A Qld Luminary

With his holistic and passionate approach, Queenslander Brian SteendÃ¿k, is the latest Indesign Luminary.

February 25th, 2009

Queensland-based designer Brian Steendÿk has been honoured as the latest Indesign Magazine luminary.

Educated at QUT in a Bachelor of Applied Science and Bachelor of Architecture, Steendÿk left on a scholarship to travel the world, studying in the US and then working in the Netherlands, before returning to Brisbane to work with The Cox Group.

Unsatisfied by the limited scope of a project architect in a large practice, and with a desire to move into other areas of design, in 2002 Steendÿk founded his multidisciplinary practice (also named Steendÿk).

With a breadth of work encompassing everything from architecture and landscape design to product and furniture design, Steenÿk’s practice is far from typical.

The Indesign Magazine article tells the story of this design luminary, outlining his passionate and holistic approach to design and architecture and exploring his firm’s different projects.

Brian Steendÿk will be honoured at a special Indesign Luminary function in Brisbane late next week.

HOSPITALITY :: Le Coq Wine & Bistro, Taikooli by @

HOSPITALITY :: Le Coq Wine & Bistro, Taikooli by @roomoodesign was conceived as a ‘walk-in vineyard’, and brings a new immersive dining and wine-tasting experience to both a local clientele and discerning visitors to Shanghai.

Presenting a twist on the usual restaurant and bar venue, this project displays the process of wine production from grape to liquid through the interpretation of the spatial design.

Feel the world in a new light with Tobias Grau

According to Le Corbusier, the struggle for it underpins the history of architecture. Frank Lloyd Wright described it as a “beautifier of buildings”. And Motoko Ishii famously equated it to life itself. Indispensable, life-affirming and metamorphic, light underpins all architectural and design efforts.
