4 REASONS WHY / W E L OV E GE E L ON G C o m p i l e d B y J E S SICA G AB ITE S

On the rise The opening of a new bakery in Manifold Heights is a celebration of a local family’s lifelong love of baking. Bread Brothers Baking Co opened its flagship bakehouse on Shannon Ave this month. The new bakery, owned by the Casboult family, is also part of a re-branding that will see their other bakeries – Zen Bakery, Highton Bakery, Pakington Bakery and Anglesea Bakery – also change their names to Bread Brothers Baking Co. The family business dates back to 1985 and has a focus on baking classic Aussie favourites such as pies, vanilla slices and hedgehog. New menu additions include coffee, gourmet sandwiches,

eter Julian from Fruit Property is one of the most efficient auctioneers going around. He exudes confidence, but that wasn’t always the case. What do you remember about your first auction? I practised in front of the mirror and the family about 40 times, I was so nervous I could hardly speak (it did sell). Auctioneering is a public performance. Were you a standout in school plays? I was the kid hiding down the back; I was terrified of public speaking, big time. Dogs, kids, trucks or roadworks? What don’t you want to see when you turn up for an auction? Truck traffic will kill a sale, real fast. What is the funniest thing that has

happened at one of your auctions? At one auction I had a husband and wife bidding against one another. They did not realise or have much of a plan, obviously. What would your opening remarks be if the vendor insisted on holding their auction at 2.30pm on grandfinal day (and the Cats were playing)? I will have to do that one

via video from the MCG and it’s going to be real quick. In the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster, Selling, Selling, Sold: The Never-ending Geelong Property Story, who would play you? Vin Diesel, for sure. What’s more important for an auctioneer, a big voice or the ability to wear a suit in 35-degree heat? Big voice with an approachable auction style; I can cool off once the contracts are signed. Buying a house is a big thing. How do you balance that seriousness with the need to be just a little bit entertaining? I try to be a bit humorous as it relaxes the crowd and the buyers ... I understand buyers can be really nervous, so I try to get everyone settled.

t’s something of a truism that people hanker after what they can’t have. When they’re at a hotel, they want to feel as if they’re at home – and when they’re staying put, they begin to dream about a holiday. Given this quirk of human nature, it’s unsurprising that commercial interiors are increasingly informed by residential interiors – and viceversa. In terms of residential design, bathrooms are the area of the home where this cross-pollination of ideas is most evident. The founder of online interior design service Milray Park, Sally Bevan, says clients want to replicate the same emotions evoked by a luxurious hotel. “[Given] the beautiful finishes, fluffy towels, heated flooring and use of beautiful bath products – it’s no

wonder we want to bring this feeling home,” she says. High-profile projects such as acclaimed designer India Mahdavi’s dusty-pink fitout of London restaurant Sketch kicked off the trend, she says. “[It’s] hard not to have seen an image of it these few last years – it has been shared and shared again.

Apaiser’s collection help create a spalike environment.

“It also has a pretty remarkable bathroom that sets the scene for a lot of selfies, making a private area (notably) public.” The basis of the “home as hotel” aesthetic is a luxurious combination of materials including composite stone, timber and metallic elements, often incorporating a moody colour palette such as graphite mixed black with lighter grey tones. Former ballet dancer Belinda Try founded Apaiser, a company that specialises in composite marble baths, basins and shower bases, after renovating her house in Melbourne. Marble off-cuts are ground into a powder, mixed with polymer resins, and moulded into bathwares that are better able to withstand soap, shampoo and conditioner residue. “I really wanted to create a spa-like environment in our bathroom,” she said. “I searched and searched and

searched for what I wanted, and in the end I just couldn’t find it. “It was about bringing a natural material into the bathroom.” Lighting is another important element. Try recommends task-based lighting around the vanity that can be used for shaving and applying make-up, with a host of options, including recessed downlights or a backlit mirror. This can then be combined with ambient lighting options such as wall sconces or dimmer switches. “You really do require different lighting for different times of the day – it’s something that needs to be planned.” Finishing touches, such as fresh towels, potted plants, scented candles and storage to hide clutter, complete the look. “Making things easy for the everyday is a big part of creating that luxe feeling each day,” Bevan says.

What the agent says

Joe Grgic

Harcourts

A quality, contemporary home designed for families to live, enjoy and grow.

DOM A IN GEELONG

uyers seeking a family home with space for children to grow need look no further than this up-to-date, four-bedroom house. With several living zones and a main bedroom suite set apart from three double bedrooms at the rear, it has space enough to accommodate parents, kids and teenagers alike. The cherry on top is that it’s only five years old and is fitted out with contemporary luxury fixtures to ensure creature comforts are catered for, too. To the right of the entry hall, the main bedroom works as a parents’ retreat, with extra space, an en suite with double vanity, and a wide walkin wardrobe. A central lounge will surely become a favourite spot to curl up on come winter, thanks to its gas log heater and timber surround. Directly opposite, there’s a study conveniently set away from the main living area

that makes for a peaceful home office, or as a second bedroom. Plush carpeting throughout this section of the house provides both cosiness and quiet. The kitchen in the middle of the house signals the switch to the home’s more relaxed, kid-friendly zone. Sleek and white with a striking orange splashback crafted by local not-for-profit business Wathaurong Glass & Arts, it includes an island, stone benchtops, and a generous butler’s pantry. A 900-milimetre upright stove will please at-home chefs. Solid timber floors make for easy clean-ups when cooking, as well as adding warmth and appeal. The adjoining dining and meals area has sliding glass doors that open to a paved and sheltered entertaining patio. Toward the back of the room, there’s an additional family space, which could work as a kids’ rumpus room. Further along, two more

bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes. Other features include a main bathroom with a tub, a powder room and a laundry, and central heating and evaporative cooling. A large garage has internal access, and there’s room for off-street parking. Schools, shops and transport are all nearby.
