Talks.
Greybox
Presented by
Chris Major and David Welsh, Co-founders, Welsh and Major
David Welsh and Chris Major, co-directors of Welsh and Major, will discuss the design of Greybox, their own holiday house on the mid-north coast of New South Wales. This experimental and delightful home draws on diverse influences – from the homestead to the cloistered abbey to the motel – to explore how architecture might invite us to live differently.
Carlton Cottage
Presented by
Stephanie Burton and Joseph Lovell, Co-founders, Lovell Burton Architecture
Lovell Burton Architecture co-founders Joseph Lovell and Stephanie Burton will share the story of their own home, Carlton Cottage, an adaptation to a compact Melbourne terrace. Calm, ordered and prepared for change, the renovation embraces a flexible plan that will adapt as family life evolves.
