The Space Between celebrates small footprint living, from good design of buildings to the “choreography” of the public areas that surround them. We share the thoughts and insights of local legend, Rob Adams (Director of City Design at the City of Melbourne) and interview OMA’s David Gianotten, who muses, “good urban spaces are on the boundary between public and private, deliberate intent and improvisation, trial and error.” From acknowledging the human scale within the urban context to human-centred solutions to compact spaces, we nod to the beauty of simplicity and entreat you to explore the “undiscovered country of the nearby.” Because to us it’s not just about living small, it’s also about living well.
