About: Six Degrees Architects

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Six Degrees Architects is an Australian architectural practice based in Melbourne, Victoria. It was formed in 1991 by six architecture graduates sharing a studio in Richmond. The "Six Degrees" name was inspired by the Nylex Clock in Richmond, which displayed a cold 6 °C one night. The name also circumvented the requirement for architectural registration in the early years of their practice, and was a reflection of the status of the six partners having six Bachelor of Architecture degrees. Recycled and salvaged materials became part of their architectural language. This approach played out in their self-funded project, Meyers Place Bar, which later received the inaugural Melbourne Prize.
