From a practical point of view, however, all this glass comes at a [...]
Healthy assets - healthy people When we visit a hospital as a patient the last thing we tend to think of is how the hospital’s assets are planned and managed, and what effect this might have on us. Instead, we simply rely on the system to work and that the health professionals who care for us have the facilities and equipment they require.

Perhaps that’s why the Modscape team are so drawn to their work and [...]

When people think luxury homes, they usually think of ocean front homes in Sydney or elegant homes in tightly-held Melbourne suburbs. However, the prestige property market isn’t just confined to bayside ‘burbs. For our team, the secret to designing a luxury residence is all about detail and creating a sense of natural light filled space– regardless of the suburb. Each home we build is bespoke and a one-off, centred around a client’s site and individual requirements. We’re passionate about design [...]
