La Plage du Pacifique Vanuatu
Kristin Green Architecture
13.06.13
Kristin Green of Kristin Green Architecture invited photographer Peter Bennetts to accompany her to La Plage du Pacifique, Vanuatu. The resulting photographs are anything but “in progress” documentation.
Green has bravely allowed Bennetts to present her work at it’s most vulnerable but revealing such strength of form that we can already imagine the finished work.
We see the bones, the inner working, the structure – the important business of architecture before the detailing of surfaces and slick styling. This is architecture at its rawest.
Bennetts’ own unique vision has captured a profound stillness in the half-completed buildings and surrounding landscape. Time has shifted to such a degree that past, present and future/birth, life and decay, merge in one. Light and form create striking compositions that, rather than a direct descriptor, are more evocative of place.
Green is also the architect responsible for the Spring Street Grocer mini-complex. To all her projects she brings a vitality, commitment to concept and a quirky sense of purpose, and this most recent collaboration with entrepreneur Con Christopoulos and photographer Peter Bennetts is no exception.

Huski Lodge Falls Creek
Elenberg Fraser Architecture
19.06.05
Apartment hotel Huski sits amongst the snow gums in my favorite Australian mountain resort of Falls Creek. Elenberg Fraser's faceted facade was inspired by the crystalline forms of snow flakes. Best of all the Huski Produce Store serves the best coffee on the hill (and you can ski to the front door).
