broadway bathrooms
The Broadway Shopping Centre amenities are being upgraded by Crone Partners Architects, at Mirvac's signature shopping centre close to the city. The colours in the amenities and corridors, change on the various floors, to help navigate the shopper through the centre, key to the way finding and signage strategy. In keeping with the centres strong branding theme "be you", the amenities are the first stage in a series of projects to rejuvenate the centre in an eclectic mix of artwork, colour and individuality.

one serendra
Hi! These photos were taken on a recent trip to Makati. So recent, I am now writing, lying in bed in my hotel room, on my last day of the trip.
We were lucky, because it is the raining season in the Philippines and the sun has been out the whole time. The pictures show photos of Serendra East Tower in Fort Bonifacio. Designed by Crone Partners in 2006 for Ayala Land Premier. One Serendra is a twin tower residential development promoting healthy green living. I felt very touristy, but had to get a photo in front of the advertising sign.
I have been working in the Philippines now for over 7 years and still amazed by how welcoming, kind and happy the Filipino people are. I wish I could take some of that mind set on life, back with me to Sydney.

beam me up
This light can be found walking the concourse level at Greenwood Shopping Plaza in North Sydney. We designed the ceilings late 2012 to use environmentally friendly materials, like the Plywood louvres that shape to form a curving spine at the centre. The futuristic lights are located at key entries to the mall and were developed with Phillips Lighting and Barrisol.
