Colourblock Development
The Colourblock Development embodies a contemporary architectural style that stands out in its urban setting. The project creatively utilised colourblocking techniques, with blocks of tiles and paint wrapping walls and ceilings to define and enliven the space.
Designed as a multi-unit dwelling in an ex-industrial area, the development showcases the innovative approach of alsoCAN Architects in transforming a single-house site into 4 tall townhouses.
The decision to keep one unit for the architect's office reflects the company's commitment to urban creatives, making this project not only a commercial success but also a personal statement.

About the

alsoCAN
To broaden our design skills alsoCAN is a multi-disciplined studio. We keep learning so we can put more design into practice. So far, Architecture, can; Urban Design, can; Web Design, also can.
Our architectural practice draws on over 25 years of experience in individually designed houses & larger-scale residential, institutional & commercial projects in Melbourne, Singapore & Brisbane.
alsoCAN's architectural designs have been imagined, designed & drawn in 3 dimensions since the beginnings of BIM computer modelling in the 1990s. There is no disconnect between the spatial volumes of the design & the plans, elevations, and sections all in the one 3-D model. For many other architects, this is a new way of thinking.
