In the neighbourhood #1
‘There’s instinctive understanding ... we barely need a brief any more’
For Eye 81, John Ridpath interviewed three designers who work with local clients.
One of the studios featured was Mark Gowing Design, a Sydney-based practice that is becoming increasingly interested in client relationships that are local, intimate and long-lived. ‘It’s a really sweet spot where there’s instinctive understanding’, says Gowing of his ten-year relationship with local production company Hopscotch Films, ‘we barely need a brief any more.’
