OneFourFive Clarendon by Studio Brave

 neFourFive Clarendon is a modern workspace, developed by Salta, designed by Architectus and created for future-focused businesses looking to situate themselves in Southern Melbourne. The development aims to attract like-minded progressive people with a conscious focus on connectivity and local activity. With this in mind, Melbourne-based Studio Brave developed the narrative ‘A Life Unlimited’ as a way to express how the building will allow businesses and their employees to achieve the contemporary model of a professional-lifestyle balance. This narrative is complemented by a graphic identity that intends to subvert the boundaries of expectation within the commercial property landscape in the confluence of bold contemporary typography and colour, materials and finishes that evoke the context-sensitive tectonics, layers and composition of the building, and photography by Josh Robenstone of the Southern Melbourne urban landscape.

OneFourFive Clarendon is described as a contemporary environment that reimagines the modern workspace through flexibly designed interiors, a light-filled open stairwell and generous outdoor terraces created to foster collaboration and wellbeing. This is born from the Architectus design philosophy of “people, purpose, place, planet and production”. The building has a context specificity, referencing the industrial past of the area by way of corrugated concrete, tensile cables and metal frames. These combine to complement the surrounding urban space, celebrating the traditional materials of the local streets and laneways.

How Not to Ruin your Design Review

  Take care of your valuables! We’ve all been there. The Dev team has worked really hard to nail down a search results page they think will really help users. You pull up your slide deck and start walking the stakeholders through it. “Okay, here’s what the user sees after they log in,” you say to the assembled throng. It’s good to start with the familiar, you’ve heard. “Wait, that’s not the right time zone,” the VP of marketing points out. “This is just fake data,” you say, hoping to get back on track quickly. “Nobody has   that many books on their shelf. Why are you showing so many books?” “Lots of our users have really large shelves,” you stammer. “But we’re not reviewing the book shelf design right now.” “I don’t like that font. Why is it so blocky?” And on, and on. What happened? (A side note: I have committed EVERY ONE of these mistakes. And I hope you can learn from my errors!) Remember to Begin Before You Start Prep is everything in a meeting like this. If you don’t ha...

The Science Behind Design: 8 Psychology Principles to Apply to Your Next Project

  When it comes down to it, design is all about making choices. Each color, shape, line, font, text, and graphic you use will ultimately influence the message you're trying to get across. I’ve often been in conversations with people who know they  should  get better at design, but they don’t feel they have a “natural sense” for creativity. However, I argue that learning to design well has as much to do with psychology and user behavior as it does creativity. But learning the "psychology of design" doesn’t mean picking up a playbook that'll tell you the right and wrong way to design something. That's just not the way it works. Download the free introductory guide to marketing psychology here.  What brushing up on psychological principles (as they relate to design)  will  do is help you understand what goes into the creation of intuitive, intentional design experiences.  Want to learn more? We'll dive into a handfu...
