  • Just one month to go 'till we launch ourselves on Palm Springs Modernism Week 2020 - We can't wait to share the important stories of our special corner of the world at arguably the worlds biggest mid-century enclave. Exciting times! Anyone else want to join us? Tickets to our presentation are only $12USD (plus your airfare and accommodation of course!) Our special guest is Peter Maddison And we'll be in great company, as our talk is followed by fellow MCM Australian's Canberra Modern The Robin Boyd Foundation and Annalisa Cappuro #modernismweek #palmsprings #beaumarismodern #mcm #midcenturymodern #preservation #architecture
  • A record price set for an original MCM home at 2 Bellaire Court Beaumaris! $2.127 for an intact Max Sachs home. Hopefully with original MCM houses fetching these sort of prices - the developers will stay away and free these houses up for people who want to restore and sympathetically renovate. There are plenty of buyers out there wanting original houses (but not so many buyers for generic townhouses)... @hodgesbeaumaris #beaumarismodern #maxsachs #bellairecourt
  • Oh such an amazing house - a once in a lifetime opportunity to restore/renovate a MCM original on a double block on the hill at 165-167 Tramway Parade Beaumaris. There is a permit for 4 townhouses so we need someone to save this house from an uninspiring development ... The house and garden is being tidied up at the moment and will be open in the new year - if you are interested contact Angus Graham at Hodges Tel: 0401 505 259. #savethishouse #MCM #beaumarismodern #nodemolishingmcm @modernistaustralia
  • Noticed this one for sale again - (a small Hocking Stuart sign on the fence) - 439 Beach Road - still quite original. Designed in 1960 by architects Muir and Shepherd. Lots of potential here! #savethishouse #beaumaris #beaumarismodern #mcm #midcenturymodern @modernistaustralia
  • REMINDER: Council’s Drop-In session to discuss the future of the Beaumaris Art Group Building is tonight. 5.30pm – 7.30pm (come whenever you can) But make sure you RSVP - see below Main Hall, Beaumaris Community Centre, 96 Reserve Road, Beaumaris. Please RSVP to Melanie Chetty mchetty@bayside.vic.gov.au Call 9599 4310 Beaumaris Modern believes saving the Beaumaris Art Group Studios from a demolition & rebuild will respect history, community and five decades of art-making. We recognise that it needs a refresh and believe that sympathetic alterations & additions are the perfect way to do this. What do you think? Please come to the Council drop in session tonight to talk to council staff & their chosen architects to have your say. #renovate #refresh #dontdestroy #savebagstudio #mcm #architecture #design #beaumarismodern
  • For auction an original gem in the delightful Bellaire Court - possibly the most intact street in Beaumaris... all the flat roof houses were designed and built by Max Sachs to a very high standard. This house at number 2 - still has its original joinery inside. The only change at the front of the house is a garage door that has been added to the carport - it would look more original with the door removed it (have a look at number 5 for how the carport was originally).... Its very liveable and an interesting design... Contact Michael Cooney at Hodges Beaumaris Tel: 0418 325 052 #beaumarismodern #mcm #mcmoriginal #bellairecourt
  • This gorgeous MCM house designed by local architect, Jack Love as his family home - at 11 Bruce street Beaumaris has the dreaded yellow sign up for a proposed dual occupancy! Crazy thing is the local real estate agents have people lining up to buy MCM houses - but NOT dual occupancies - (Currently 27 dual occupancies UNSOLD on realestate.com.au) there is a glut of them unsold... we need to get the message out to developers... there are plenty of potential building sites in Beaumaris without demolishing a beautiful MCM house - we will object! If you want to object - go to Bayside Council website ‘Object to a planning permit’ - reference number: 5/2019/509/1 (before NOV 28) A suggested reason to object is the proposed design is not compliant with Neighborhood Character guidelines and will reduce the streetscape amenity. Thanks everyone. #savethishouse beaumarismodern #savethishouse #mcm #wewillobject
  • Thank you to our dear friends @canberra_modern for inviting us to the #heritageoftheair conference in Canberra. We heard from so many passionate heritage professionals from around Australia and we were inspired by their commitment to the cause... we are moving into a time where the tables are turning and heritage is viewed as a critical part of our culture... @australiaicomos #heritageoftheair #hota2019 #beaumarismodern #burracharter @unihouse_anu #leonardfrench #leonardfrenchmural
  • Bayside Council has just released online the Mid Century Modern Heritage Study Residential Places... Several members of Beaumaris Modern and residents of Beaumaris have put their home forward for voluntary heritage protection. After a careful review by Bayside Councils selected Heritage Consultants, ‘Context’, 9 houses have been identified for their local significance. We will feature each of these houses in the coming weeks. Homeowners were excited to have a detailed history written about their home, including old floor plans, old photos and a comprehensive biography of the architect. Many discovered interesting facts about their house! Once heritage listed, the houses can still be renovated and maintained, there are no controls on the interior and any internal renovations. A permit will be required from council for exterior painting and any extensions – but that’s about it! Owners are feeling very proud and pretty special to be living in a house worthy of a listing. #heritage #beaumaris #specialhouses #mcm #midcenturymodern #bayside #baysidecitycouncil #keepoursuburbscharacter 📷 @jacksheltonphoto
  • We have a beautiful precinct here in Beaumaris - it was part of the original layout of Beaumaris in the 1950’s - the original community hall, library (with an ‘adaptive reuse’ renovation), the tennis club, U3A (previously senior citizen’s), the cenotaph and perhaps the most interesting of all - the Beaumaris Art Group Building... all surrounded by indigenous trees and open space. Let’s hope this original group of buildings are looked after and maintained into the future - we are so fortunate the precinct has survived as part of our unique Beaumaris community... #beaumarismodern #beaumaris @savebagstudio #baysidecitycouncil
  • We have a horrible sense of deja vu as one of our favorite homes, The Abrahams House, designed by Arthur Russell at 372 Beach Rd is once more at risk of demolition. The dreaded yellow sign has gone up and the developer wants to put two townhouses in its place. The community successfully stopped a proposed development back then. And now we ask you to help stop it again. You only have until Monday to object here: https://www.bayside.vic.gov.au/object-to-planning-permit The application number is 5/2019/484/1 Reasons to object include the proposed removal of two VPO protected trees (coastal banksias), one being a council street tree! And the proposed development does not comply with neighborhood character regulations whereas the current building clearly does. Nor do the proposed plans comply with site setback regulations. Thanks for your support. #beaumarismodern #preservation #savethishouse #372beachroad #mcm #significant #baysidecitycouncil @heritagecouncilvic @institute_architects_aus @architecture_vic @heritage_places_vic
  • Participants in Beaumaris Open 2019 and our @canberra_modern friends were invited to a private viewing of @ispyid exhibition of 100 objects at the Boyd house... thanks to CEO Joy Villialino. Have a peek at their response to the exhibition! #beaumarismodern #bmopen #rb100 #robinboydfoundation #ianwongcollection #australiandesign @boydfoundation
