eventful client meeting in Mordialloc

Caitlyn, Ammon and I went to visit Jules and Darren in Mordialloc on Wednesday night.

We were in the middle of presenting the second plan when the storm arrived.

We all scrambled to the playroom to save the toys + books from the rain which was leaking through the roof. Bowls and buckets were filling up quickly and a stream of water could be seen through the north window. The gutters must be blocked! - so Ammon and Darren ran outside to remove the leaves.

Ivy was a little bit scared, she is only 3 years old. Ash, who is six, was telling us about how the last time there was a storm the whole street had turned into a river. We understand first-hand why there is a flood overlay on the site.

Ammon and Darren come back inside, soaking wet, needing towels. We all sit back down for really yummy French Earl Grey tea and banana muffins that Jules and Ivy had made the same morning.

"Now you know why we need to renovate", says Jules.

INVITATION - Close Over(p)lay 2: St Paul's Cathedral EXHIBITION 4-10 November

Hello (please feel free to forward),

Some of you may be aware that we have been teaching a design studio at the University of Melbourne about St Paul's Cathedral Close. It considers the carpark opposite Federation Square and Flinders St Station.

This is the second year I am running the studio (from the Cathedral Crypt) with Tim Derham and Richard Falkinger and I would be pleased to invite you to our exhibition which is starting Friday (noon) in the North Transept of St Pauls Cathedral which you can visit at your leisure. It has been a quite a special studio, with many participants, all broadly towards building ambitious thinking about the future of public space in Melbourne.

See attached invitation and detail below.
We would be happy if you could make it and share your thoughts on this provocative project
