Description

A guided walking tour that includes four Kerstin Thompson Architects (KTA) multi-residential projects located in Fitzroy. Each project is different in terms of size, scale, number of dwellings, and complexities. This walking tour provides a brief insight into KTA residential projects.

What's On

The tour will begin at Kerr Street Residences and will take you to George Street Residences, Napier Street Housing and finally, Church on Napier.

Each project has its own unique story, and during the walking tour, you will hear about key design moments, insights and learnings. The tour will be led by KTA's Kerstin Thompson and Lynn Chew, and questions during the walk are encouraged. There will be a brief overview given at the main entrance to each project.

Brought to you with the generous support of our friends and partners, our Summer Fun(draisers) offer new and special opportunities as well as returning crowd favourites. These intimate, limited capacity talks + tours will take you up close and behind-the-scenes with design experts, all the while making a valued contribution to Open House Melbourne.
