Molonglo sees property development as the willing of architecture into being; from an abstraction of drawings and ideas into something to be touched and lived in. Molonglo does this through design and architecture, property development and investment, research and publishing in Australia and Greece.
Molonglo’s development projects currently include a mixed-use building named Public Office that is positioned as a new centre for creative work in Collingwood, Australia. In Canberra, Australia we are slowly creating a neighbourhood named Dairy Road where light industry, working, living, recreation and entertainment will co-exist in a natural setting. Our Athenian residential refurbishments are an act of reverse ruination across multiple sites. These spaces are for commercial lease or residential rent or sale.
Together these projects span a range of geographies, scales and outcomes. Over the years we have learned to value small interventions, approaching them with the same level of care as we would a large project. We have found that modest projects have the potential to be powerful prototypes; becoming exemplars of what is possible, against the backdrop of previous impossibility.
Molonglo’s publishing projects include: Marble in Metamorphosis, a narrative non-fiction and photography book that contemplates the physical and cultural life of marble; Landscape as Protagonist, which imagines landscape as the place to begin a built project, not a way to finish it; and Designing with Difference, a publication that looks beyond building code and universal design to truly accessible built space.
Molonglo has been operating since 1964. Our process is often collaborative and cross-disciplinary, which allows for enormous fluidity, flexibility and disjunction in creative making. Ideologically, this process reflects our belief that to foster healthy, cohesive and tolerant societies, we need to accept messy arrangements – whether they be political, social or aesthetic.
