Mixed-use
Under construction

As an identified gateway into the Newport Town Centre, the design scheme drew its inspiration from the arches that were a prominent feature in the existing home on the site. Whilst clearly a more robust form, the use of recycled brick and a reverse gable roof formwork to ensure the development responds to the residential character of the secondary street. The building was then setback from Mason Street to open the public realm and create a spillover space for a ground-level cafe; whilst ensuring a viewing to the adjoining heritage was improved.

About the
Professional

Our vision is to create architecture that is accessible and meaningful.
Blur is an architecture and design studio committed to connecting communities through considered and robust architecture. We believe that architecture has the capacity to inspire and connect, and is central to the way we navigate our world.

Who We Are
More than just a diverse group of architects or designers, we see ourselves as part of a broader fabric of custodians of the urban environment. We belong to a connection of streets, parks, communities and cities that are all essential to the human experience - both now and into the future.

We believe we can make a positive difference.

What We Do
The studio fosters a collaborative approach to developing solutions that respond to the individual needs of our clients. The sharing of ideas and experiences enriches the design process - delivering better outcomes, meaningful solutions and a lasting benefit.

Each project begins with a conversation.

We are all travellers on a path and the results of our actions have lasting impacts. It is with this in mind that we are committed to treading gently on the earth and playing our role as global citizens.

Carbon Neutral
Blur is working toward becoming a carbon-neutral business. To achieve this, we have committed to auditing our operations and offsetting unavoidable emissions.

One Percent
We are committed to supporting grassroots and charitable initiatives by donating at least 1% of our revenue or time to such causes. Over the last year, we helped feed the homeless, assisted in renovating a community space and contributed to the upgrade of a school in Indonesia.

Acknowledgement
Blur acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, upon whose land we stand. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
