We’ve featured hundreds of homes over the years on The Design Files, and if I’m honest, some of them don’t quite get all time in the spotlight that they deserve. With COVID-19 currently putting our regular photoshoots on hold, we’re taking this opportunity to dip back into the archives on occasion, revisiting some of our favourite homes that may have slipped under your radar the first time.  

This week we’re bringing you the inner-city Melbourne treehouse of Fleur Glenn, designed by architect Murray Barker.

OMG. This is a BIG day people! Today we’re launching something The Design Files has never done before, and we are PRETTY pumped about it.

Introducing… the TDF Kids Art Awards, proudly presented by Honan!

For the next three weeks, we’re inviting kids up to the age of 16 to submit an artwork that responds to the theme of ‘Australia’. There’s $2000 each up for grabs, for FIVE winners in five different age-groups  (as well as 15 runners up prizes), and 100% of entry fees will be donated directly to Children’s Ground, an incredible organisation that supports the next generation of Aboriginal children, and their communities.

Whether you’ve got a mini Matisse, Basquiat, or interpretive scribbler in your world, we want the kids of Australia to show us what they’ve got!

Entries are open from now until Sunday April 18th via the TDF Kids Art  Awards website!
