Davis House, Victoria

5m tall inscription in Portland stone in the main entrance of a new office development. This large inscription features 2 intertwined texts, one a Kenyan proverb and the other a quote from Frank Lloyd Wright. It brings together two strands of modern life, one a concern for the environment and our need to look after it and the other a hymn to the joys of modern urban living. The two texts coexist and comment on each other but still maintain their separate identities through the use of contrasting lettering styles, in this case italics and large capitals.
