‘Mezcla’

The design of Mezcla blends and blurs imagery from within the valley to afar in an attempt to describe the sheer expansive depths of the Bundanon landscape; the multiple horizons and the horizontality of the built form bridging the valley, stretching the view of landscape, the undulating green valley, the verticality of the Eucalyptus trees, dappled light and the fogged atmosphere that blurs all definition between the composition of these elements that define the Bundanon landscape; blurred edges and undefined lines.

The layered imagery and painterly blends attempt to respond to this unique precinct and the compositional landscape through mystery, hiaroscuro, colour and the deletion of detail; in the vein of merging Henson with Caravaggio.

3RDRM is a small studio practice with a focus on an exploratory architectural design process allowing for shifts in scale and refinement of form. The studio develops on the small intricate project allowing design innovation to evolve through a synthesis of simple architectural narratives, and the purity of geometry and detail. The studio extends its creative focus across multiple design disciplines in architecture, interiors, art and jewellery.
