In 2020, we undertook steps to become carbon neutral in our operations. We are now proud to be partnering with Carbon Neutral in offsetting more than our measured carbon footprint with an accredited renewable energy project in India to be carbon negative. It is our goal to increase our contribution to the environment and continue to measure and reduce our organisational footprint yearly.

OUR NEW STUDIO!
In October 2020 we moved offices -- from the centre of Fremantle, to the outskirts: Palmyra, corner of Canning Highway and Stock Road to be exact. We love the fact that we work in a late 1960's building, formerly the AH Bracks Library. The building needs a little love, and part of moving here is an undertaking to do something about this and the longer term fate of the building, which is slated for demolition in 2024. We invite you to drop by when you're in the area!

FINALISTS IN ARCHITEAM AWARDS 2020
Our South Terrace Mezzanine Project was recently a finalist in the commercial category of the Architeam Awards 2020. We're really proud to have this project recognised as an example of a hybrid project that combines working and living in a complementary whole. Thank you so much to the jurors and Architeam :) The above video was put together by Architeam as part of the virtual event during the Victorian COVID lock-down.

2020 WA ARCHITECTURE AWARDS
We are extremely honoured to have received the WA Lighting Award this year for our work to an existing heritage shop-house in Fremantle. The focus of this work was the insertion of a new home office mezzanine and the introduction of more natural light to the space beneath it. See the full project here :)

MEDIUM DENSITY PUBLICATION
We're excited to have two of our projects included in a new publication produced jointly by the Office of the Government Architect, Development WA and the University of Western Australia. This render (produced by Sebastian Robinson) shows a townhouse development based on the idea of a central canyon that splits each lot in half, linked by an elevated bridge. The configuration introduces communal space, extra north light to a deep plan, as well as occupational flexibility and financial freedom (being able to rent out half, for instance). We're really proud to have this recognised, even though the proposal was not successful in its bid a couple of years ago.

COVID-19
We hope that you are all keeping well and safe in these uncertain times.
As of last Monday, PHILIP STEJSKAL ARCHITECTURE began operating from multiple locations around Perth and Melbourne, in an effort to do our part in stemming the spread of the virus. This has also allowed us to continue operating at near full capacity, servicing our existing and new projects. Google Hangouts has helped us immensely to keep connected with each other and our clients, and our cloud-server has allowed a seamless transition to working from home.
We look forward to returning to our studio in the (hopefully) not too distant future. In the meantime, we've settled into a sustainable alternative.

MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT - South Fremantle
We are excited to have lodged a new collaboration for Development Approval late last year. This project weaves a new narrative around a familiar South Fremantle icon in an effort to preserve and restore this piece of local history, whilst inserting appropriate residential density where we think it belongs -- along existing vibrant high streets such as South Tce.

HUNTING FOR GEORGE - Meet the Architect
Was fun to have been part of HFG's Meet the Maker series earlier this year. Was quizzed by "George" with questions that really made me ponder. And slightly embarrassed to have had to share my musical tastes, but if you're up for it you can listen to 23:55 minutes of them here.

However, the competition just seemed too good. Congratulations to winners of other categories as well as finalists. It is a total honour to have received this national award. Thank You Architeam!

OPEN HOUSE PERTH
We're excited to be part of the Open House Perth event this year. On November 11th from 10am until 2pm, we'll throw open the doors of our Fremantle studio to welcome anyone who's interested in seeing what we've been up to. We also wanted to provide a service to the community as part of the event. In speaking to a number of people about potential topics, we decided on clarifying what we believe defines a good client brief :) We'll hold these informal discussions at 10:30am, 12pm and 1:30pm. Hope you can make it!
