Beyond Black and White
Venue: Online via Zoom Recording
$85 +gst
Are your ‘go-to’ colours black and white? In this provocative seminar you will be challenged to deepen your understanding of this uncompromising pair. How can a more nuanced approach to ‘whiteness’ and ‘blackness’ improve Architecture?
“This seminar helped me see black and white as nuanced colours rather than extremes. I’m now more conscious of how tone, light, texture, and context shape perception, and I plan to use blacks and whites intentionally to enhance spatial experience, comfort, and material expression.” Emily Slevin, Architect

Don't Look Up! Do Ceilings Have To Be So Ugly?
NEW DATES COMING IN 2026
Explore one of the most overlooked yet psychologically potent design surfaces: the ceiling.
“I recently watched Sonia's webinar on ceilings, and it was so good, informative and engaging that I had to watch it 4 times!
Each time I took something different from the discussion and the examples shown in the presentation, and it impacted a project I was working on and instantly made it better as I took on board some of the ideas discussed.
Thank you sonia! ceilings will never be the same!” Richard Briggs, Architect & Artist
