Void Pulse is an architectural manifestation of the intersection among queer nightlife, techno culture, and Béton Brut. Informed by eclectic architectural styles, the project reimagines techno nightclub typologies – emerging as a mythologised refuge of pulsating beats soaring within the Southern Celestial Hemisphere. This project responds to the absence of subcultures intersecting with Brutalist architecture in Australia – and therefore derives itself from the radical clubbing scenes of Berlin and former Eastern Bloc capitals. Layered semiotics embedded within the tectonics of this speculative project enable Void Pulse to embody both defiance and sanctuary. Opposing itself to reclaiming pre-existing architectures or attempting to create a “new” architecture, the project engages in the process of “recasting” recognisable architectural forms that exist in Australia. These familiar elements are adapted to encapsulate ideologies of escapism, sanctuary, and resistance. Each space is sonically and atmospherically tuned, providing ritualistic experiences that offer a euphoric escape from the confines of conventional society. Fundamentally, Void Pulse stands as a testament to the transformative power of architecture to create spaces that celebrate the complexities of identity, community, and resistance – inviting all to transcend conventional confines and ascend into a space where euphoria and resilience converge.
The project rises as a floating citadel in the sky—a temple of nocturnal rites composed of four dreamlike chambers, each echoing the language of the nightclub. At its core lies the Pulsekeep, the thrumming heart of light and movement where the human experience reaches its peak through four-on-the-floor music. To the north drifts the Traumaltar, a shadowed sanctum for intimacy and trance. Flanking the Pulsekeep are spaces of respite: to the east, the Allevisca, a zone where bodies and minds find soft release; and to the west, the Victuaris, a chamber of conversation and quiet indulgence—an echo of Berghain’s Eisbar. Together, they form a celestial circuit: ritual, release, and return.
Access to the Citadel is granted through an Ascender that departs from Conveyances—monolithic terrestrial vessels where a laundrochamber hums beside a metallic bar, with a miniature Allevisca murmuring solace in steam and shadow.
The pulsating core of the citadel where the the main dancefloor, the Nave of Euphoria, provides a ritual of bodies colliding under sonic eclipses.
The shadowed sanctuary to the north of the Pulsekeep, tuned to slower pulses and private rhythms.
The Traumaltar provides a space of intimacy, trance, and reverie.

Die Höhle is a provocative apartment complex in Brunswick that defies most of the crucial codes on the Victorian Apartment Design Guidelines to reflect and exaggerate the gritty, exclusive lifestyle of Melbourne’s inner-north creative scene. Drawing inspiration from Berlin’s hedonistic subcultures and industrial aesthetics, the project features neo-brutalist elements, unexpected structural interventions, and communal spaces that foster social gatherings. While it markets itself as an inclusive housing complex, its aggressive, begrimed, and eyesore-ish features subtly signal to an exclusive demographic of trendy, party-driven residents through specific spatial language and cultural cues. With ground-floor tenancies including a rave-friendly wine bar, Die Höhle ultimately satirises the performative community ethos of its milieu, acting as an exaggerated celebration of the lifestyle’s exclusivity and hedonistic allure through architecture.

The XXX Loftwohnung is a speculative domestic sanctuary designed for a fictional Berlin-based, Indonesian-born artist and escort named Moses, whose life is a seamless blur of techno, sex, and personal performance. Located within a power plant apartment conversion, the loft mirrors the industrial aesthetics and sexual openness of Berlin’s club scene through its open-plan layout, exposed materials, and spatial hierarchy based on Moses’ rituals and social circles. Moses, known for his brooding persona and services, lives a life of curated detachment—visibly stripped of cultural roots, yet architecturally framed for voyeurism and indulgence. Key features like the Urospatium (a two-level golden shower chamber), semiopen bathroom (viewable for a fee), and a playroom with only partial privacy emphasize the project's aim to blur the lines between public and private, labor and pleasure. XXX Loftwohnung challenges the sanitisation of sexuality in domestic design while celebrating the unapologetically perverse and performative lifestyles of urban hedonism.

Indra Liusuari (b. 2000) is a distinguished graduate of architecture and interdisciplinary designer whose practice includes audio-visual media, documented performances, site-interventive installations, and print media. Conceptually, Liusuari is focused on critical discourses around the presence of white supremacy in contemporary lifestyles, which manifest via absurdist exaggeration and satirical self-exotification. Brutalist architecture and industrial design, audio-visual remnants of the late 1990s and early 2000s, and underground rave scenes have become paramount influences in Liusuari's practice.
Liusuari has presented work locally with Melbourne Design Week, PHOTO2024, Blindside, West Space, Bus Projects, and in Berlin with Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Sinema Transtopia, and Schwules Museum.
