Has there ever been a better time to be seduced by the optimism of the mid-century? 

 

We don’t think so, and that’s why we are opening up some of the best mid-century modern homes in Australia for a series of intimate live shows. 

 

Join comedian and professional design nerd, Tim Ross and acclaimed musician and composer Kit Warhurst for their brand new show, The Mid Century Project. 

 

These two besties can’t wait to open the doors to some extraordinary homes for an old-fashioned shindig full of hilarious stories, fantastic songs and maybe even a tiny bit of dancing.

 

For over a decade they have been taking architecturally significant buildings and turning them into temporary theatres and skilfully blending architecture, comedy and music. 

 

Tickets are strictly limited for this show, please book now to avoid missing out. 

 

“Ross and Warhurst are comedic geniuses, highly talented singers, and great lyricists. Five Stars.”

Booth House. State of Kin. 

   

A progressive reimagining of a 1970s Iwan Iwanoff modernist home in the coastal sub­urb of City Beach, Booth House honours the cult architect’s original intention while res­pect­fully updating it for contemporary life. 

   

Originally completed in 1970 with an exten­sion added in 1973, Booth House is one of the much sought-after homes designed by Bulgarian Brutalist architect Iwan Iwanoff, who came to Perth in 1950 and left a lasting mark on the city’s suburban and public archi­tecture. As with many mid-century struc­tures, Booth House had been sig­nifi­cantly alter­ed over time without respect to its his­toric value, shifting from its original cohesive modernist character to something un­recog­nisable.    

 

Due to the disrepaired state of the home’s existing façade, we first carefully demolished it and then meti­culously re-built it using Iwanoff’s original plans. Slight modifications in the design enhance its func­tion­ality for modern use, restor­ing the home’s low-slung, intelligent mid-century form and re-inte­grating the home into the wide, flat topo­graphy of the neighbourhood.
