2009.The National award for small project architecture … Polygreen, Northcote, VIC, designed by Bellemo and Cat.



The central idea for this inner Melbourne project was to create a container for living and working that, whilst still engaging with all the site issues of the industrial neighbourhood, enabled us to take a thread from the first cocoon we spun for ourselves in Wye River and weave it into the fabric of this next home for ourselves.
 

The building is wrapped on three sides in a translucent printed skin, the third side allows for Northern glazing.
