澳大利亚艺术项目–一个自豪的、强大的、毫不掩饰的社会企业–通过为智障艺术家提供艺术工作室和服务，成为墨尔本当代艺术实践的核心。对其入口和接待处的升级，是为了庆祝APA对艺术的贡献，在进入时向艺术家们提供一个温暖的拥抱。
Arts Project Australia — a proud, strong, and unapologetic social enterprise — is central to contemporary art practice in Melbourne through providing art studios and services for artists with intellectual disabilities. This upgrade to its entrance and reception celebrates APA’s contribution to the arts by providing a warm hug to the artists upon entry.
从街上跨过门槛，白色和绿色的色调给人以平静的感觉。这种宁静的感觉通过指示路径和座位的圆形形式得到了延伸。还通过安全元素提供指导，例如扶手，它是用大胆的绿色来体现的。
Crossing over the threshold from the street, a sense of calm is instilled with a white and green palette. This tranquil feeling is extended through circular forms that spot behaviour by indicating pathways and seating places. Guidance is also provided through safety elements, such as the handrails, which are revered in bold green.
在这个空间里，并不是所有东西都是确定的。灵活的家具允许不同的职业（用于课程、研讨会、社交聚会和活动），而可编程的LED照明照射出不同的情绪，包括如果你感觉到蓝色，或粉红色。前门上方的艺术盒门楣也允许为在工作室工作的150多位新兴的、中期的和成熟的艺术家提供变化的展示。
Not everything is deterministic in this space. Flexible furniture allows for different occupations (for classes, workshops, social gatherings, and events) while programmable LED lighting irradiates different moods, including if you are feeling blue, or pink. An art-box lintel above the front door also allows for a changing display for over 150 emerging, mid-career, and established artists that work in the studios.
归属感是公民生活的一部分，而艺术在这个过程中发挥着重要作用。诺斯考特APA的升级将艺术和艺术家放在了最前面，这样做有助于这些艺术家的公民生活和诺斯考特的商业街。
A sense of belonging is integral to being part of civic life, and art has an important part to play in this process. The upgrade to APA in Northcote put art, and artists, upfront, and in doing so, contribute to the civic life of these artists and the high street of Northcote.
