Brisbane Office Move

Sunday, January 31, 2010
Brisbane Office has moved!  Not very far - from 93 Musgrave Road, Red Hill to 3/99 Musgrave Road, Red Hill.  The small distance moved is compensated by a big change in style - from an old, heritage listed building to a brand new premises.

Osborn Lane and the Chinese economic boom

Friday, March 06, 2009
There has been much talk that the recent economic boom in Australia was partly due to sales to China, where the economy has been expanding rapidly.  Now, at last, Osborn Lane has a share in that, with the design of a modest shade cloth sail structure over a viewing platform at a school oval in Beijing.  Our first job in mainland China.  Our client was Oasis.

Osborn Lane on the far side of the world

Saturday, June 07, 2008
Osborn Lane has recently designed some small modular shade structures for Keep It Kool Shade Sails of Northamptonshire, England.  This must explode the myth that the English never see the sun, and are pathetically grateful when it appears from behind grey clouds.
