Brunswick Design District (BDD) - Open Studio Series - NOVEMBER

Take a peek behind studio doors and connect with other creative businesses.

Step inside the creative heart of Brunswick for an exclusive session with REALM Studios and Grounded Studios. Part of the Brunswick Design District (BDD) Open Studio Series, this event invites you to explore two dynamic creative spaces, meet the makers, and learn more about innovation in landscape and urban design.

Grounded Studios and REALMstudios are architecture and landscape architecture practices that frequently collaborate to integrate built form and landscape design into a seamless, unified design response. Their work explores a relational understanding of Aboriginal Country, moving beyond land stewardship, acknowledgment, and mere ‘inclusion’ toward a regenerative practice that supports social and environmental ecologies to strengthen and thrive. They embrace the art of deep collaboration—listening and responding—working closely with multidisciplinary teams, communities, and clients to build shared knowledge and more just futures.
