The Elegant Shed - Behind the Garden
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1984
There was an initial shock in the amount of exposed concrete ...– Warren on the reaction to his brutalist design for Christ’s College halls of residence.
We purchased this table, it was an old Power Board table, and to get it into the house, we had to add to the house ... hence the glass roof addition to bring the table in.– Dawn Donnithorne on husband Don’s design priorities
The biggest public room in New Zealand.– Mitchell describes QEII Park’s swimming pool and stadium.
Outside, this building may not be the Sydney Opera House, but inside it’s a lot better than that building. It’s close and it’s intimate and it’s sparkling. It makes you want to perform.– Mitchell compares Miles Warren’s Christchurch Town Hall with Jørn Utzon’s contemporary building, the Sydney Opera House.
