OFFICE is a charitable not-for-profit design and research practice.
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
We are so excited to have Simon Robinson, architect and director of OFFICE, at Weaving 2026! OFFICE is charitable design and research practice based in Melbourne. Their projects span the intersections of built form, research, discourse, and education. As a registered charity, the studio’s operations, processes, and outputs are bound by a constitution to deliver projects for the public good. This approach to practice has led OFFICE to provide architectural and design services to a range of vulnerable communities—from leading feasibility studies for public housing estate refurbishments across Melbourne to delivering culturally appropriate, climate-resilient housing alongside First Nations communities in the Northern Territory. This alternative mode of practice interrogates our relationship to the built environment as architects and landscape architects: how might we work within the limits of our profession to develop ethical projects that hold social, cultural, and environmental integrity?

UNBUILT × RETAIN, REPAIR, REINVEST Also exhibiting at Hebart Hall this weekend is RETAIN, REPAIR, REINVEST, an independent exhibition by OFFICE. Exploring the potential of existing buildings, the exhibition challenges the assumption that architectural progress must begin with demolition and replacement. Through a collection of architectural models, photographs and research, RETAIN, REPAIR, REINVEST makes a case for working with what we already have. For recognising the social, cultural and environmental value embedded in our built environment. The exhibition will be presented independently within Hebart Hall, alongside UNBUILT. 16 + 18 October Hebart Hall, North Adelaide @___office Photography by @benhoskingphotographer

Congratulations to the recipients of the Alastair Swayn Foundation’s 2026 Australian Design Grants. This year’s Australian Design grants support five projects exploring new ideas and approaches across architecture, design, policy, fashion, landscape and community. Congratulations to: Dr Amina Kaskar - Farm Gate Commons: Designing Reciprocal Infrastructures for Migrant Agrarian Life OFFICE - Rain Makers: Forensic Cartography and First Nations Water Rights in Ali Curung [Kaytetye Country] Dr Marius Foley, Associate Professor Natalia Radywyl, Professor Andrea Siodmok OBE & Professor Jung-Joo Lee - Signals >> Future Policy Design Dr Tassia Joannides & Dr Daphne Mohajer - Fashion Refusal: Acts of Resistance and Regeneration Matthew Bird - Reimagining Fountains Callan Green & Lindsay Le Gros - Off-Grid Architecture for Regional Communities We look forward to following the development of these projects and sharing their research and outcomes over the year ahead. Farm Gate Commons explores how migrant communities in Western Sydney build shared spaces through cultivation, making, exchange, and care—reimagining the farm stall as a site of collective life and a social commons. @amina_kaskar Rain Makers will use techniques in geo-spatial analysis and digital modelling to investigate and document cultural and environmental destruction caused by the intensive water extraction on Kaytetye Country. @___office @runningwatercommunitypres @aridlandsec @arlpawe.artists @liminal_laboratory Signals >> Future Policy Design recognises the consequential role policy design plays in Australian design and innovation and creates a network to make design a prominent contributor to Australian public decision-making. Drawing on Australia’s post-war fountains, the project explores how civic infrastructure can support urban cooling, biodiversity, social connection and vibrant public spaces. @studiobird A publication documenting the research and ideas of the Fashion Refusal exhibition, which examines the regenerative opportunities of ‘refusal’ as a way of resisting and reimagining the systems, norms, and aesthetics that underpin dominant destructive models within the fashion d

Back in stock. Aqua Nullius: First Nations Water Rights in Australia (OFFICE, Naarm/Melbourne). /// Link to store in bio. /// This book focuses on the concept of aqua nullius, the attempted application of the falsehood of terra nullius to water. The book highlights the voices of First Nations people interviewed from across Australia about their cultural relationships to water. This is a publication of over 20 interviews structured around four key themes: storytelling, water injustice, First Nations water management, and overturning aqua nullius.“ This book is a body of water. In these pages lies a collection of words, printed on to paper, pooling together here like the confluence of a river. Each stream of vibration carrying meaning, from thoughts, to sounds, to shapes, arriving through their respective Country and the bodies, hearts, blood and mind of each custodian. Each speaker has held this knowledge in relationship to kin and community for thousands and thousands of years in an unbroken stream.” Jack Mitchell (editor)Contributors include: Alex Bond, Colleen Raven Strangways, Dave Wandin, David Collard, Erin O’Donnell, Hozaus Claire, Jack Mitchell, Jim Everett, Joseph Williams Jungarayi, Josie Douglas, Kazan Brown, Maureen O’Keefe, Melissa Kennedy, Norman Frank Jupurrurla, Oliver Costello, Sophia Pearce, Sue Jackson, Tony Birch, Troy McDonald, Noel Nannup, Virginia Marshall. #perimeterbooks @___office
