Open House
A commissioned cover for Melbourne’s architectural public event Open House.
Ten local artists were invited to draw an iconic building, to celebrate the 10th anniversary that Melbourne has opened its doors for the public to enjoy its beautiful architecture. The Nicholas Building illustration took inspiration from the era in which it was built. Like the architecture, the isometric geometry and pastel colours reflect a sense of the 1920’s, with influences of the Chicago School style, and, more generally, a sense of prosperity in a young and growing capital city.
