Six degrees architects have designed some of my favourite spaces. Imagine how excited I was when I stumbled across their offices near Fed Square! They design urban, residential, institutional and commercial/retail spaces, with over 60 listed on their website. Their designs divide space with elegance and colours bring life to industrial projects. Six degrees was formed in Melbourne in 1991, when six recent architecture graduates shared a studio space. It's taken 15 years to get where they are, and they are in a beautiful place. Here are 2 i frequently visit...
Wall 280 (pictured above) has been open for years now, but have only just expanded their space in the last 2 weeks. Urban wall art covers the front of the cafe, with a roller door that reveals a take-away coffee window. 280 Carlisle Street, Balaclava, 3183 (entry via Nelson Street). 9593 8280.
Pelican (pictured above) has a spanish influenced menu with tapas to share and amazing coffee. The veranda has wind breakers and screens you from the hustle and bustle of Fitzroy Street. The interior has clever wooden panels and levels to divide areas in the large space. There's a large communal table which compliments tapas sharing. 16 Fizroy Street, St Kilda, 3182. 9525 5847.
