Hi there,

I was lucky enough yesterday to be invited to listen to Ian Moore at Bond University on the Gold Coast.

Born in New Zealand, Ian Moore is one of Australia’s most applauded architects, easily recognisable by his minimalism and endless immaculate open spaces.

He was a pioneer in 

• Use of large scale bi-fold doors capable of totally disappearing, leaving no boundaries between in and out.
• Extensive use of louvers of all sizes to regulate sun penetration for heat and light control. Moore also appreciates the fact that they project ever changing shadows on all surfaces and procure privacy.
• Concept of 'facility hub', placed in most of his project at the centre of the building, containing all the commodities (kitchen, bathroom, laundry and toilet) and allowing the extensive use of the rest of the floor space for open plan living.

It was very interesting to hear him talking about how he applies passive design principles to each of his projects to create sustainable buildings.

Ian was extremely friendly and approachable, we even had a little chat about France, since he was there just few days ago and of course he instantly picked up my French accent.

I wanted to share with you some pictures of his work... enjoy the feeling of space.

   

 

 

Take care.
Brigitte.
