QHouse: 116 Rokeby; a breathing space
Event description
Step into the future of working with an exclusive tour of 116 Rokeby by architecture and design practice, Carr, on Wednesday April 17th.
In our first Naarm/Melbourne QHouse for 2024, Carr will unveil their latest project: 116 Rokeby Street, a 10-level commercial office building developed and built by Figurehead.
Nestled in the heart of Collingwood, 116 Rokeby isn't just a building; it's a ‘breathing space’ embodying the future of innovation, environmental responsibility, and inclusivity. Here, design meets purpose and every element tells a story of sustainability, indigenous heritage, and community inclusiveness.
This is your opportunity to experience first-hand the transformative power of architecture in shaping a better, more inclusive future.
This event is generously empowered by Carr, Space, and Figurehead. We also extend our thanks to our ongoing event partners, Studio White Noise and Zesty Events.
