Two Sisters Home by Mark Szczerbicki Design Studio
By Ben Gerstel, architect and attendee.
On arrival, visitors were greeted by a freestanding cottage and a paved front garden animated by colourful potted plants and statues. A magnificent magnolia tree from the neighbouring property added a generous, borrowed landscape to the setting.
A SPECIAL @HOME EVENT AT THE MALEY HOUSE
Ben Gerstel
This At Home event was especially memorable because attendees heard directly from people closely connected to the Maley House, which was designed in 1973 by the late architect Andre Porebski.
Alex Porebski, son of the late Andre Porebski, spoke about the house, alongside other family members, including Andre’s wife, Mrs Porebski and daughter Victoria D’Alisa.
The Australian Architecture Association (AAA) Redfern Tour offers an engaging exploration of one of Sydney’s most historically layered and rapidly evolving inner-city neighbourhoods. Moving through Redfern’s streets, the tour examines the area’s distinctive mix of Victorian terraces, former industrial buildings, social housing and contemporary residential and commercial developments.
On Saturday 15 August take to the outdoors and explore architecture on the Chippendale Walk. Each AAA guide provides a unique insight into the character of the area, their individual passions enriching the tour narrative.
See some tour attendee feedback below:
"Michelle was a charming and great guide. I did not realise just how much urban design, planning and thought has gone into the Toohey’s precinct. I had once previously, rather briefly, walked through the precinct myself to get an impression, but Michelle opened-up much more of the planning and design for me.”
