You’ve heard me lament before about working on a weekend. It’s still true that I’d be a lot happier if I could spend the day in a work place as stylish as this. The joy of joinery. Plywood pleasure. Shiver. Mil Constructions’ warehouse, workshop and office by Doherty Design Studio.

The Cross Street Project

Posted on Fri, 24 Oct 2014 by midcenturyjo

So here’s the premise. You fall in love with a home in a magazine and want to buy it all. Right now. Lock, stock and barrel. Or you’re at an open for inspection and take a liking to the sofa or the vase or that print. Now you just can’t take it with you. Or can you? The Cross Street Project by C+M Studio allows you to buy into that impulse. You can buy the apartment empty, you can buy it all or you can shop the amazing objects that fill the space. Open for 3 weeks only from October 25 the apartment is in Bronte, Sydney but you can find all the details here.
