the first project for kennedy nolan architects came with a rush of energy and abundance of ideas. thirteen years later, director patrick kennedy reflects on the first house by the practice .

deepdene house is located in a suburban neighbourhood filled with edwardian properties and verdant gardens. kennedy nolan describes its appearance as

evoking memories of form, colour, texture and light that are typically tied to asian influences, kennedy nolan architects’ latest project (patrick kennedy & rachel nolan), st kilda west house in melbourne, australia, is a primary example of how to draw on the intangible and on the power of suggestion in the creation of a distinctly unique atmosphere .

we were asked to be considerate of the neighbours, who were very attached to the edwardian character of the street ,
explained the design team, which is led by architects patrick kennedy and rachel nolan .
design at kennedy nolan is generated drawing on the optimistic precepts of modernism - rational, utilitarian, empowered by technology - and a positive view that the design and arrangement of spaces can support and reinforce relationships, can add piquancy and zest to life .
the deepdene house designed by kennedy nolan architects is a treasure trove of contemporary design details that work together to enshrine the past. arched doorways, sculptural chimneys and a pyramid - shaped roof are just a few of the quirky traits of this east - melbourne home .
kennedy nolan was established in 1999 and has since developed a reputation as a design focused practice with a distinctive approach to built form. the practice is dedicated to the production of architecture that is highly responsive to its context and seeks to form a strong relationship with landscape .

it struck me as an interesting coincidence that in the week of the 50th anniversary of the publication of robin boyd’s the australian ugliness i was asked to write about kennedy nolan’s laver house in kew. for me, kennedy nolan’s work has always embodied an honesty conjured out of a pared back aesthetic, of dextrous design and natural materials typical of mid - century architecture. add to that the mark strizic photographic documentation of the studio’s early work and there’s a tangible connection to this resonant era of modern melbourne. it was with ‘razorblades’ boyd in mind; his inquiring intellect, and the ubiquitous question of what makes a worthy suburban contribution that i visit the laver house .
kennedy nolan is a design focused practice of 16 people including directors, architects, graduate architects and students of architecture. the foundation of the practice has been residential architecture, but in recent years there has been a diversification to a range of multi - residential, early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary education, large scale mixed - use and retail projects .
christopher nolan' s batman trilogy is seen as a high water mark for comic book movies and especially batman by many. when ben affleck was announced as the next in line to portray the dark knight, many fans scratched their heads and a lot of people were clearly upset with the choice after christian bale' s performance under nolan' s direction. but it appears that reeves, much like lucasfilm president kathleen kennedy, has his ear to the ground and is listening to what the fans want to see in a new version of batman .
reeves also talked about the way that nolan a story throughout three movies, a vision that stays clear throughout while staying personal, much like a hitchcock character. reeves says this .
in a neighbourhood described by kennedy nolan as “roofs and chimneys emerging from lush tree canopies”, they were conscious of the neighbours who were very attached to the edwardian character of the street. deepdene house draws on arts and crafts architecture – a style that overlapped with the edwardian era – through its combination of crafted materials and decorative forms. white painted brickwork, a patterned semi - transparent wall and a swimming pool lined with vibrant blue tiles help create this aesthetic .

love this project and love kennedy nolan’s work. on the article…. . densification: is about creating space for more people to live not more building density. the typical alteration and addition to a house (which we also do a lot of) does not lead to to the kind of densification that is desirable and sustainable and that boyd was seeking - i. e. a denser city… a city of more people living closer together………. . rather it just leads to bigger houses for less people .
what i love that (nolan) did was that he took the genre seriously. what studios willing to make at the moment is a very, very narrow band of films. what i discovered is that this genre has the
the project incorporated many of the characteristics that have come to define kennedy nolan architects today. the design adapted an existing building and the scope encompassed the entire site. the project was our first exploration of the possibilities of a plan. there is evidence of our interest in defined zoning – the liturgy of habitation, of hierarchical planning – you can see our preoccupation with aspect, axis and the long view. the formal qualities of the building exhibit our ongoing interest in the suggestive power of abstract form. references are made to the history of the building and to the notion of hearth as home .
major retrospectives of nolan' s work have been staged in london' s institute of contemporary art (1962), sydney (1967), melbourne (1987, 1992), and new york' s metropolitan museum of art (1994) .
director matt reeves reveals he' s been taking cues from christopher nolan' s dark knight trilogy on his upcoming solo adventure for bruce wayne. the batman director has been talking a lot about the upcoming movie and pulling from different influences, namely alfred hitchcock and more recently christopher nolan. reeves has also drawn comparisons between bruce wayne and caesar from reeves' most recent movie war for the planet of the apes, in addition to talking about doing something different than what the studios expect in regards to the comic book movie genre .
i think the other thing that i really admire in what (nolan) did was knowing what it is to make a big studio film, which often can fall into that sense of committee filmmaking where there' s an anonymity to the point of view of the film .
war for the planet of the apes will be released on july 14th, 2017 and soon afterwards matt reeves will jump straight into the batman with ben affleck. while not much is known about the plot, we do know that reeves has promised a hitchcockian influence that has excited many fans hoping for a return to the psyche of batman and hopefully a return to his detective roots. reeves also goes on to mention the influence of christopher nolan on the batman and making a big budget studio movie. the director seems to admire the way that nolan was able to make a personal, serious studio movie. reeves explains .
a separate mention should be made in respect of his fremantle series of paintings, produced in the 1970s. unmatched for colour by any 20th - century paintings, except perhaps by a handful of fauvism works, their brilliant colour pigments are nothing short of dazzling. they represent, arguably, nolan' s most creative phase since the 1940s .
cregan’s friend ann nolan is also here. “ah, it’s good craic, ” she says. “the other day a guy came up and said, ‘could you give me a loan of the star? ’ ‘not ‘can i buy the star? ’ but ‘give me a loan of the star. ’ and austin gave it to him. ” she chuckles .
in 2010, his painting first - class marksman (1946) became the most expensive australian painting in history. the only one of nolan' s first series of 27 ned kelly paintings not owned by the national gallery of australia, it was purchased by the art gallery of new south wales for a record $ 5. 4 million. see also: most expensive paintings: top 20 .
“we’re actually here because we were worried about clerys, ” says mcguigan. “we were hoping they were getting business. ” mcguigan – who was, in nolan’s words, “deported from australia” in 1982 – likes o’connell street a lot. she passes through most days, and often drops into the philatelic section in the gpo. “it’s the only place you can get all the back issues of the year’s stamps, ” she says. “my mother collects them. ”
nolan used numerous different themes in his painting, including series like: gallipoli (1956), leda and the swan (1959), america (1958 - 60), africa (1961 - 2), antarctica (1964), new guinea series (1965), fremantle (1970 - 9), miners (1972), and his cezanne pastiches (1978). but his most powerful and recurrent imagery was his depiction of ned kelly. his simplified motif of kelly' s square - shaped armoured helmet is now an iconic australian image .
in an interview with design files, rachel nolan explains past projects:'' i feel like i understand how you inhabit domestic space. i remember what it is like to be a kid, what it is like to be a student, what it is like to share a house, to be single, to live with your partner. i know what it is to have a husband and run a family house. but to be able to use this and find some magic in how you might live is what i love about doing residential projects.''
nolan was initially attracted to abstract art - a form he returned to in the last decade of his life - in the manner of paul klee (1879 - 1940). his own minimalist abstract paintings, like boy and the moon (1940), consisting of a splash of yellow against a raw blue backdrop, caused some controversy among observers. in addition, using his experience as a commercial artist, he also designed theatrical sets and costumes for serge lifar' s ballet icarus, which opened in sydney, in 1940. in the same year, he held his first solo exhibition at his melbourne studio .
paintings by sidney nolan can be seen in many of the best art museums in australia, including: national gallery of australia, canberra; art gallery of western australia, perth; queensland art gallery, brisbane; art gallery of new south wales, sydney; national gallery of victoria, melbourne; art gallery of south australia, adelaide; the australian war memorial, canberra; ballarat fine art gallery; australian national university, canberra; heide museum of modern art, melbourne; and others. overseas, he is represented in the tate gallery, london; the carnegie museum of art, pittsburgh; and several other important public collections .
knighted in 1981, nolan' s contribution exceeds that of drysdale, and other 20th century painters such as sir william dobell (1899 - 1970), noel counihan (1913 - 86), albert tucker (1914 - 99), arthur boyd (1920 - 99), john perceval (1923 - 2000) and william robinson (b. 1936), but it follows in the great tradition of the 19th century heidelberg school of australian impressionism (c. 1885 - 1900) and its pioneering representatives like tom roberts (1856 - 1931), frederick mccubbin (1855 - 1917), arthur streeton (1867 - 1943) and charles conder (1868 - 1909) .

of 1998, my cousin and her husband asked me to design a renovation for their dilapidated edwardian house in the melbourne suburb of northcote. the james street house was all the impetus rachel and i needed to start our own practice. with what now seems feckless and irresponsible abandon we resigned from our respective jobs and went to officeworks to buy a fax machine. it was all very well thought out and high - tech .
on reflection, it was a great time to start a practice because we didn’t have any significant financial commitments and, more importantly, our youth ensured that we had an abundance of enthusiasm and not enough experience to be deterred by a rational and considered appraisal of the risks and pitfalls ahead .
colours and finishes based on 1970s residential architecture were a particular focus of the design .
for us, james street was a near - perfect first project. it combined a trusting client who shared our sensibilities, a scope of works extensive enough to give us an opportunity to explore some architectural ideas, and a corner site that allowed us to make a building with a street presence .
the detailed design of the house, including particular care given to colours and finishes, was developed through a revision of 1970s residential architecture, particularly the houses of merchant builders. this is an ongoing interest – both in the particularities of courtyard house plans and the highly textured surfaces, which we feel create a sense of domestic refinement .
the key architectural move was to readdress the house to the side street, bringing in a new entry to the middle of the house and separating public and private zones. this enabled us to reclaim the front garden as a private space, taking back a part of the site that previously was difficult to use, and giving privacy to the bedroom zone. the design provided two bedrooms and a study / nursery, as well as a dining room that could convert to a bedroom with the insertion of a bank of cabinets. the clients, who had no children when work commenced on the project, now have three – and they have converted the dining room to a bedroom as planned .
this house is composed of related indoor and outdoor zones that give an impressive sense of space .
by approaching the site as a whole rather than considering the house and garden separately, we were able to create a series of indoor and outdoor areas that relate to one another and give an impressive sense of space. despite this, the family has outgrown the accommodation. against my advice, the owners have decided to embark on another renovation. it is flattering that they love their house so much they want to remain in it, but the new rooms (a small sewing room and an additional study / bedroom on the north boundary) arguably erode the rationality of the plan. on the other hand, these changes, also designed by our office, do address one of the problems in the original design – the lack of northern orientation .
it is interesting to reflect on what has changed in our practice since 1999 – most significantly, a serious engagement with environmentally sustainable design. when we developed the original plan, we felt that we were taking passive solar principles into account. however, it was also a time when we privileged the aesthetic qualities of western light and were not overly troubled by the lack of northern orientation in the principle living room. happily, the recent changes address this .
ultimately rachel and i remain extremely proud of james street, and we can reflect on it as an encapsulation of many of the ideas that have been developed and extended in our practice .
there are so many gratifying aspects to the project, not least that it won a victorian chapter royal australian institute of architects award for alterations and additions in 2000, a welcome endorsement from our profession .

rising up the steep escarpment of the entry pathway, i am surrounded by the most gorgeous, soft, lazy australian vegetation. all blue and green and smelling good. my brain is meandering back to the grampians, and i have to stop and secure my footing to get a first look at the building the presence of which i have constantly felt standing sentinel at the top of this challenging and delightful site. there it is; an expanse of white canvas for all of those eucalyptus trees to paint their shadows on in an ever - changing exhibition of australian art. mark kader’s landscape design reveals his horticulturalist tendencies – he clearly loves native vegetation, and in the laver garden, with a clear vision for this blank canvas, he has nimbly negotiated the steepness of the site to paint it with vigour .
the impossibly vertical ascension to the house comes to a grinding halt in the considerably compressed horizontal space of the entry porch. suddenly i have arrived in the house, and my pent - up gaze floods out in multiple directions across the horizontal plane, always with as strong a connection to the landscape as the architecture. i absorb the living space and am already out in the rear courtyard enjoying the open fireplace before i have even passed the entry threshold. that’s what this house does so well. it entices you up – concealing everything during the eternal entry promenade, and then revealing everything in a single moment. you want to stay because you feel protected and connected in equal measure .

the melbourne studio responded by designing a house that draws on arts and crafts architecture – a style that overlapped with the edwardian era – through its combination of crafted materials and decorative forms .
other details used to create this aesthetic include white - painted brickwork, a patterned semi - transparent wall and a swimming pool lined with vibrant blue tiles .
in finding a workable model, we looked to the arts and crafts movement and its proto - modernist philosophies ,
they continued .
many of our architectural interests aligned with the ideas and aesthetics of the movement: expressive function, picturesque planning, and the exposition of the crafts of building .
the house replaces another building that the clients had lived in previously, before briefly moving away. they found that their last home couldn' t cope with their large family – seven members in total .
the new building deals with this by separating different areas. the family' s main living and dining spaces are located in a pavilion - like structure towards the front of the site, while bedrooms and quieter lounge areas are housed in a two - storey block behind .
the living room block features the pyramid - shaped roof, which is clad externally with ceramic tiles and lined internally with cedar. sliding glass doors allow the building to open out to both the swimming pool and a barbecue terrace, with the overhang of the roof creating a sheltered patio .
the barbecue itself is integrated into a sculptural chimney stack, featuring handmade edwardian - inspired chimney flues, matching the one located above the fireplace in the main house .
by contrast, the two - storey building at the rear of the site features a more contemporary mono - pitched roof. apart from the master suite, all the bedrooms are located on the upper floor, leaving the ground free for other activities .
the facade of this block is divided up by different materials. deep - set windows reveal the depth of the brickwork, while horizontal concrete stripes indicate floor slabs and vertical lengths of cedar frame built - in wardrobes .
substantial, textural, durable, low maintenance materials and surfaces – all selected for their ability to age in place – will ensure that the house improves with age, that it celebrates patina and that the materials reach their aesthetic potential through wear and time ,
said the architects .
past projects include a house extension with a circular hole for children to climb through and a courtyard house built with recycled bricks, concrete and rough - sawn timber .

studio manager - a permanent part - time position; potential to extend to full - time position in the future. - administration experience in an architecture or design practice is favourable but not essential. - human resource experience is favourable but not essential. - interest in working in a creative and cohesive environment .
and it is this sense of discerning ability that shines throughout the project. responsive to its context with a strong relationship to the surrounding landscape, the architects show how the careful design and layout of spaces can support and reinforce human relationships evident from the house’s floor plan and the role it plays in supporting family life whilst also bestowing individual privacy on the occupants who inhabit it .
as well as its structure and peaceful atmosphere, st kilda west house also has a strong environmental focus. solar panels and a cross ventilation system have been created in strategically placed outdoor spaces (notably the two courtyards and the swimming pool); whereas the use of thermally efficient building materials and onsite water storage, render the house energy efficient, another key part of the project brief .
situated in a beautiful natural location, the house has a strikingly peaceful ambiance aided by the light interiors that are punctuated by views of the surroundings through occasional glass walls and windows. with its views of the swimming pool and plant life in the courtyards, its residents are brought even closer to the great outdoors .

in 1950, he won the dunlop prize, which facilitated his first visit to britain and europe. following in drysdale' s footsteps, he attracted significant attention in england, where he settled in 1955, although he continued to travel extensively around the globe. he undertook a wide variety of projects involving different types of art, including: engraving and lithography, as well as book illustration (for robert lowell' s poetry) and theatrical set designs for stravinsky' s opera the rite of spring (1962, royal opera house, london). in 1963, he was appointed commander of the order of the british empire, for services to art in britain. in 1981 he was knighted for services to art, and became a member of the order of merit in 1983. in 1988 he was made a companion of the order of australia (ac). he was also elected an honorary member of the american academy of arts, and a member of the london royal academy of arts .

reeves recently sat down with yahoo movies to promote war for the planet of the apes where he continued to draw parallels between caesar and bruce wayne as well as discuss telling an
emotional batman story .
the director says this .
it' s my hope to tell a very emotional batman story, and i see a very strong parallel between (batman and caesar) because they' re both damaged characters who are grappling to do the right thing in a very imperfect world. a world that' s filled with all of the corruption that is human .
. you can use metaphors of the genre to talk about (a lot) .
the batman has gone through numerous production challenges over the last few years, but it may finally be back on track under the helm of matt reeves. the director has done an amazing job on the planet of the apes series so far, praised for his unique vision, so hopefully reeves brings that unique point of view to the batman. war for the planet of the apes hits theaters in a few weeks and has already been gaining rave reviews from critics and fans and production of the batman is reportedly ready to start soon afterwards .

the project is predicted on two aims: 1. making the whole site and the whole building available to its user. 2. creating contrasts so that living in this house can accommodate different experience of seasons, times of day and function. the approach was to re - orient the house to a logical frontage, and reclaim the large front garded with a high fence. the front garden now has a role normally assumed by the rear garden, allowing the possiblity of colonising the whole
of the rear of the site with pavilions, courts and decks. it is now possible to be in every part of the block, and see it from boundary to boundary. the house is formally zoned. the private zone is made up of rooms which are dark, cool and quiet containing bedrooms, study, bathrooms and a grown - ups sitting room. the' public' zone is fragmented, light - filled and blurs inside and outside, this contains the kitchen, it is where visitors come and children play .

on a site accommodating a non - descript factory the clients’ brief was for a best fit multiple residential building with realisable commercial value. the existing factory building remains as a memory of the light industrial history of this corner site in fitzroy. the new building clearly expresses a change of use for its site and represents the evolution of an inner city suburb. the new form that grows from this ground floor masonry plinth is lightweight yet muscular in its form, blank in daylight becoming delicate and transparent in the night .
the three dwellings are contained within a collection of forms which are enigmatic. this building challenges the viewer to look up and decipher the meaning and inner workings behind the silent, sober forms. there is a trajectory of the building from day into night. blank and inscrutable by day, at night it transforms into a series of lanterns equally mysterious but also public spirited in their illumination .
this project is part of a series of buildings from this practice which attempt to re - interpret brutalism in architecture, seeking to capture the strength and drama of brutalist form and emphasise the texture and luxury of blank surfaces, the possibilities of hand - crafted modernism .
designed for a family of seven occupants, deepdene house replaces the client’s previous home, which couldn’t cope with the demands of such a large family. sloping down towards the street, deepdene is split programmatically into two sub - houses. towards the front of the block, the pavilion like structure contains the main living and dining spaces, whilst sleeping quarters are housed in the two - storey block behind. a slender glass corridor connects the two structures. with a family of seven, that’s probably a pretty smart move .
keeping the neighbours happy and maybe making them a little envious too, the front house exhibits to the street a hot - to - trot ceramic shingle roof which is broken by a couple of edwardian chimney flue details and their monolithic white stacks. one of the chimneys serves as an outdoor fireplace, taking the humble barbecue to a whole new level .
moving beyond an impressive vertically oriented hit and miss brick wall lays a swimming pool that is tiled in a rich aquatic blue, providing a vibrant offset to the open plan living arrangement within. surrounding the pool are a few edwardian arches, an elegant timber solution for a pool barrier and a simple but pretty outdoor shower .
by contrast, the two - storey second house is a modern timber, concrete and brick structure that plays the simple roll of being a backdrop for the front house. with a sequence of lush landscaping elements filling the space between, the house offers a truly simple yet sophisticated way of living for that family of seven .
located in melbourne’s inner city suburbia, deepdene kicks some pretty mean modern - architecture ass by demonstrating how the design process can be beautifully and delicately driven by context. because of its epic architectural design, deepdene house won the australian institute of architecture (aia) award in 2016 in the category for residential architecture .

patrick freyne spends 24 hours on o' connell street, dublin. video: darragh bambrick & bryan o' brien
i walk down o’connell street in dublin every day. with its lovely width, trees and monuments, it should be a destination, but most people are passing through, as i am. shoppers, clubbers, tourists and commuters generally go there on their way to somewhere else .
there are different worlds on o’connell street. groups of foreign workers socialise in the casinos dotted between the disused buildings on the northwest side of the street. well - heeled people visit the gresham hotel across the road. there’s an unofficial drugs market on the stretch between north earl street and lower abbey street. homeless, addicted and heartbroken people congregate there during the day and disappear at night. across the road religious people of different denominations evangelise, philosophise and debate at the gpo .
these groups interact only occasionally and seem invisible to each other. at night, between the hours the pubs close and the nightclubs end, it’s a surprisingly lonely, quiet place. there are some hopeless people on o’connell street, but there are also a lot of kind people there: the flower - seller i met who buys food for young homeless people every morning, the mcdonald’s security man who checks if passersby are okay at night, the old woman who recited a poem for me. as the newspaper seller austin cregan says, “all human life is here. ”
well, all human life is funny and strange and dignified and debased and moving... and, after 24 hours, overwhelming. like o’connell street .
5. 50am “i had a man in the back of the cart last week, ” says phil o’brien, a street cleaner with dublin city council. on the stretch of o’connell street between north earl street and lower abbey street, he explains, drug dealers hide drugs in the bins, and the man was rooting through the rubbish looking for his drugs .
i didn’t want to delve straight into o’connell street’s drug problem in this article, but the street cleaners at the depot are eager to talk about it. o’brien has had drug addicts asking him for used needles. all the cleaners are terrified of having their fingers pricked by syringes.
