Client: Barbara Flynn Pty Ltd & Milani Gallery
Location: M&C Saatchi Headquarters, Sydney
Project type: Integrated Art
Completed: not realised (2021)

During 2021 we collaborated with artist D Harding, public art curator Barbara Flynn, client group M&C Saatchi, refurbishment architect Woods Bagot, and structural engineers TTW on Dā€™s artwork at the M&C Saatchi headquarters in Sydney. The integrated artwork takes the form of two staircases to be constructed within the heritage fabric of the former Transport House of New South Wales.

Our contribution to this project was to assist D in the development of the spatial, material, and construction qualities of their artwork. As the concept developed we provided hand sketches and detailed documentation for: client review, costing, engineering, certification (including DDA compliance), presentation to the City of Sydney; and ultimately construction drawings.
