ANNOUNCING: The Flush Project

The space is small. As small as a closet. A water closet to be exact. 

The Flush Project forms part of the newest flagship initiative of the Naomi Milgrom Foundation: the transformation of the former Richmond Power Station in Cremorne into a place for creative experimentation and playful exploration. We are calling anyone with a creative itch — seasoned or new — to transform the most intimate reflective space: the toilet cubicle.

Minimal or maximal. Neat or gloriously messy. Serious or cheeky. If it follows the rules, it fits the brief.

The finished spaces will be revealed with the opening of Richmond Power Station in 2027.

For more information on how to submit a proposal, visit the link in bio.

We are seeking a highly organised, collaborative Program Coordinator for MPavilion in a part-time (0.6) fixed term role. 

Located at the Queen Victoria Gardens in the award winning architectural commission designed by Tadao Ando, MPavilion is NMF’s ongoing flagship initiative, offering a program of free events that prompts locals and visitors alike to consider how architecture, art and design can change lives.

The Program Coordinator will utilise their strong communication and administrative skills to ensure the timely and effective coordination and delivery of the MPavilion program. Working in partnership with the Visitor Experience Officer the role balances administrative, operational and hands-on event support and delivery based between the NMF office and on site.

Now in development by the Naomi Milgrom Foundation, the Richmond Power Station Renewal Project will establish 4,000m2 of new green open space in Cremorne, reimagining the historic site as an integrated mixed-use innovation centre with activities across nature, design, science, technology and art. 

Visit the site this week with your family, friends or colleagues and help us complete a large-scale paint-by-numbers mural, designed by local street artist @lingerid.

Richmond Power Station
Hargreaves Street (end of Dale Street)
Cremorne VIC 3121

A self-taught master of light and geometry, Tadao Ando has redefined modern architecture with his minimalist masterpieces.

Here’s a selection of his projects, showcasing his work in Japan and beyond. MPavilion is his first — and only — built work in the Southern Hemisphere, open daily in Queen Victoria Gardens.
