Disabled Access
We wanted so much to provide an equal space for everyone. I can personally promise you wheelchair access to the deck is 100% possible because I have installed a ramp. Getting into the containers has a ridge and wheelchairs won’t make it in, just because of the size of the containers.
Melissa Stefano
A Creative Visionary, Melissa can see a finished work at the very beginning of the process. A professional choreographer for 20 years, Melissa is used to seeing the finished product in her mind before it has started.
Founder of the Cancer Confidence Movement and Author of Uncancering: Prepare to Love the Unlovable, Melissa became houseless after her partner left in 2018. Recovering from cancer treatment, Melissa was unable to work a conventional 9-5 job. Pushing 50 with little energy, Melissa had to find another way to exist in the world. Thanks to an inheritance from her Nonna and support from her Mum and Dad, she built Dancing Zen to have a space to create and rebuild.
Contessa Francesca
The label of Interior Designer doesn’t really capture Contessa in her truest sense. Contessa worked tirelessly to bring big picture artful design to a landscape which is short on space. Beautiful and functional are at the heart of the design and the lines, colours, fabrics and materials are largely due to her ability to see what the space needs.
This is the second project Melissa and Contessa have worked on together and they hope to play again with other unique spaces.
THE DANCING ZEN SUPPORT TEAM
LINDSAY GILL
Lindsay is a Ninja when it comes to whipping up the design elements to deliver to makers. We are so grateful to have her with us on all of our projects.
SANDI ROE
Sandi is a real doer and has been instrumental along the way of sorting out the problems no one else wants to sort out. We are truly loving her energy in the space.
BUILDERS & LABOUR
At least 50 builders, labourers and gardeners have worked on this job.
Massive thanks to Greg Lumsden who took on the challenge to build the containers, Joe Musolino for helping us navigate the technical elements of the land and counsel and Joe Cirillo who made all of the ‘arty bits’ fit beautifully.
For more information on the build, design and creative elements of the containers please contact sandi@melanointernational.com
