Annerley Small Commercial Project
Our first small commercial project, 2 Stephens Street takes an old corner shop opposite Junction Park State School - historically an informal school tuckshop and afterschool hangout - and adapts the site to a new small commercial precinct serving the local community.
Working with the Queenslander home and a Character Shop, we have designed an inviting, life-giving small precinct revolving around a central courtyard. This invites parents and community members to come in, take a moment to pause. We wanted to create a space of fun and interaction - a modern expression of the old corner shop or milk bar, where neighbours would gather and lives would intersect.
We are a vibrant, creative and passionate architectural practice based in Brisbane, Australia.
First established in 2016, we see ourselves as the next link, inspired by - and walking in the footsteps of - generous, creative and selfless architects who have practiced before us.
Architects who may not necessarily be esteemed or celebrated, who may or may not be exhibited or featured in coffee table books,
but in pursuing great design they have quietly, unassumingly touched countless lives in their craft and service.
We are intentional and counter-cultural in our work - in how we serve our clients, in how we relate as a team, how we advocate for those in need, and how we gauge our success.
We are not satisfied with the status quo. We don’t need our name up in lights.
Our buildings are a physical outcome of our passion - to see people live well, to come home to an environment of peace and rest,
and thus empowered to demonstrate generous hospitality.
