BNE OpenHouse 2016

“Brisbane Open House is a free public festival that celebrates Brisbane’s architecture and offers behind-the-scenes access to 100 buildings across the city”

— BNE Open House

This year I was determined to visit some new places. I also made an exception a revisited Woods Bagot, Architectural firm right in the city. Mainly because I love their repurposed (and done so in a thoughtful manner) office space and catch up on their latest projects.

Street Lines

My focus being on lines/ light > details. Finding a point of interest, determining the best angle / approach for the photo. And the occasional post edit. One day soon I shall purchase a tilt/shift lens, ideal for tight spots and shooting verticals.

Brisbane Open House 2015

I recently attended a number of buildings around Brisbane as part of the Open House Weekend 2015. From Woods Bagot Studios, Spring Hill Service Reservoirs, John Mills Himself Building, Howard Smith Wharves, Studio 217, AECOM, City Hall, The Chambers and Brickworks Studio. Of which are number are heritage listed, some renovated / re-purposed. Fascinated by architecture and design (maybe a little obsessed), it was a great opportunity to explore some local building interiors.

Fascinated by lines, structure, building techniques and methods, from modern to old. Part of the reason why I love to travel.
