Recently climate history in Alphington (37.7808°S, 145.0312°E, 18m AMSL)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Alphington is a residential suburb immediately north of the Yarra River, 7 km north-east of central Melbourne. On its west is Fairfield and on its east is Ivanhoe.

Farm-size land sales in Alphington coincided with those in the Northcote and Fairfield district in 1840. Most of Alphington was bought by three persons. Most easterly, Thomas Wills bought 71 ha running down to the river where the Latrobe golf club is now situated. He built the 'Lucerne' homestead (1840-1960), but soon disposed of it and built the grander 'Willsmere' on the other side of the river in Kew. The westerly purchaser was the Howitt brothers, important Port Phillip and post gold-rush personalities. Howitt thought the ‘situation delicious and the slopes most graceful’. The purchaser of the middle portion was Charles Roemer, who soon on-sold, but his name is commemorated in Roemer Crescent, off Lucerne Crescent.

The purchaser of Roemer's land was Sir William Manning who, recognising the place's potential for a resting place between Melbourne and Heidelberg, laid out a village and named it after his birthplace in Devonshire. By 1865 Alphington was mainly occupied by market gardens, and vineyards, with a post office, butcher, baker, general store and two hotels, one being the Darebin Bridge. The Heidelberg Road was a route to gold diggings at St Andrews and in upper Gippsland. The Wesleyan Chapel was built in 1859 and survives as part of the Uniting Church's group of buildings.

By the 1880s the speculative potential of Alphington land attracted attention, and the Government built a short railway line from Clifton Hill to Alphington (but lacking railway connection from Clifton Hill to Melbourne or anywhere else). The next year Alphington was in the midst of two proposed, but circuitous, railway connections: from Heidelberg, and from Oakleigh via the land-booming Outer Circle line, but both reaching Melbourne by a westerly loop to the Spencer Street station. In a few years' time land sales for houses were promoted - for Gentlemen's Residences and, to the north, for the Working Man. A few large villas were built. The Tower Hotel at the corner of Heidelberg and Old Heidelberg Roads, was built in 1891. A direct railway journey via Jolimont to Melbourne began in 1901.

The Ivanhoe and Alphington Progress Association promoted the district at the turn of the century (both were in Heidelberg shire), noting that Alphington had a fine navigable river, good fishing, and an excellent public hall and tennis courts (1908).

In 1919 Alphington's most public group of buildings was begun when the Australian Paper Mills bought the Woodlands estate beside the Chandler Highway (former Outer Circle railway line). Its first machine, mainly making board for containers, ran from the opening of the factory in 1921 until 1971. Water was pumped from the Yarra River for paper making. A railway siding brought in waste paper for recycling. The mill was criticised for unacceptable air and water emissions, and the company was obliged to apply environmental controls. It was decommissioned in 2011 and the 16 ha site rezoned for residential living, but the company did not fully vacate the site until late 2012 after it sustained a number of fires and a toxic spill into the Yarra. After its sale in 2013 the Alphington Paper Mill Action Group lobbied for height restrictions on the new development, setbacks from the Yarra River and the inclusion of community and educational facilities.

Alphington has a varied building stock extending from the 1890s to the interwar period. It has a small shopping centre on Heidelberg Road, Alphington Park with a bowling club and oval, the Alphington primary school (1885) (391 pupils, 2014), a Catholic primary school (1919) and Alphington Grammar School (1989) established by the Greek Orthodox community. South of the school there is the Latrobe Golf Club (c1938), bordered on two sides by the Yarra River.

Lucerne Crescent, in the Lucerne Estate (1885), has several grand villas, some designed by Desbrowe Annear. Artists William McInnes and Jock Frater lived there. Alphington's eastern border includes the Darebin Parklands on Darebin Creek.

Alphington's median house price in 1987 was 17% above the median for metropolitan Melbourne and in 1996 it was 67% above the metropolitan median. At the 2011 census resident's median incomes were 47% above the Victorian median and 42% of employed residents were classified as professional (Victoria 22.3%).

Alphington's census populations have been:

Alexander House

Alexander &CO.
Australia

Located in a heritage context, Alexander House provides a highly flexible, co-working environment. It is an architectural showcase, as much a house, as it is a place for idea incubation and recreation.

Alexander House is a thesis, prototype and a place for the team and community to test out and challenge ideas, as well as a space to host creative conversations and events. The project champions the local craftspeople and also provides a working space to explore sustainability techniques, carbon sequestration and environmental innovation.

Key technologies, principles and innovations have been integrated to the build as part of an ongoing commitment to a goal of circular economics by 2022 - zero carbon and zero-landfill. The project incorporates a solar system that supplies 60 to 80 percent of the daily electrical supply and there is a solar hot water system with two underground tanks storing 22,000 litres to supply the sanitary and internal water filtration system. Mandatory cross-ventilation and a west-facing glass block wall section allows for light input and heat exclusion while a rooftop, west-facing terrace and mass screening prevent heat absorption. An externally insulated and internally thermally massive wall system creates an ambient, internal temperature. Reclaimed, harvested and reused timbers have been employed and handmade rammed earth bricks and panels made from recycled building waste were used in the build.

The project is a creative collaboration of makers and thinkers, and each new material, progressive technology or detail is the result of collaborative innovation. At its very core, Alexander House is a forward-thinking, design laboratory that supports a diversity of uses and challenges engagement with one another and the environment and encourages enterprise and innovation.

Intuitive wayfinding, creative color usage and an efficient workspace layout define the new offices of Appodeal in Minsk, making it a striking example for others to follow.

Studio11 completed the interior design for ad mediation company Appodeal, located in Minsk, Belarus.

A new 1000 sq.m. office of Appodeal company is an entire detached five-storied building with interior design developed by Studio11. The special-volumetric and functional-planning structure of the building consists of a basement floor, 3 work floors, a terrace and a patio.

Open space concept is implanted into the office area of work floors, each of them having its own coffee point, lounge zone and meeting room and at the same time drastically contrasting one another in terms of style, space design planning techniques, applied materials and color.

Stylistic-wise we set course for designing a light and clear accent-bright area through putting color and material emphasis on major bright volumes of separate blocks in the general clear and neutral space. Much attention is given to color and composition together with balance of volumes and harmonious combination of materials palette. An integral part of office interior and graphic design is a comprehensive navigation system which includes floor and wall markings alongside information signs and sign plates.

We put special focus on illumination of transparent glass staircase blocks and light them up with gradient colors. These radiant cubes add a peculiar mysterious touch to the building and make it stand out of the street layout right in the city center.

The ground floor is filled with various functions. It houses the front entry zone, administration block, work space and a large inviting kitchen. To have all these neighboring harmoniously, the floor is designed as a neutral white space filled with colorful material volumes which embody this or that type of activity.

The layout of the first and second floors completes two tasks at a time - the work space is used up to its fullest efficiency and at the same time it doesn't feel like a huge open space. Work zones are separated by common coffee points, WCs and lounge zones.

The first floor is different from the other ones by the presence of super graphics being an interior constitutive factor. The remaining techniques conform with the color palette and graphics scale. The main technique used on the second floor was marking and differentiating certain zones with splashes of color limited by a graphic system of floor navigation - this itself organized the space. A lounge-podium along the perimeter is an essential element as well. Since it is a usable roof floor, the work zone has a strict height limitation leaving plenty of unused space underneath the skylight - the space which we used as a big joint lounge zone.

The ground floor is mainly intended for playing/chilling/stretching your legs in the course of the working day, therefore it has a play room, a ping pong room, a massage room, lounges and a big informal meeting room.

The terrace is supposed to be a hangout spot in the warm season with a bar, plenty of greenery and transportable furniture - a place with a perfect romantic view of the Riverwalk and city center.

Indesign Live: Interior Design and Architecture

We've learnt very rapidly just how closely enmeshed work and life can become. For those living in lengthy lockdowns, the realities of living, working and/or home-schooling from the one location have thrown up benefits and challenges alike.

We've been liberated from the dreaded daily commute, gifted more time for ourselves and family, but also cut off from the social interactions and everyday human connections that we once took for granted. Technology has rapidly adapted to work around us, allowing us to better collaborate while still being remote. But the transition to a hybrid style of working has also thrown up accessibility challenges too.

At the INDE.Summit's Ecosystems Of Commercial Space In The Indo-Pacific, chaired by Simone Oliver of Architectus, we learnt that amidst a period of rapid change and remodelling there is emerging a new series of lifelines for organisations and communities alike. But these require courage and a willingness to challenge the traditional frameworks of human resources, real estate, city planning and workplace design.

In the view of panellist James Calder, global director, user strategy at ERA-co, the 9-to-5 bums-in-seats model of working had already lasted well beyond its use-by date - even before the pandemic hit. "We've been able to work flexibly for 15 years - quite easily. But that hasn't really happened," he notes. The onset of the pandemic and the mass-movement to working-from-home has had the effect of a "hard disk thrust into a cloud computing space". Something had to break. And as Calder points out, everything has fragmented. It's time to reformat organisations around a new way of working.

Greatly impacting people's willingness to return to a traditional mode of office working is the commute. As Nayan Parekh, principal and consulting and real estate services leader at Gensler, points out, the logistics around travel strongly influence a person's decision to return to the office or remain working from home. Research conducted by Gensler indicates a vast majority of people will opt for a hybrid way of working. (For example, three days from the office, two from home.)

The silver lining to the "COVID cloud", as Mike Day co-founder of Roberts Day so pithily puts it, is the great and (now very real) potential of the 15-minute city. (That time does vary case-by-case). Essentially the idea is that all your daily needs are served within a 15-minute proximity of your home. From a sustainability point-of-view this micro-mobility approach is a no brainer: that you might walk or bike from home to your groceries, to your neighbourhood studio or co-working space. But it also feeds social and family wellbeing, being closer together, spending more time together. By creating "places where people can live, work, learn and play, we'll be better off", notes Day.

But this doesn't herald the death of the CBD - no matter how outdated the term 'central business district' might feel right now. Calder believes CBDs will still be critical. The emphasis will be on a "whole new offer from providers of space that is about shared communal space, which becomes your own when you need it", he says.

And while it's all up in the air, that's not a bad thing. Experimentation as a means to establishing a new future is key. As Rosemary Kirkby, principal of Rosemary Kirkby & Associates says, HR isn't going to arrive to give us the new workplace policies any time soon. Because it's not as simple as reducing desk space. We must question the very purpose of the workplace and its configuration. "The HR team have to move in with the real estate team and do it together," she notes.

Kirkby also points out one very important element in the complex working-futures equation, and that's people. For any organisation the imperative is to listen - and with courage. Because harnessing the voices of your people will pave the way for the future of your business. Tom Owens, managing director and principal at Gensler, is of a similar mind, noting that you must make decisions based on your people and your business, and apply this to your workplace. In this new-look hybrid working scenario there is no "silver bullet" or uniform approach.

"We've jumped the hurdle of acceptance of a hybrid way of working", says Kirkby. Let's not rush the discussion.
The full panel discussion is now available to stream on demand, along with the rest of the insight-rich panel discussions from the inaugural INDE.Summit programme.

With the whole world increasingly becoming more open to the idea of working from home, the office is firmly positioning itself as a place of human connection, collaboration and inspiration. Interpreting these concepts into a physical space, co-working brand Cloudworks tasked MESURA with the design of their latest office in the centre of Barcelona - a penthouse with 360-degree views of the city.

"Incorporating the brand's identity and that of its community, we built an office based on three key design principles in constant dialogue - function, identity and wellbeing," explains the design team. Wrestling with the overarching concept of private versus public space, inside and outside, MESURA set out to design an office as a continuous whole.

"Even more so in current times, it's become clear the office is more than just a place to work and concentrate," says the design team. "Working also implies meeting, cross-pollination across teams, conversation and finding new ideas. The contemporary office space includes both a private and a public role, yet one shouldn't hinder the other."

Cloudworks GV differentiates its social and public areas by using meeting rooms as a buffer while positioning a landing point in the middle - an informal meeting area set between the public and the private zones. Overall, the coworking space is open with all physical divisions removed, opening up the office to the panoramic views from the terrace - here, lush greenery is installed along the edges to act as a natural buffer from the city.

The project invites the Mediterranean climate inside the interior, while extending the office space outside. With an entirely monochrome colour palette, Cloudworks GV becomes a continuous whole, using a functional program to encapsulate all physical needs of the coworking office of today.
Related: Note Design Studio's Convention-busting Interior for Flexible London Workspace.
The interior's character resonates with a delicate use of light, colour and sustainable materials. Every area is given its own identity with custom-designed locally-made furniture pieces, creating a youthful and dynamic atmosphere. MESURA worked with Copenhagen-based Really - a company that upcycles end-of-life textiles into interesting, new materials that challenging the design industry to rethink its use of resources, and encourage it to design with the circular economy in mind.

With design and architecture disciplines increasingly turning to lifestyle-oriented and preventative approaches to healthy buildings, Cloudworks GV fitout incorporates the WELL Building Standard. WELL was founded on the understanding that all facets of our environment interact with personal, genetic and behavioural factors, and play a part in shaping our overall health and well-being - recognising that built environment can shape not only our physical health, but also our behaviour.

At the 2016 Census, Alphington had a population of 5,080. Bounded by the Yarra River in the south and Darebin Creek in the east, Alphington suburb shares the same post code with neighbouring suburb Fairfield.

There's a variety of housing styles from which to choose, from 1970s brick veneer and period style to modern townhouses and larger homes. A coveted area and tightly held area - Alphington median prices for both houses and apartments have grown significantly over the years. Alphington has plenty of green open space, such as the Darebin Parklands, Alphington Park and the Latrobe Golf Club.

Alphington has plenty of places to go and enjoy nature - from the Bowls Club (pictured above) to parks and Golf Courses, sports grounds, wetlands and bike paths. Nor far from Alphington is the popular Yarra Bend Park, which is the largest area of natural bushland left in inner Melbourne.

There's so much to do here from having a picnic to bush walking, mountain biking to hiring a boat or canoe from the Studley Park Boathouse. Plus take your pick from two Golf Courses - the Studley Park Golf Course or the Yarra Bend Golf Course.

The area around the Alphington railway station contains a stand of River Red Gum trees. The train station provides a direct link to the city (31 minutes) and neighbouring suburbs. A notable location in the part of Alphington to the south of Heidelberg Road is the revegetated wetlands. This area abuts the Yarra River, and includes the disused modification to the river bank once referred to as the Alphington Swimming Pool.

The Melbourne Innovation Centre is located north east of the railway station and adjacent to Darebin Creek Local schools include Alphington Grammar School, Alphington Primary School, and St Anthony's Primary School. However, Alphington residents north of Wingrove Street are within the zone for Fairfield Primary School.

Architects and designers have come up with inventive ways to create privacy in open-plan offices. From plants to tunnels, here are the floor plans of 10 workplaces that are divided in unusual ways.

The green room
Dutch studio Space Encounters used low walls topped with tropical plants to partition the 14th floor of a recently completed tower in central Utrecht.

The planters are designed to provide privacy to workers of Dutch property developer Synchroon, while adding greenery that will improve their wellbeing.

The inhabited wall
To divide the communal areas from the workspaces at Pocket Living's London office, Threefold Architects created a 40-metre-long wall from plywood spruce and light-grey steel.

The "inhabited wall" incorporates meeting rooms, wellness rooms, break out spaces and a canteen.

The colourful canopy
These offices for branding company Enlisted Design, designed by Medium Plenty, have been divided up using white partitions and plywood pegboard walls.

Against this neutral palette, a colourful canopy of blue, red and grey strings created by artist Annie Tull defines a route from the entrance to the workspaces.

The shapeshifter
Taking cues directly from the design of micro homes, Particular Architects incorporated moveable furniture into its own office so that it can easily be reconfigured.

Fold-down desks can be used to divide up the space, or stored so that the room can be used as a meeting space.

The tunnel
At the UK headquarters of advertising agency 18 Feet & Rising, architecture practice Studio Octopi created a dark and mysterious tunnel that leads from the offices to the board room.

The plywood tunnel divides up the office, while low plywood screens are used to separate the desk areas from communal spaces.

Melbourne's tallest building, the Eureka Tower, was completed 12 years ago but there's still one floor that's as empty as the day the last builder walked off site.

Level 85, only seven storeys from the top, is an enormous blank concrete canvas just waiting for a luxurious penthouse to spring up inside its glass perimeter.

Metal pipes are still visible running along the ceiling and PVC pipes protrude through the floor.

Aside from the enclosed central core of the apartment, which houses the elevator shaft, there are no internal walls.

That means there's nothing to block the panoramic views from Port Phillip Bay to the MCG, Royal Botanic Gardens, the CBD skyline, Yarra River and out to the Dandenong Ranges.

Architect Karl Fender helped lead the team from Fender Katsalidis which designed the 297-metre building, the second highest in Australia behind the Gold Coast's Q1.

He said the 85th floor, still in its raw state, is owned by Melbourne property developer Elias Jreissati, who currently lives just a couple of floors below.

"His apartment was designed for him and his family, but as the family has grown and moved they find themselves in a very big apartment," Mr Fender said.

"This apartment has the opportunity to design around a lifestyle which is perhaps not so oriented towards housing family members.

"He no doubt has property in a number of places around Australia and he saw the value in keeping this and not using it to bring income; he didn't need to use it to bring income.

"He's in a privileged position of being able to wait and plan and get it right for the next stage of his life."

The incredible piece of real estate will be open to the public as part of Open House Melbourne on July 28 and 29.

The bookable 30-minute visits will allow people to wander around the blank shell and admire the views and dream of their own penthouse lifestyle.

"This is quite unique because not very often does the general public see an apartment space before it has been fitted out," Mr Fender said.

"Here you see all the structural elements - you see cantilevered beams so we don't have columns in the apex of the windows, you see the mega columns that take the load of this whole building down to the ground, you see how the core works, how lifting works - before it has all been covered up.

"It's one thing to see a ceiling with lights and other equipment beautifully set out but this is the belly of it all.

"It's all very fascinating stuff I think and people enjoy to see that before it's all covered up."

Mr Fender said walking through the space allowed people to imagine how they would use such a remarkable apartment if it was their own.

"It can be quite intimidating because you look at this space and you think, 'Oh, how would I plan this?'" he said.

"What it makes you do is interrogate your own view about your own living requirements, what your preference for view and aspect is, and how different spaces can engage with each other.

"There's a lot that goes into the designing of any apartment, but certainly one of a whole floor.

"In smaller apartments it's about efficiency of space, in bigger apartments it's about scaling it so the spaces do feel like home and suit your lifestyle."

To take a peek inside level 85 you must book a tour through the Open House Melbourne website.

The first ticket release is on July 13 and the second is July 20.

Inside the eerie, empty 85th floor in Melbourne's tallest building

The rows of workstations where employees sit at the same desk year after year will be "less in demand" post COVID-19, says Architectus CEO Ray Brown.
Instead, Brown says companies should be drawing inspiration from the university "sticky campus" model if they want their employees to return to their office following the pandemic.

Architectus' 100 Mount Street in Sydney.

"A few years ago, universities moved lectures online and it changed the campus dynamics dramatically," he says.

"You no longer had a reason to go in to see the physical lecturer standing in front of you. Universities were forced to design 'sticky campuses' to attract students and make them want to come in."

Brown acknowledges that like students, employees will crave the social interaction of the office after working from home, but says that won't be enough to convince them to stick around.

"I've been into the office a few times since this all started and it's not great. You really do need to give people a better reason to return than just socialisation."

Architectus' 100 Mount Street in Sydney.

Architectus is currently exploring how it can make its studios in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth more agile.

"Early on, a lot of people were saying, 'This is the end of agile working. People have to have fixed workspaces. We're going back to offices.' But that's not really going to happen," he says.

"The reality will more likely be an agile workspace where you book a table, be there for a day, two days, then it will be fully cleaned out and ready for the next person."

Brown says agile workspaces with increased hygiene measures are preferable to the "A-team and B-team" rostering used by many companies at the moment, where less people come into the office in alternating shifts.

For architects and designers, Brown envisions offices becoming clubs for collaboration, studying samples and materials and engaging in social tasks and workshops that can't be done online.

Architectus is considering incorporating a gym into its studios and transforming its biggest meeting room, which seats 20, into an "ideation lab" where team members can "attack problems" over a handful of days.

"In our own example, discussions were really around, 'Well, how do we make it interesting and exciting and dynamic enough that people want to come back to the office?'," Brown says.

"What are the key functions that we need to do when we are together? And how can the office space change to be more conducive to those specific tasks?

"This crisis has shown that remote working is successful and those big formal meetings, for example, can be done more productively on Zoom. You don't need to waste all that time going to meetings in the city."

Architectus' Barrack Place office building in Sydney

From a design perspective, Brown says those currently working on office fitouts will experience some upheaval, especially around how much workspace clients will need.

"We're in the middle of a couple of interior workspaces at the moment. One organisation in particular has recognised immediately the benefits of remote working and is changing the model of how it will operate," he says.

"People are really adaptable. Just look at how quickly we all adapted to remote working. We should be looking at how we can implement, make permanent and take advantage of all the good things we've learnt from this," he adds.

"As a design practice, we're focused on how we can be more dynamic, flexible and agile and I'm sure all of our clients are doing the same."

Architectus completed a number of workplaces prior to COVID-19 including the State Library Victoria's new co-working space, StartSpace.

The practice also picked up three awards this week at the AIA's Victorian Architecture Awards with Schmidt Hammer Lassen for its collaboration on the State Library Victoria redevelopment.

Woods Bagot recently outlined a series of models for office layouts post-coronavirus including a "collaboration hub" with no desks. ADR also discussed the future of workplace design this week with Hassell's newest principal Dan Cox.
