BVN Architecture in association with Gray Puksand, Bendigo Bank Headquarters, Bendigo, Australia

The Bendigo Bank Head Quarters designed by BVN Architecture [link] in association with Gray Puksand [link], with it's perforated metal cladding facade is reminiscent of a scaled up Meccano set [link] with similar bright vibrant colours of cladding to boot. Somehow I would feel more comfortable stashing a venerable selection of bank notes behind those walls than the version I could create in the privacy of my own living room. The head quarters was completed in 2008.

It's not everyday one gets excited and inspired by the design of a pair of dunnys but there are exceptions to every rule, with the cutting edge designs by Toon Architects [link] been a case in point. Looking more like the upper decks of a Imperial Star Destroyer [link] that has had a run-in with a X-wing, than your more typical backyard cubicle, the two toilets blocks were completed in 2010. If only the doors opened vertically instead of sideways.
