Peta Heffernan & Elvio Brianese

Original Thinkers Podcast

Peta Heffernan & Elvio Brianese of LIMINAL Studio — LIMINAL is a globally connected, creatively agile think-tank that integrates design and architecture with the disciplines of interior design, furniture, object design, arts, curation and production design. Embracing a multi-disciplinary design approach driven by purpose, function and meaning, LIMINAL was recently awarded the Tasmanian Architecture Medal, the highest accolade of the Tasmanian Architectural Awards along with a raft of other awards for the Hedberg, the University of Tasmania's Performing Arts Centre.

"It's about re-imagining something that already exists. That for us is what generates our approach to new thinking. It's not starting from a blank canvas, so much of this has already existed before. But it's, how do you look at this a bit more sideways? How do you actually reimagine this to make it something that fits this place? It's similar to the way that we looked at the materiality of the building, and the interiors and the timbers that we used."
