Sydney Open 2012

September 26th, 2012

The Historic Houses Trust chose a rather remarkable location for the launch of Open Sydney 2012. The Ian Moore designed Strelein Warehouse – a residence in Sydney’s Surry Hills – is almost ultra contemporary in its stark black and white interior.

But, as Sydney Open ambassador Tim ’Rosso’ Ross highlighted at this mornings address, the beauty, and indeed the success, of Open Sydney lies in the program’s diversity and the organiser’s broad handed approach to showcasing architecture, intriguing spaces and unseen places.
