re:new – Resource 88

We meet with Caroline Pidcock to discuss her sustainable Resource 88 in Sydney.

December 2nd, 2009

The full text and images of this story can be found on the re:new website here.

The centre is a shared workspace, home to a variety of sustainable businesses, including Caroline’s own practice, Pidcock Architecture and Sustainability. “There’s a lot of discussion about what sustainability is and what it might be and how to support each other,” says Caroline of the Resource 88 community.

Previously used as a photographic processing lab with no natural light or ventilation, “the building was pretty awful,” says Caroline. “It had been passed in at auction because no one quite knew what to do with it or how to make it work.”

HOSPITALITY :: A design double header with @Kori_icecream and @architectseat !

Kōri Ice Cream is here! A new ice cream parlour has opened in Melbourne that features retail interior design at its very best. With summer on its way, this new destination will wow both young and old and is certain to be the place to meet and gather. With outstanding icy products, and an interior design that is more than impressive, Kōri Ice Cream is a stand out on every level.

Ice cream has a special place in everyone’s life and now this cold sweet treat has an exciting new, purpose-designed home that pleases the eye while satisfying the cold treat cravings. Designed by the exemplary, and aptly named, Architects EAT, Kōri Ice Cream is certainly making a name for itself for excellent ice cream and stunning interior design.

Located in Hawthorn on busy Glenferrie Road, queues have been known to form just to taste the delicious and unusual flavours of ice cream but it’s upon arrival at the shop that the experience really begins. The outside hints at what is inside, the heritage façade is painted white with a large terracotta/red (Dulux Retro Disco) stripe on the side.
