Anam Cara House – Where the heart meets design

  • Date Posted: 16 December, 2022

Anam Cara House Geelong is a not-for-profit organisation supporting people who are living with a chronic or terminal illness within Geelong and the wider region. Recently completed only this year, with two out of three stages complete, Anam Cara House Geelong sets a strong benchmark for what end-of-life care should be like.

“We have guests in this place. We don’t have patients.”

Diana Taylor, Board Chair Anam Cara House Geelong

Living Architecture is a new initiative from the Institute in partnership with PPG (Taubmans) that seeks to inspire, educate, and influence consumers around the value of working with an architect.

Living Architecture illustrates the collaborative relationships formed between architect and client, and why people should consider an architect for a new build, renovation, or extension instead of alternative choices.

The series aims to build public awareness about the incredible work that architects do, moreover, it’s about showcasing their point of difference ­­– how an architect’s unique capabilities, experience and qualifications can genuinely change people’s lives through the buildings and spaces created for them.

This video series is produced by The Local Project. A design industry platform that advocates for the ongoing value of authentic design.
