Paddock to Market to Plate; Flemington 2036 – A Vision for the Future Paddock to Market to Plate is a Vision for the future of the Flemington Market Site in Sydney. Flemington is the historical site of Sydney’s produce markets, next to the Olympic Stadium. The markets have announced they will be relocating. This proposal envisages the redevelopment of this site as a model of urban renewal in the 21st Century. The design includes a mix of all elements needed for a sustainable future in the same place. It includes Urban Agriculture, Employment, High Density Living and retains some Market uses.
This project lies within a stepped terrace of purpose built houses on Finnis Street. No 101 is one of those properties that are set back from the street and from the adjacent house. The existing terrace is of a very basic character, in a dull context of no significant architectural value. Our task was a complete refurbishment including a two-storey front and a single-storey rear extension to a modernistic aesthetic.
Our client was a single FIFO worker at the start of the project, who wanted a laid-back and robust sanctuary back home.
He would arrive by car from the airport after a month off-shore, and wanted the house to be instrumental in readjusting his mindset back into an on-shore, city-based existence for the ensuing month.
The home needed to allow a gradual adjustment. Nothing too abrupt. Connection with Fremantle, but also plenty of privacy and dimly lit space to enjoy solitude.
A place that was gentle on the senses, yet also engaging.
Looking from the street at this rare and intact streetscape, an example of early urban development in Balmain, it may appear that nothing has changed. Go inside, however, and it is apparent that an accumulation of unsympathetic additions had masked the natural beauty of the Sydney Sandstone structure in this 1850s terrace house.
A single storey house in Petersham sits on a small lot in an intact row of period houses. The dwelling presents itself as a freestanding cottage forming a pair with an identical neighbour, bookended by a commercial building and a car park. The Federation-style period features are well preserved and provides historic value of Sydney’s Inner West past. Several beautiful trees stand in the rear garden of the adjoining site, providing a pleasant outlook and shelter from the summer sun.
The ‘Princess Precinct’ is a rare surviving example of terrace houses constructed in the 1860s in one of Brisbane’s oldest suburbs. The building is listed as local heritage with the Brisbane City Council, which provided a significant design challenge on top of the client’s brief.
Part of our ongoing Western occupation, Ikebana’s name gives you a hint at the story behind this new residential and retail project in West Melbourne. Yes it’s Japanese-inspired, but without the cliché – you won’t find any Hello Kitty here (although we can promise a karaoke room). Instead, we took the concepts behind the fêted Japanese aesthetic as our point of departure for the architecture – an attention to (nano) detail and dedication to hand-made traditions is set against a natural, formal backdrop.

This might be the first time you’ve heard us say this but at our new mixed-use project at 134-160 Spencer Street there’s actually less than meets the eye. Well, kind of. It’s true that the responsive approach to precinct regeneration sets a new bar for mixed-use developments. We could even say that this building, which sits directly in front of Southern Cross station – the first thing people see when arriving – will anchor the increased westerly shift of the CBD, heralded by the regeneration of Docklands, Fishermen’s Bend and Southbank.

Situated at 44-54 Kambrook Road, Caulfield North the design brief for Olea Residence was to provide an architectural solution which complemented both the existing neighbourhood character and street presence of Caulfield North, whilst delivering an individual and luxurious architectural addition to the site. The client required the design response to have a boutique feel whilst appealing to a wide range of potential buyers with the inclusion of various sized townhouses and apartments. The success of Olea Residences depended on a stand out architectural resolution to attract investors and owners alike. Key elements were the incorporation of green spaces, the successful integration of indoor/outdoor living areas and the privacy of residences thus ensuring a personal feel despite dwelling in a residential development.
BVN’s engagement extended to the entirety of the project across two phases, including new building, four building re-fits and various demolitions to consolidate CSIRO’s staff from leased sites within Canberra to the Black Mountain site which is owned by CSIRO. It is provided in two Phases.
