The continuing transformation

Constantly transforming commune continues to evolve. Its density keeps increasing throughout the numerous modules cantilevered off the existing shopfronts. The crane-like set up allows the containers to be places sporadically throughout concentrating most of its weight towards the load center points.


Neo-avantgarde in action

By 2023 the commune continues to attract tourist and new residents to the area. Jonathan, Sandra and Michael continue their work in their spacious studios which allow public to observe their work process through the skylights that cut through the surface of the Latrobe terrace level. Their artistic practice becomes its own performance as they follow the steps of Jackson Pollock with their eccentric neo-avantgardist sensibilities.

Development of the community

With the rapid growth of the artists community, Padington became to form as a new cultural centre. In terms of artist it does not specifically mean Fine Arts, such disciplines as fashion, performance and digital art practititoners were also fascinated by the new idea of experimental lifestyle.
As  the suburb begins to overflow Brisbane City Council proposes a new dwelling scheme - 4.5 m x 12m modular construction. Modules were placed on top of the remaining shopping centre structure and throughout few years have accumulated into the dense infrastructure of dwellings, studios, workshops and retail and open spaces.
