Australia By Design

We enjoyed viewing six of our projects on the seventh season of Australia By Design, a television series delving into architectural projects exemplifying excellence.
A reimagined Marvel Stadium on Wurundjeri Country in Melbourne is showcased in Episode 2. We worked with Grimshaw, Smartform, Greenshoot Consulting, Wurundjeri Elders, Junglefy, Fytogreen, Büro North, and Wasp on a design that supports broader community use by introducing a finer grain to the ground plane and inserts greening where possible to make the precinct more welcoming on non-event days.
NextSense Centre for Innovation, a state-of-the-art facility for hearing and vision research designed by WMK Architecture surrounded by an OCULUS-designed functional and sensory landscape on Darug Country in Sydney, opens Episode 3.
Episode 4 features a Residential Eating Disorders Centre designed by EJE Architecture on Bahtahbah Country in NSW, where compassionate architecture thoughtfully connects to a landscape designed by OCULUS with biophilic design principles to improve well-being.
In Episode 7, OCULUS Senior Associate David Wyld discusses our work with Woods Bagot on Younghusband, Melbourne's largest operational net-zero-carbon adaptive re-use precinct on Wurundjeri Country in Kensington.
On Darramurragal/Dharug Country in Sydney, we collaborated with AJC Architects on both Abbotsleigh Senior School’s Centre for Science and Art which wends gently around existing mature threes, and Abbotsleigh Junior School’s Library and Innovation Centre which connects to functional outdoor spaces.
Australia by Design aired on Network 10, and is now streaming for free on YouTube.
