Drawing Reality from Imagination

Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if..." And then do it. ~Duane Michals

 

We love it when the buildings take shape like they have lept out of the original drawings.  So this week when Julian Brenchley Stopped by  Bay 9 in Middlemiss Street in North Sydney he was met with  the 3D reality of  what he had drawn onto  yellow trace  this ime last year.

Bay 9 is  the second development that Brenchley Architects has been involved with in Middlemiss Street,  Teh now very popular Bay ten Espresso, is a hub that houses a body mechanics and  offices all in a  historical arch under the  span of the  Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Bay  9 is  inspired by the century-old concrete walls drenched in natural sunlight by dramatic floor to ceiling steel and glass windows. Bay 9  will house a  selection of chic, self-contained work pods, shared offices and conference rooms all spanning three levels.  The ground floor will  house  an expansive mixed-use zone for wellness and leisure activities or an exhibition and demonstration space. The warehouse had been re-imagined by architect Julian Brenchley to preserve it's raw, industrial heritage whilst creating a highly functional, beautifully appointed, creative environment.

See the drawing board picture below, and heres the shot from this week....... looks like  Bay 9 may need a cheeky little red duck and a little bit of greenery!
