Mode Design is pleased to announce the upcoming acquisition of The Architects Studio in Darwin.

The works of The Architects Studio have been nationally recognised as ’representing best practice in design for the whole of Northern Australia’, and have received numerous RAIA awards for architectural excellence, and sustainable, energy-efficient design appropriate to the climatic conditions of Northern Australia.

Having collaborated closely on a wide range of projects since 2000, this merger is a natural progression for both firms.

Peter Fletcher, Director of The Architects Studio, will continue to provide a range of specialist design services from Darwin. Mode Design will provide an enhanced level of flexibility and agility in resourcing with over 40 staff nationally in the Brisbane Corporate Headquarters, Sunshine Coast, and Sydney.

Founded in 1991 as Rhonan O’Brien Architects, Mode Design’s key personnel offer a significant depth of experience in multi-unit residential, commercial, retail, educational, industrial, health care, and community, and sports and recreational facilities. The multidisciplinary firm offers expertise in architecture, project management, master planning and urban design, graphic design and 3D visualization, and interior design.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.

Smart Light Sydney – IDL

Sydney’s newest celebration, Smart Light Sydney, is currently calling for expressions of interest from artists and designers from around the country and region to create “smart light and sound installation” for the evnt to be held from 26 May – 14 June 2009.

The event will form part of the newly created Vivid Sydney festival – aimed at delivering a focus on light and sound during the city’s winter.

“Vivid Sydney will transform the city into a unique living canvas of music and light with the Opera House, the Rocks and Circular Quay as its focus,” say the organizers.

Artists are invited to submit their EOI to contribute installation for the Smart Light Sydney ‘Light Walk’ along the CBD foreshore, taking in Observatory Hill, the MCA and Customs House. Submissions can include pavement, wall, façade and foyer treatments.

“We’re looking for artists who are using digital technologies to provide creative solutions in urban design and light, as well as for installations which are stimulating and engaging for the public,” says Smart Light Sydney Founder and Festival Director Mary-Anne Kyriakou.

“Smart Light Sydney will play an important role in demonstrating the potential for low energy lighting to Australian and international audiences through unique and creative displays.”
