Double recognition for a project we’re incredibly proud to have brought to life!

1 Hotel Melbourne has been shortlisted in two categories at the 2026 Sustainability Awards: Hospitality & Tourism and Adaptive Reuse.

From breathing new life into the historic Goods Shed No.5 to embedding sustainability throughout the architecture, interiors and guest experience, the project brings together heritage, hospitality and a more considered approach to design.

A proud moment for our team and everyone who helped bring 1 Hotel Melbourne to life. We look forward to celebrating this recognition in Sydney this November.

This Week’s Design Crush | Lambat Ni Pedro

This week, Pat shares Lambat Ni Pedro, a sculptural light by Filipino Australian designer John Gatip that we’ve recently specified for one of our projects.

Crafted from Tasmanian oak, capiz shells from the Philippines and freshwater pearls, the piece is a tribute to Gatip’s grandfather, a fisherman, drawing inspiration from the fishing nets and handmade hammocks that shaped his childhood. Through its materiality and form, it brings together Filipino heritage and Australian craftsmanship.

What Pat loves most is how the piece celebrates the designer’s heritage while reflecting the experience of building a life between two cultures, something she deeply relates to herself.

It’s a reminder that the most enduring design doesn’t just respond to function. It carries history, identity and personal stories into the present.

A home should be more than somewhere you return to.

It should be somewhere you can unwind.
Somewhere to reconnect.
Somewhere that brings a sense of calm from the moment you walk through the door.

That’s the quiet power of thoughtful design, creating spaces that people don’t simply admire, but genuinely want to live in.
