Tonight one of the project's sponsors is holding a function for their clients, showcasing the use of their products in the Terraces. The external works here are still incomplete and cannot be completed by this afternoon. Even though the internal works are practically complete, I feel this still unfortunately reflects less than favourably on our Terrace.
By the end of the day the water feature in the lightwell will be operational and the framing for the external storage cupboards should be up. Weather looks ideal for the inside outside function this evening.

Wan, one of our architects, has produced the artwork to fit the recessed panels along the western wall through the living area. Like the remnant wall and bluestone block, the artwork acknowledges the age and history of the original building. One image is an iconoclastic colourised shot of the existing rusting chimney cowls - these being part of the historic streetscape. The other takes the floral or leaf motif of a layer of vinyl flooring, found amongst the many successive layers of floor finishes - linoleum, vinyl tiles and several different carpets - and overlays it on sections of old newspaper which had been used for as the underlay.
