, meticulous preparation that never gets in the way or is heavy-handed. Pier states they have specially trained fishermen sourcing their ingredients. Highly recommended.

Café Sopra at Fratelli Fresh

Jeffrey Burk — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 16:43:15 +0000

We had a great lunch at Fratelli Fresh. High ceilings and lots of natural light make for a great space. It’s popular so get there fairly early or be prepared to queue. The Italian menu had a number of kid friendly choices. Recommended for a casual, delicious lunch. After you arrive give yourself some time to roam around the italian edibles upstairs prior to dining. Then peruse the fresh ingredients downstairs before you depart.

Adding to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney

Jeffrey Burk — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 19:32:08 +0000

I’ve always thought the existing Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney looked a little rigid; the building could do with an injection of modern architecture. Given the quayside location this new addition looks promising. Trash or treasure? Cast your vote at The Sydney Morning Herald website poll here.

Ksubi The Bombed Maché

Jeffrey Burk — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:21:03 +0000

Retail remixed by Ksubi. Walking by the outside you wouldn’t know it was a shop. No signage. Doesn’t look like a store. Maybe a gallery. Maybe it’s still under construction? Can I go in? Confusing signals. Which is the point. Ksubi manages to create a retail environment that fuses retail rules with no rules. Constructed entirely from cardboard and tape, the stores location is upscale Armadale so it’s quite a contrast to the surrounding shops which include themes and galleries.
