KERRY HILL + STUDIO ONGARATO + ORCHARD PIPER, 1:75 and 1:4000

Unveiled at the elegant display suite on 448 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, a trio of all-timber models served to highlight the vision of Kerry Hill Architects, Orchard Piper, and Studio Ongarato. Crafted in Sydney before being transported to the display suite in Melbourne, these models demonstrated a harmonious blend of artistry and precision. The first, a 1:75 building model fashioned from solid rock maple rested on a sleek brass plinth, lending a sense of refined grandeur to the overall presentation. A second model, scaled at 1:2000 and wall-mounted, depicted all of Melbourne in the same timber medium, offering a captivating citywide perspective. Completing the set was a 1:75 sectional model that revealed an in-depth look at the building’s base amenity. Each component was meticulously carved to showcase the timeless aesthetic of natural timber, reflecting the design ethos of the collaborators.
