Australian Architects and Architecture Blog by Bleuscape Design Peter Eisenman once said 'It is important to write, draw and then build.' We have always followed this pattern as it allows us to design from a definable position rather than just for the sake of it.  Over the years at Bleuscape, part of our process has been to include our thoughts online and make the resulting information available to those who share a similar love for design/thinking.  Thank you to 'Architecture Quote' for recognising our efforts.  ..read more

Australian Architects and Architecture Blog by Bleuscape Design When approaching a new build whether it be a new home or the renovation of an existing one, have you ever considered, as the client, you are placing an ungodly amount of trust and money into the hands of someone who barely knows you? This statement is something I’ve pondered for some time. Typical Scenario. Client researches designer. Makes contact and organises an initial meeting. Designer gathers information and presents his or her initial ideas. What is wrong with this picture? Whoever you choose to work on your home, whether ..read more

Maverick Eye – Part 2

Australian Architects and Architecture Blog by Bleuscape Design So in what sense do your homes, Anthony become places of passage? My design is very concerned with happiness and fulfillments. When you're trying to purge clothes from your closet, and you use criteria such as 'Could I wear this ever again in my life?' the answer is constantly going to be yes. But if you employ criteria such as "Do I absolutely love it? Do I wear it often? Does it still look any good?", and if the answer is no, then you should give it away. Now, if that's true of closets, what about the spaces in which we live our ..read more

A Maverick Eye – Part 1

Australian Architects and Architecture Blog by Bleuscape Design The act of building is not grounded in shelter, nor in territory, but in passage. I wanted to focus on the manner in which my houses operate as places of passage. I live in a house where downstairs has a long passage connecting the front entrance with stairs going up, a garage, a study, bedrooms, a bathroom, a laundry, a side garden, a studio, and a rear courtyard. That passage brings the house to life, it keeps the family together and apart. Children's games running and hiding, slamming bedroom doors, late night conversation ..read more

Australian Architects and Architecture Blog by Bleuscape Design Anthony Rigg, director of Brisbane based Bleuscape Design, took time out to talk to us about recent projects; all falling under the studio’s ethos to make ‘experiential work’. Here’s what he had to say … So, how are you guys approaching work at the moment? I’ve been noticing a transition occur over the last few years. I think our work is beginning to be informed more through composing experiences and propositions. When that thing that forces you to think is bare. There is this bareness of the relation between sensation and sense ..read more

Australian Architects and Architecture Blog by Bleuscape Design Materials, when used well, point to something greater than themselves, not the reverse. The key issue here is an awareness of the richer life of materials. What matters is what materials can do. And what they do is move someone. Take someone somewhere else. “When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last, “What’s the first thing you say to yourself?” “What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?” “I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” said Piglet. Pooh nodded thoughtfully. “It’s the sa ..read more

Australian Architects and Architecture Blog by Bleuscape Design “Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. “Pooh!” he whispered. “Yes, Piglet?” “Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s paw. “I just wanted to be sure of you.” A.A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner One of the defining characteristics of play is that it becomes this ‘enigmatic withdrawal from the everyday’, ‘a stepping out from “real” life into a temporary sphere of activity with a disposition all of its own’. A look at the world of toys shows that children possess the ability to translate any ordinary setting into an imaginary and exciti ..read more

He answered, "These are the horns that subdue so that no man may lift up his head, but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these evil nations who lifted up their might against the land of Judah to scatter its people." - Zechariah 1:21 The Four Horns of Zechariah and the Craftman It might seem like a strange thing quoting the bible at the beginning of an house design blog post but, I love this ancient text! It paints an abstract yet relevant picture of the battle between powers see ..read more
