The Quays
Architecture - Residential - Constructed
'The Quays' is a mixed-use and apartment development by MAB Corporation in the NewQuay precinct of Melbourne's Docklands. Its sinuous form offers a sensual counterpoint to the series of sentinel towers that currently line the waters' edge. Located on a prominent intersection, 'The Quays' provides a major new frontage and potentially new perception of the Docklands. In addition to punctuating this significant corner with a new local landmark, the towers provide a figurehead to the series of existing towers.
'Choice' something rare when it comes to apartments. 'The Quays' offers choice abundant; choice in apartment design, choice in the colour of the apartments, and choice in the kind of space that people can occupy and share together, outside of their apartments.
Ultimately, the design aims to re-establish a sense of community through the creation of a permeable ground plane, providing spaces that would actually be used and fulfil a need, whilst adding complexity and diversity to the Docklands. 'The Quays' seeks to introduce 'cultural intelligence' through collaborations with artists of all kinds. It is a building that is inclusive of people in all their wonderful variety; a building that is a bit of fun.

NGV Community Hall
Interior Design - Public or Institutional
'The Community Hall seeks to expand the vocabulary of architectural expression and engages in the articulation of complex issues, such as the representation of a city's culture and identity. The Community Hall for Melbourne Now is a flexible multi-use space that creates a bold statement of inclusivity and egalitarianism at the front door of NGV International. Drawing inspiration from the social and cultural spaces of Victorian communities, Community Hall takes tradition to new heights through cutting-edge architecture and dynamic programming. The space offers a hub of activity positioned at the heart of Melbourne Now.
The design for the space is at once iconic and pragmatic. The architecture integrates a broad range of social and cultural references into one seamless arc of inclusion. Set alight with bold colours which can be seen through the famous NGV Waterwall, this stunning new structure is a space with both social and architectural meaning that people will never forget.' - Ewan McEoin
