BVN office is located on 12 Creek Street. Dexus property developer commissioned BVN to design a new office tower next door to our building. When construction started, BVN Architects were able to see the excavation and the construction work from our kitchen window. The kitchen window became the bridge of a ship. We navigated the construction from above and watched the construction workers with admiration. One lunchtime I decided to sketch the workers. It was a vibrant spring day in November 2018 and the sun illuminated worker's helmets and vests. It was so vivid and inspiring! This office tower is complete now. Walls of glass and concrete slabs are occupying the space where these two guys held a conversation in 2018.
