ABA and OF office mascots |
Since
living in Sydney I have been fortunate enough to rent office space from my
friend Andrew and his team at ABA (Andrew Burges Architecture). This group of
characters (Andrew, Celia, Sofia, Laure, Louise and Anna) were some of the first people
I met when I moved to Australia, have witnessed quite a bit and have guided me
through the crazy ride I have been on… I am very grateful to have met them all.

A little r and r... |
So with
Laure, returning home to Belgium after a couple of years in Sydney, a
celebration was in order. A 24 hour getaway to
Palm Beach,
the northern-most-tip of Sydney, was planned and ABA invited Office Feuerman to come along.

Staying in
a beautiful house designed by Andrew, perched above the marina’s vibrant blue
water, our 24 hour retreat included eating (a tremendous amount), interacting
with the wildlife, relaxing on the beach, hiking up to the
Barranjoey Lighthouse to reveal the true end of the world, witnessing flocks of dolphins
swimming along the sandstone cliff’s edge, and even watching one of Australia’s
cult film classics, the 1976
Don’s Party, which we all liked but determined may
have been slightly inappropriate for an office outing.

A perfect shower... |

Just your everyday birds... |

Food prep! |

It was the
ideal 24 hour escape and perfect celebration for Laure, who is now sorely
missed… Thanks ABA for inviting us to come along!
