Work completed. Stupa and PP toilet block caretakers now have, after 8 years, a house that doesn’t leak, that is not a cluster of metal sheets, has outdoor meeting and seating spaces, and above all allows for dignity.
Their joy and gratitude are worth more than anything. Huge thanks again to @shane__marshall for collaborative design in November and expert advice from afar during construction, and to @teethandtoilets for funding.
Note to self - one day we’ll have doorframes that aren’t forehead bangers for the taller ones amongst us 🙏🏽...
PPF is calling for submissions to become a Paul Pholeros Architecture Scholar 2024.
An opportunity for recent graduates of Architecture to pursue a self directed study in your area of passion, as long as it will contribute to the improvement of health and living conditions of Australian society.
Submissions are due Friday 15 March Midnight AEDT.
Visit the PPF website, link in bio, for details and to view the works of past and current Scholars.
We continue to honour the legacy of this extraordinary man.
Just promoting another one of the great designers in the PPF network. Taylor presented us with the winning design in our Nepal portable hand wash unit design competition in 2020.
It’s been a slow development but the unit has been built and trialled in Nepal’s remote regions. It has morphed a bit along the way in response to user feedback and the final version will be hitting the Nepali “paddock” (thanks PP..) soon.

Jake Kellow, key person in the PPF network and founding/ongoing member of the PP Architecture Scholarship selection panel, is pursuing his own Byera Hadley travelling scholarship study.
Tracing marketplaces along the Amber Road. Jake’s currently in the Czech Republic after spending time in Poland, with more to come. Fabulous project and study topic.
You can check out his great pics, drawings and descriptions at @the.amber.road...
