This marquee for the Victorian Spring Racing Carnival was designed by my obscenely talented friends, Tarryn and Demie of Joyce + Made. It was commissioned by
Bigger Than Ten Bears and built by
CBD Contracting (the same builders responsible for Aesop stores around Melbourne and Paris).
It's hard to imagine, but Joyce + Made is a fairly new practice and this is one of their first completed projects. Am I being biased here or is this project freaking amazing and so much better than what you'd expect from a race day marquee? I'd expect something overtly glitz, erring toward gaudiness but instead, the design response is beautifully restrained. It's got all my great loves in one: a minimal but warm palette, fine detailing, repetitive geometry, suspended objects and all laced with beautiful, vivid greenery. In my eyes, this space is magic time infinity.
