Pastuso and Majorca signs for Sign2

 





It was great to walk through the CBD streets and lanes again. The photowalk was therapeutic.

The Pastuso and Majorca buildings, located in the heart of Melbourne's Central Business District (CBD), are notable for their striking designs that blend modern aesthetics with historical influences. Pastuso, an iconic structure in the area, stands out with its bold and contemporary architectural features, often celebrated for its innovative use of space and design elements that cater to both commercial and residential purposes. Nearby, the Majorca building exudes an old-world charm with its classic Victorian-era architecture, showcasing Melbourne's rich heritage. Both buildings add to the architectural diversity of the CBD, serving as a testament to the city's evolving skyline, where the past and future coexist harmoniously.

Over the years I have dedicated myself to serving regional and remote areas of Victoria. Yet, I am continually taken aback by the prevailing attitude that my work does not warrant fair compensation. Every aspect of what I do entails considerable cost—be it the long hours spent driving, the expense of motel accommodation, the effort required to reach often inaccessible health facilities, or the challenges posed by poor communication. It is disheartening that such sacrifices are met with disregard. After all, this too is a matter of humanity.

  4. You found two great signs. Majorca makes me think of the Mediterranean vacation island. These signs have fine, bright colors.

  8. Two very interesting photos. The font on Pastuso is very interesting. I don’t think I have seen that before. Taking photos can be very therapeutic. This morning I was feeling tired and a bit blah, but we went out in the rain and I took rainy day photos from the passenger seat. I felt so much better afterwards, especially after looking at all the rain drop effects in my simple snapshots.

  10. Interesting to note that the architect, Harry Norris, also designed the Kellow Falkiner car showrooms in St Kilda Road, now The Royce Hotel. https://www.thehotelguru.com/hotel/the-royce-hotel-melbourne
