This would be funny if it wasn’t real. The @cityofsydney is spending $32m upgrading Crown Street and widening footpaths and then sticks this in the middle of it. It’s almost like you hate pedestrians @CloverMoore

"One of the reasons for writing a book about my experience has been to let go of secrets, the shame and the stress I've held onto for four decades" Books such as these help others heal their shame, too, forgive themselves.

Today marks my return to the @afrmag fold after 17 years with a story about an extraordinary house that redefines what's possible in architecture. afr.com/life-and-luxury/arts…
How an architect of luxury digs designed his own (3.3m-wide) home

How an architect of luxury digs designed his own (3.3m-wide) home

The house was designed by (and for) SJB principal Adam Haddow. It's built on a tiny, unloved slice of land in Sydney's Surry Hills that is just 30sqm. The living area of the house itself is only 69sqm spread over three levels.
