Hangman clothing rack
By Surya Graf
« The Hangman Clothing Rack was first inspired by the materials and industrial finish of mass produced wire coat hangers. Like the coat hanger, Hangman is constructed as one continuous line which bends around itself to create a visually dynamic and practical form.
Aimed primarily at the inner city apartment dwellers who often lack built in storage, the Hangman is a free-standing, adaptable space efficient solution. Clothing can be hung from both the upper and lower rails, with accommodation made for long dresses or suit jackets to hang past the lower rail unimpeded. The lower rail also provides a place to drape pants to prevent creasing. »

Bottino vase
By Agnes Fries edited by Kähler
« This series of vases is inspired by fishing floats and first came to life during a trip to China, where the technique of overglaze painting porcelain truly is mastered. Playing around with geometrical shapes and graphic decorations resulted in different shapes and patterns. Standing side by side they form new shapes and patterns. »
Tattoo house
« An extension to an existing 3 bedroom house in Fitzroy North to provide new living and kitchen space for a growing young family.
Many of the design decisions were generated by the tight budget. The form is a simple box- the strongest form an architect can achieve at a bargain basement price.
Every element needed to perform multiple functions for maximum return- hence the kitchen bench becomes part of the stair, and the screening required by council reflects heat and glare away from the expansive windows, neatly eliminating the need for curtains.
Council requirements regarding overlooking which dictate a 75% opacity to second-storey spaces are resolved by UV stable stickers rather than expensive and elaborate screening. The tree supergraphic creates playful and ever-changing shadows across the interior spaces and is composed of images taken in the local park.
Despite these challenges a double story, non-domestic scale space was achieved with a basic palette of materials. »
