Barrio Developments is a local property development company based in Adelaide, South Australia. Barrio is Spanish for neighbourhood. Building sustainable liveable communities is core to our values. We focus on smart development opportunities, specifically locations near high frequency public transportation and lifestyle amenities.
Building a multi-residential project takes a strong vision, clear direction and attention to detail. We surround ourselves with an incredible team of consultants, architects, agents and builders and contractors.

The lighting might look like a string of naked bulbs — indeed it is a string of naked bulbs — but, combined with discreet uplighters in buckets, it makes the plain glamorous, the ordinary exotic.
The barrio theme came from an interest in conservation. Whether in Brazil or India, shanty-town dwellers are the original recyclers, says Cobham.
You go to the poorest slum in India and the children are all sent off to school looking immaculate. I don't know how they do it, but they do. Fruitcake is not only Mayor but "master of collection", who goes to the tip with a truck every Thursday.
Do you want them? Fruitcake, aka David Harding , is an evangelical salvager whose life seems to be a shaggy dog story come true. He traces his bar collection back to a visit to London in his early 20s nursing a broken heart. There he met a flatfull of Aussie travellers with birthdays on consecutive days. Naturally, this miracle of numerology had to be celebrated in a unique way, so the friends expelled Fruity from his shed in order to construct the perfect hexagonal party experience — one which continues every May to this day.
There's more than a touch of the ancient mariner about Fruity as he fixes you with a beady eye and tours you around his bus seats and church pews the latter saved from the church where his father once preached.
In a Barrio context, he appears no more eccentric than the Irishman who greets him with a brandish of his Liquorish Allsort boxer shorts - "I think I'll be Soviet boyfriend tonight". But the difference between Fruitcake and Dubliner John-Paul Hussey is that Hussey is one of the club's few professional "hosts", an actor with a knack for improvisation and a love of burlesque.
Most of the "performers", as Ganf explains, are not professional actors at all but ordinary people drawn from a rich community of local monocultures. On the second club night of this year's festival, a bunga-bunga theme brought South Australia's fetishists out in force, but it's not always so titillating.
Thursday's Phobia Night featured a local conservation group, Bugs 'n' Slugs , who exhibited a collection of creepy-crawlies not being entomomophobic, I got to handle a giant cockroach. But now for the up-close-and-personal bit: Barrio is among most "alive" theatre experiences I've had — one that challenges the nature of both theatre and experience.
I shed a tear for newlyweds Michael and Valli, I played along with my own parody wedding to a glass of riesling, under the ministry of hosts "Crystal Healing" and "Crystal Meth".
