We're so excited to be able to officially reveal our studio space, masterfully captured by @mrveeral ! It's not a huge room but with careful planning and zoning, we have more than enough and still some room to grow! This first photo is captured from the edge of the library zone, on the threshold of the workspace zone. The library is the first thing you see when you enter the space. Our collection of books, magazines, and reference materials is constantly used in the design process. We are always learning and expanding our ideas. Beyond, captured in the second image, you can see our layout zone where @razbash_ assembles materials and samples. The plants have been absolutely thriving - they love the abundance of natural light and clean air. Last weekend, we officially opened and "warmed" the space in the intimate company of collaborators, friends, and supporters. It was thrilling to HEAR & FEEL the @troldtekt ceiling supplied by @csrhimmel work it's magic in a room full of people, joy, chatter and music. We'll share more on this later and how #greatsound was achieved in our Hawthorn Rd studio. It was such a quick and simple upgrade that made a world of difference. More magical shots and behind the scenes moments to come. Happy Fri-yay and here we are - Studio Razbash has officially HARD LAUNCHED!

Looking forward to moderating this MDW 2026 panel at the invitation of @mrveeral ! Veeral has curated a sensitive, pluralistic and insightful framework which offers us an immense world of ideas to engage with. Thank you for bringing this amazing group together. Bookings are essential and tickets are selling fast. SAT 23rd May 2.00-3.30pm • Translating Place brings together architects, designers, and thinkers to explore how migration shapes the way we inhabit, remember, and design domestic space. For many migrant families, the home becomes more than a shelter. It is a site of memory, adaptation, and negotiation between inherited cultural practices and the realities of a new place. Architecture in these contexts is often informal, layered, and deeply personal, shaped as much by lived experience as by formal design intent. The discussion moves between these perspectives, asking what it means to call a place home, how that meaning shifts over time, and how architecture can hold and transform the stories of the people within it. The discussion, bringing together architects, designers, and researchers, including Sonia Sarangi, Belqis Youssofzay, Mirjana Lozanovska, and Veeral Patel, is moderated by Ilana Razbash. • Melbourne Design Week is an initiative of the Victorian Goverment through @creative_vic

"Longview" Ilana Razbash (2026) Oil and Cold Wax on Linen 35x35cm Unframed | Signed Verso • TEMPLE FRAGMENTS at @goldstone_gallery_australia closing Sunday 3rd May Final day gallery hours: 10.30am - 4pm Silent Auction ends: 11.45pm Monday 4th May

"Mass and Volume" Ilana Razbash (2026) Oil and Cold Wax on Linen 30.5 x 30.5cm Unframed | Signed Verso #TempleFragments Urgently commenced following the antisemitic arson attack on East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation in mid-2025, Razbash’s new body of work continues explorations in the melding of “the real” and “the imagined” whilst challenging audiences to find holiness in the mundane, pride in identity and strength in truth. Temple Fragments presents a site-specific installation holding the 54 individual synagogue buildings of Melbourne. Semi-transparent superimposed overlays of the Beis Hamikdash (2nd Temple) melt with streetscapes and cropped views all captured en plein air. Meanwhile the skeletal armature is both a fragile reminder of the temporary nature of all diaspora communities for the last 2000 years and a prototype for what could be - a proud, united and strong in-gathering. Rabbi Jonothan Sacks z”l wrote in his plethora of books and lectures that upon the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 CE, the Jewish people were scattered into diaspora taking a small spiritual piece of the temple (mikdash me'at) with them. These fragments became synagogues - buildings of very little criteria beyond requiring an ark, a torah scroll, an eternal light, a bimah (elevated reading desk) and windows. This too was the criteria applied to distinct synagogues included in this series. The 54 9x12" oil on canvas panel works serve as foundational architectural analysis for the design of a speculative Great Synagogue of Melbourne. Paintings on linen canvas continue in the next room beyond the prototype temple, imagining a bold alternative future through an architectonic proposal designed by the artist-architect. The scheme offers a vision of what could be if the external threats to safety and internal division was overcome.
