WESTERN AUSTRALIA’S OLDEST & MOST TRUSTED MANUFACTURER OF QUALITY CLAY BRICKS AND PAVERS

Geraldton Brick, one of Australia’s oldest and most trusted manufacturers of quality clay bricks and pavers, has been supplying to the Australian and International markets since 1929.

The quality of clay we use to produce our products has the reputation of being amongst the finest in the world, giving us a superior finished product both aesthetically and structurally. We remain as one of the few small boutique brickworks in Australia. Our size doesn’t reflect the scale of our passion for bricks and pavers and we are proud of the uniqueness we can create by using kiln-fired local clay.

21 YEARS

of European Luxury 2022 marks the 21st year of business for luxury furniture retailer Sovereign Interiors - an outstanding achievement for owners Caroline and Wayne Scrooby who have turned their passion for quality craftsmanship and luxury European style into a thriving business which now includes three impressive showrooms, a national design consultancy service and a comprehensive online store.

18

In a competitive market where many do not last the distance, what has set Sovereign on their path to success? Caroline attributes, it not just to their natural eye for sourcing superior collections that would appeal to Australian buyers but their genuine love, commitment and passion for the business. Over many years of travelling to Europe, attending trade-shows and visiting manufacturers in person at their factories, Caroline and Wayne have secured relationships with some of Europe’s most exclusive luxury brands, brands that align with their values, providing both superior quality products and exceptional customer service. With a focus on classic European luxury, each brand features exceptional craftsmanship and unlike many ‘luxury’ brands that design in Europe and are mass producing products at factories in China, every Sovereign product is manufactured directly in Europe, where quality procedures are more refined, ensuring that each exquisite piece they sell can be enjoyed not just for one but multiple generations.

Through relationships that have been established with manufacturers over many years, Sovereign have an uncompromised supply chain which enables them to guarantee quality and service to their clients and has enabled them to build exclusive partnerships with several luxury European brands such as Malerba, Gamma Arredamenti and Giorgio Collection whose products are only available in Australia through Sovereign Interiors. These long-standing relationships are valued by the suppliers as much as they are valued by Sovereign and their clients.

“The partnership with Sovereign Interiors is one of the longest-standing we continue today. For the past 15 years, Sovereign Interiors has been displaying and selling Malerba as an exclusive representative for Australia and New Zealand: the smooth cooperation and strong partnership we’ve been creating so far is the key of our always-increasing success.

With the recent opening of an outstanding showroom in the heart of Melbourne, they boast now the ownership of 3 showrooms in the country, where highly professional and trained employees are always ready to help their clients.

As they enlarge their net of stores and showrooms, we are everyday more proud of this dynamic and successful collaboration” CEO Mallerba

Situated overlooking Perth’s beautiful Swan River, this spectacular Mosman Park home recently won WA Home of the Year and features an extensive collection of luxury furniture from Sovereign Interiors. The client initially visited the Sovereign Interiors Gold Coast showroom with her with her Perth based Interior Designer, Tony Beneit.

Caroline worked in collaboration with both Tony and the client who had impeccable taste, to finalise the selections which has resulted in a home that epitomises classic style, luxury and sophistication.

LIVE LIFE EXTRAORDINARY

Riverside

RENOVATION

Situated right on the riverfront in Perth’s premier suburb of Dalkeith, this home recently underwent a remarkable transformation thanks to the skilled team at Zorzi Builders who transformed what was a dated and tired Tuscan style property into this sophisticated and stylish residence.

Positioned at the rear of another property on a battle-axe block, access was extremely difficult, requiring use of a crane to overhaul not just the entire façade and exterior but the nearly 900sqm of living space. Given the obstacles the metamorphosis is truly astounding, resulting in a striking contemporary home that is barely recognisable as the same property.

28

29

30

Placing an emphasis on maximising the views and an indoor/outdoor lifestyle, windows were replaced with extensive stackable glass doors, allowing the home to be fully opened up and creating seamless transitions between interior and exterior living spaces.

Feature stone which transitions from the front of the home through to internal walls, and extensive walnut cladding and cabinetry adds an organic quality to the home, creating the perfect balance of being sophisticated and stylish yet still warm and inviting.

31

Designer Living on

NARROW BLOCK 32

With decades of experience creating some of Perth’s most luxurious homes, it’s no surprise the skilled team at Zorzi excel at delivering beautiful homes on sites of every shape, size, orientation and building difficulty, and this new Swanbourne home is a striking example. Situated on a narrow site with a frontage of only 12m, Zorzi have managed to create a spacious and light filled luxury home that epitomises designer coastal living.

33

A secure gate and exposed aggregate path lead to the impressive entry at the side of the home. An oversized European Oak door which has been stained black welcomes guests into the spectacular foyer, where extensive glazing ensures the home is flooded with natural light. This has been created via an upper-level void which allows for double height windows and a soaring ceiling that creates an extraordinary air of spaciousness despite the home’s narrow width. An internal courtyard adds a stunning focal point from multiple rooms and allows even more light to enter whilst maintaining privacy from the neighbours.

Quality materials and immaculate finishes feature throughout this stylish home ensuring it’s full equipped for luxury living.

With a total of 528 sqm of living space the residence include 4 bedrooms, 2 en suites, 2 powder rooms, a sleek designer kitchen with European appliances, a study and upper and lower level living spaces.

Canal-side

LUXURY

Having viewed a Zorzi display home, the owners of this stylish residence felt Zorzi were the perfect choice to build their new family getaway on the Mandurah canals. From the angular lines of the striking front façade that makes it a stand-out on the street, right through to the rear canal-side entertaining area, this home is impressive in every way and representative of the quality and style that is synonymous with the Zorzi name.

Soaring ceilings and statement lighting create a dramatic entry to the home, this is made possible thanks to an upper level void which also allows for double height glazing and ensures of an abundance of natural light.

37

Incorporating 765sqm of living space, this home has room for all the family to unwind and enjoy time away from the city without compromising on comfort in any way. The luxurious appointments include, 4 bedrooms, each with their own en-suite, a powder-room, state of the art kitchen with butler’s pantry, a wine cellar and multiple living spaces including an expansive covered alfresco area with fully equipped outdoor kitchen.

Stone flooring flows throughout, enhancing the sense of openness and creating a seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces. Other luxurious finishes include extensive custom cabinetry, a gas fireplace and LED strip lighting to staircase handrails.

This combined with Zorzi’s skilled team of quality craftsmen and a plethora of features create a home of the highest calibre well deserving of it’s enviable location.

Currently open for private viewings by appointment, Exclusive Residence’s impressive new display home has been expertly designed over three levels to maximise its stunning coastal location.

53

54

Creating a striking first impression, entry is through a pivoting glass door that opens into an entry foyer with soaring vaulted ceilings and a spectacular staircase that cantilevers out from a porcelain clad wall with suspended wire balustrading.

Sleek and stylish with a monochromatic palette that offers a sophisticate blank canvas for residents to add their own personal flair to the interior, the expansive open-plan living space is found on the upper level of the home taking full advantage of the stunning views.

In the kitchen, light porcelain benchtops contrast with black state of the art V Zug appliances black cabinetry and matching black granite sinks.

Incorporating a large cool room and a scullery that open out to a garden wall of fresh growing herbs, this kitchen is every avid cook’s dream.

55

A dining area and lounge at the opposite end to the kitchen allows residents and guests to eat and relax whilst taking in the spectacular ocean views. Built for entertaining in style, the interior fully opens up via a glass sliding door creating a seamless transition to the terrace and pool and an outstanding space for large gatherings.

56

With 4 bedrooms, 4 luxurious bathrooms, a fully equipped gym, cellar, library, theatre room, firepit and a 4 car garage, this home really has it all. Topping it off though is the incredible mosaic tiled infinity pool on the upper level that allows you to take in the coastal ambience and stunning Indian Ocean sunsets, whilst cooling down on hot summer evenings a true ‘Sunset Odyssey’ by Exclusive Residence.

In recognition of the excellent craftsmanship throughout the project blanc. recently won the award for the WA Master Builders Best Alterations and Additions, and has been nominated as a finalist in the National Master Builders Awards in 2022 - one of Australia’s most prestigious national building accolades.

Situated just 60m from the oceanfront in gorgeous South Fremantle, this apartment offered La Vie Interiors a fabulous blank canvas to create their client’s vision for a luxurious modern apartment with edgy urban appeal.

Contemporary materials were carefully curated to achieve a sense of space, movement and generous tactility. Rectified glazed porcelain tiles in a warm grey, solid timber stair treads and sumptuous wool carpets were chosen for the flooring, setting the mood for the entire home and creating the perfect palette for the vertical surface materials. Naked walls were not an option for the client, so La Vie designed ‘Living Walls’ incorporating a variety of textural finishes and functional elements including feature timber cladding, sleek, custom-made cabinetry and a feature fireplace finished in luxurious large format porcelain slabs.

85

Despite the apartment being quite narrow, thanks to a floorplan that has been carefully calculated and expertly planned to the mm, the home feels spacious and open, reflecting the vastness of the ocean beyond, whilst still feeling cosy and inviting thanks to a variety of organic elements and a warm palette of rust and gold.

86

Epitomising style and functionality the kitchen incorporates a butler’s kitchen to hide away dinner party preparations, chef’s desking area and a champagne dispensing bar.

Finished with a striking contemporary light fixture and bronzed mirror to the island bench, the space becomes a glamorous area to entertain guests in style.

Since opening its doors in 2005, La Vie Interiors has collected an impressive portfolio of luxury homes, high-end urban apartments, commercial projects, display homes, and new school buildings. Their team of talented interior designers has forged a reputation, creating spaces which beautifully execute the client brief, specified budget and their timeframe.

NEW

Made Old 94

Drawing inspiration from the original heritage architecture of the area and fusing it with the functionality and conveniences of modern Australian living, this new Maylands home has been beautifully finished with all the hallmarks of a quality home by Perth’s premier custom home builder, multi-award winning A. Di Bucci & Son. Scaling down from a large property in Mt Lawley with expansive gardens, the client’s brief was for a home with similar features and characteristics in a more compact, low maintenance design. Designed by Anthony Rechichi Architects, the home beautifully balances Federation and contemporary aesthetics in a striking façade which combines Rumbled Face Brick in Flemish Bond with contrasting renders, drawing attention to various architectural highlights.

Arguably the conquering feature of the build is a ‘man cave’ which allows the client’s to showcase their impressive collection of classic vehicles.

Located on the lowest level of the home, the funky retro style fit-out incorporates an old diner bar, black and white chequered flooring and switch glass on the external glass doors for privacy both day and night.

There is also a car stacker from garage level down to the ‘man cave’.

Oozing with character and appeal from front to back and top to bottom, this gorgeous new home offers the client’s the best of both worlds classic style with modern convenience and more time to enjoy their riverside lifestyle.

Coastal Classic

100

Contemporary

COASTAL CLASSIC Maximising all the available space on a sloping, City Beach building site, A. Di Bucci & Son have created a spacious and stylish contemporary home that defines luxury coastal living. Designed over three levels, the home features clean, simple lines and extensive floor to ceiling glazing resulting in a home that is generously proportioned but appears light in both structure and ambiance.

101

An upper level void over the living area has allowed for dramatic double height windows, creating a beautiful space to enjoy the leafy green parkland views opposite and ocean views to the left. Adding warmth to the bright and spacious interior, the designer kitchen features a striking combination of timber veneer cabinetry which matches the French Oak timber flooring and a rich charcoal granite to countertops and island bench.

102

No coastal home is complete without a swimming pool and this has been cleverly integrated at the front of the home between two floors ensuring that the available views are not compromised and providing an additional focal point to enjoy from both the mid and upper level terrace.

103

Accessible through glass doors that fully open up the interior to the exterior space, the lower level terrace also incorporates an alfresco kitchen creating a beautiful space to entertain and enjoy the coastal ambience.

Accessible via a lift that accesses all three floors, the basement level has sufficient space for both a workshop and an 8 car garage. On the upper level the master suite is also grand in proportions, with a huge walk in robe and a cavity sliding door that separates it from the generous en suite with free standing bath. Epitomising relaxed luxury coastal living, the exceptional attention to detail and quality craftsmanship that is found in every A. Di Bucci & Son home is clearly evident throughout.

Lighting is

EVERYTHING

Lighting is one of the most important aspects of home design - or any building design for that matter and yet, it is often not given close to as much consideration as it should. Lighting can literally make or break a space. It has the power to transform a cold and dull room into a warm and inviting one.

It can set the tone of the room with a dramatic contemporary light fixture, classic chandelier, or LED strip lighting. It can make an ordinary outdoor entertaining area look like a resort hotel.

SWAN VALLEY Spectacular Highly engineered concrete, steel, timber and glass combine to create this masterfully designed and constructed contemporary home by Giorgi. Situated on a sprawling two hectare property in the Swan Valley that borders the Swan River, the multi-award winning home has been deliberately designed as a single story luxury residence. Sitting boldly atop an elevated site, the sprawling residence takes full advantage of the beautiful, river, valley and vineyard vistas whilst clever design and inspired material selection ensure the sleek minimalist home blends harmoniously with its surroundings.

110

Giorgi Sales and Marketing Director Danny Giorgi said it was not often that they could meticulously create a home on such a unique property so that it easily nestled into its contoured landscape.

“Taking advantage of the available space and natural escarpment contour of the site it was the owners wish to design a sprawling single storey home that took in the Swan River views from all of its main areas,” he said. “The single storey nature of the home also appealed to them as it provides functionality and convenience avoiding the need for stairs or a lift. In keeping with the abundant land parcel, each side of the home’s elevations has a real connection to the land through spans of glass to connect the occupants as directly as possible with the surroundings.”

111

112

The striking front elevation extends almost 45 metres in width inclusive of the pool area and has an intentionally unobtrusive, low profile and extended flat concrete roof supported by angled twin Corten steel columns.

Off form ceilings frame both tilt panel and timber board off form walls which have been stained to mimic a timber finish, while grounded by industrial finished concrete floors. Small amounts of polished plaster to selected feature walls offers a refined aesthetic with subtle textural differences delivering warmth and richness that raw concrete can sometimes lack.

This multi award winning home’s numerous angled columns, matching angled concrete walls and windows continue to break new ground for this builder’s architectural achievements.

113

Inside the home of immediate impact are the soaring 3 metre high ceilings which feature throughout the entire home as do the polished concrete floors.

Timber finishes on cabinetry and joinery add warmth to the minimalist aesthetic that features off form internal concrete walls, black frames to glazing and crisp white ceilings.

114

Stackable sliding doors connect the open-plan kitchen dining and living space with the adjoining cantilevered balcony that includes the external sitting room and alfresco area. This too connects to the L-shaped concrete swimming pool and timber deck, which together forms a spectacular space for entertaining which in area is far beyond a standard home’s total floor space.

115

This luxurious residence includes four bedrooms, most with their own ensuite, a four car garage, workshop, study and an impressive subterranean cellar which has designed to entertain in.

INFINITYViews

Nestled in the limestone cliffs above Blackwall Reach, offering enviable sweeping views of the Swan River that extend out to Fremantle and beyond, Capozzi Building have

constructed what can only be described as a contemporary masterpiece. Winner of

multiple awards including, the 2021 HIA CSR WA Spec Home of the Year and Innovation in Lightweight Housing Project of the Year, plus the 2021 Building Design of the year award, the project drew inspiration from the beautiful twists and turns of the iconic Perth waterway that it overlooks. With an agenda to maximise the stunning outlook, the brief has been masterfully executed resulting in a spectacular home that has been aptly named ‘Infinity Views’.

122

Difficult soil conditions and a steep sloping site with a 13m difference from top to bottom, and a sheer 7m drop, called for a re-evaluation of traditional residential topography and construction. Considering the home’s cliff-side location in the path of a wind tunnel, Infinity Views was a difficult project - leaving no margin for error. Significant foresight and understanding were required throughout construction. Despite the many obstacles, Peter Capozzi and his team of highly skilled tradespeople have produced an outstanding structure that will last for generations to come.

125

Creating internal spaces which feel private, angular walls with openings intentionally directed to specific outlooks marry the material and spatial qualities of the home to the yachts seen sailing below.

126

On the staircase, custom balustrading and steel rods by Envisage Steel Creations add to the minimalist, industrial style aesthetic of the polished concrete, allowing the organic tones of the timber wall cladding to become the star of the space and providing continuity from the extensive cladding used on the home’s exterior.

127

The minimalist palette and masterfully chosen material selection ensures that whilst the home oozes wow factor it does not compete with the stunning natural scenery.

In the kitchen, ‘Excava’ by Caesarstone which has been used for the bathroom vanities has also been chosen for the perimeter benchtops and splashbacks, whilst the kitchen island bench features Caesarstone ‘Airy Concrete’.

Most notably the outstanding finished project gives no indication of the challenges Capozzi had to overcome during the build, demonstrating their enduring commitment to exceptional quality and their respect for the significance of property investment.

128

Established in 1962, Capozzi has a long, successful history. As a secondgeneration builder, Peter Capozzi started with a keen understanding of the craftsmanship and skill required to execute a high-end build. This knowledge has helped him put together a network of skilled tradespeople and focus on continually adapting to new building practices and environmental changes in the industry. These factors have allowed Capozzi Building to remain at the forefront of WA building excellence.

GIRT by SEA Written by Kandi Revian

Australians all let us rejoice, For we are one and free, We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil, Our home is girt by sea…

There are few children hearing the words for the first time who haven’t queried the fourth line in our national anthem– ‘Mum, what is girt by sea?’. The question answered, ‘Surrounded by the ocean darling’, the thought was then permanently dismissed from mind - despite a lifetime of recitals at school assemblies, sporting events and other official gatherings. Not so however for multi-award winning Perth photographer Tony Hewitt. Growing up on an Australian military base in Malaysia his creative, visual mind took over. He was not satisfied with a simple verbal response. But what does it ‘look’ like?

It was a question that he pondered for decades, that is until he teamed up with colleague, Denis Glennon, a fellow photographer and adventurer, and embarked on the journey of a lifetime.

I was first introduced to the extraordinary ‘Girt by Sea’ project by a client. We were sitting in his Osborne Park office, discussing creating a book that would showcase their history building some of Perth’s most luxurious homes when the ‘Girt by Sea’ book was placed in front of me. The point of this action was in reference to the book’s size, but when I opened the book I was immediately mesmerised by its contents - page after page of beautiful abstract works of art. What is this book I asked? Where did it come from? As an art lover I was surprised I knew nothing of it. When it was clear what I was looking at I was completely and utterly dumbstruck. These are photos? Of Australia? When I left the meeting I immediately called Denis, I was in awe and wanted to meet the people behind this incredible project.

“Every single day was awe-inspiring. We were two kids having a great time.

Our aim was to come back with a never been seen idea of what ‘girt by sea’ really means and give it a new dimension for all Australians.”

A Cesana 210 light plane was customised for the expedition with special windows and wind shields and two pilots engaged - Roger Avery, with extensive commercial flying experience, and Steve Kruger, a former air force test pilot. For safety reasons, the pilots needed to swap every four days throughout the 31-day journey covering over 34,000 kilometres, with one flying and the other playing catch up either by commercial plane or road.

The preparation was impressively accurate - despite the opportunity for so many things to go awry, amazingly the entire trip came in within a single hour of the predicted time!

Naturally, before such an expedition could take flight, there was the notso-small matter of how to cover the substantial costs involved. Thanks to a previous relationship, Denis was able to convince Australia’s largest camera house, Canon to sponsor their venture, on condition that Tony and Denis use standard Canon consumer-level cameras rather than professional equipment for all the photography. Knowing the spectacular imagery that was captured was done so on consumer equipment makes the outcome all the more extraordinary.

159

“Australia is like a jewel with many facets.”

— Denis Glennon 161

THE JOURNEY Once the plane finally took off from Jandakot Airport, WA,

163

164

At the end of 31 days, “We got very emotional when we realised we’d crossed over the place we started from and the journey was over,” says Tony. “We were the first people to circumnavigate Australia by light plane in one continuous hit.”

The following months were spent sifting through the tens of thousands of images in preparation for the Girt by Sea book and exhibitions that took place in Sydney and Perth where the vast collection of photos was whittled down to a selection of 100 stunning images. Captivating in every sense of the word, the spectacular imagery showcases the diverse beauty of our island home in mesmerising abstract shapes and textures, and colours that range from earthy greens and browns to soft pastels through to extraordinarily bold reds and vibrant aqua seas. A truly wondrous outcome from a daring adventure that all commenced with a boy who dared to wonder.

THE FUTURE Two years on the project is still going strong, with both the books and the stunning art prints continuing to sell from the project’s website and future exhibitions planned for Melbourne and Brisbane. The project is also proudly giving back to the community. The day before we met to discuss their adventure the couple had proudly been involved in a ceremony at the new Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth where a selection of Girt by Sea prints now add some serenity and beauty to the ICU ward - gifted on behalf of the Ciara Glennon Foundation which was sent up in honour of Denis’ daughter who was tragically murdered in the 1990’s .

So what’s the next big thing for the intrepid explorers? “We’re thinking a circumnavigation of New Zealand might be next!”

Visit www.girtbyseaproject.com to purchase the Girt by Sea book ($99 for standard edition, $299 for signature edition) and superb fine art prints of selected photographs from the project (from $980).

Contemporary

Coastal Situated in Perth’s northern coastal suburb of Burns Beach, this home is a unique take on the traditional beachside home. With modern themes and a focus on energy efficiency it blends natural materials, warm textures and withstanding architectural design, signifying the emergence of a new style in Australian home design - contemporary coastal.

167

Chosen to both complement and withstand its coastal environment the home incorporates a range of textured elements that together create a meaningful facade. Timber, limestone, concrete and corrugated steel offer all the characteristics required to create a sense of strength to the structure, endure the coastal conditions, and provide thermal efficiency.

Internally an inspired floor plan caters to the owners love for entertaining. Sliding doors completely open up both the kitchen and combined living and dining areas to an enclosed courtyard, allowing coastal breezes to flow through the home and seamlessly blending interior and exterior, to create an expansive entertaining space.

168

Throughout, Mondo has embraced modern principles of sustainable, energy efficient design. Solar and battery energy sources power underfloor heating and appliances throughout the double-storey home. The home also incorporates double glazed windows, underfloor insulation and polished concrete on both levels, demonstrating that every aspect has been well considered.

Clean, stylish, and unique, this beach side residence is full of light and character. Featuring, low maintenance sustainable materials it personifies the new Contemporary Coastal style and is well suited to the easy-going lifestyle of Australian coastal living.

Re-imagined

Known for her vibrant use of colour, this latest body of work from renowned local artist Anya Brock does not disappoint those looking to brighten their home or office space with something a little more abstract from this highly collectable artist.

The series, titled ‘Reworked’ is literally that paintings created two years prior, that were stretched and framed and then completely reworked and re-imagined into these highenergy colourful creations. With skilful and instinctual mark making, the abstract works hint at an underwater world of coral reefs, rugged landscapes and cropped imagery in bright, poppy colour palettes.

Both this series and many of Anya’s other collections are available purchase in both originals and prints at anyabrock.com

LOVE

Just a few hours south of the city, Yallingup is a favourite

getaway spot for Perthites. Yallingup is the local Wardandi name for ‘Place of Love’, making it the perfect location for this Tallwood Custom Built Homes’ family-orientated oasis.

The clients wanted a home that would enable them to celebrate together as a family and create memories - this required space, style and function, and Tallwood have executed the brief spectacularly in this striking contemporary home which was awarded the 2021 HIA CSR South West Home of the Year, making it an impressive fourth win in 12 years for Tallwood.

174

175

Incorporating 600sqm of living space, the five bedroom, four bathroom home is built over three levels to take full advantage of the enviable ocean and national park views and incorporates multiple spaces that allow for both individual retreat and family gatherings. Designed by multi-award winning Dane Richardson of Dane Design Australia, significant emphasis has been placed on family relaxation and the natural environment. The importance of these themes is reflected in the building materials used throughout. On the exterior, feature stone and aged timber cladding combine to create a striking contemporary facade that whilst modern blends harmoniously with the breathtaking natural surroundings.

176

With as many areas to enjoy as inside the home, the expansive outdoor spaces include a second level concrete pool which sits above the neighborhood offering a stunning ocean outlook. At the rear, a covered alfresco area leads to a built in firepit which has been constructed over the lower bedrooms allowing the family to gather around the fire and enjoy the beautiful surroundings all year round.

Exceptional views, inspiring spaces, and dramatic but contemporary style make Tallwood’s Yallingup home a family retreat that truly is a ‘place to love’.

A carefully chosen material palette, that includes extensive use of stone and timber in various forms, adds an organic element throughout this impressive residence creating a sense of warmth and homeliness to the airy open spaces.

An upper level void creates soaring ceilings above the ground floor open-plan living areas and allows an abundance of natural light to flood into the home through double height glazing.

Another recent TDL project is the celebrated architectural Vodka Palace. This project too is an exercise in balance.

A desirable designer hybrid, the Vodka Palace itself is both brutal and tranquil. To meet the home, the landscape features a hardy, naturalistic planting combined with material selections either recycled or chosen to develop a patina, softening the sharp angles and heavy structures of the home. The space can be adapted to be both cavernous and airy, allowing opportunities to open up the interiors and draw in the naturalistic landscape, making the space into a cohesive native escape.

This final TDL landscape is a case study in optimising a small space. Working to bridge levels in the architecture and the sloping site, the garden’s asymmetric floating stairs, warm textural planting, and focal point water feature create high impact and a sense of arrival.

The design cleverly utilises still water to mirror a large frangipani, extending the space. Dense planting selections of mixed heights fill out the garden, packing a green punch in a small area and separating the landscape from the street beyond.

TDL specialise in the design and construction of landscapes of all styles and complexities, working with clients to create the gardens of their dreams for homes old and new. Enquire now to learn more about their unique design and construction process.

FOR THE LOVE OF

DOGS

David Bromley is probably one of Australia’s most well-known and well loved artists. Since he first emerged in the mid 80’s he’s continued to gather a huge fan base thanks to his distinctive pop-art kind of style, vibrant use of colour, and general awesomeness. Now, David has given us yet another reason to love him, generously donating several paintings to Australian charity Mission Paws’ible to help fundraise to expand their strained Bali operations where tourism restrictions have seen a massive increase in abandoned, neglected, abused and starving dogs.

Inspired by his Bull Mastiff Keith, named after Keith Richards, and a coworker’s recent family addition Django, a rescue with hearing problems, Bromley & Co generously donated five original paintings by David that feature dogs saved by Mission Paws’ible, honoring their remarkable journeys and the wonderful work that Mission Paws’ible are doing.

Bromley’s generous donation is his way of giving back to the lovable creatures he says “have got me through some very tough, lonely times”.

Several of the original paintings were raffled in 2021. With a further raffle planned for 2022 to raise much needed funds.

“I LOVE DOGS AND WHEN I WAS SENT THE IMAGES (OF THE DOGS), I JUST WANTED TO CRY… WHEN I SEE THESE DOGS AND WHAT THEY WERE… TO WHAT THEY HAVE BECOME, OH MY GOD, I FEEL VERY MOVED INDEED… “ — David Bromley
