What I love The first hint of spring sun is tempered by winter’s last brisk breeze – in this glam four-bedroom family home, the romantic open fire warms while the fresh air across the Southern Highlands gently ruffles the gossamer-fine curtains. Situated in Burradoo, this is a gorgeous home for all seasons, listed by agency Di Jones.

Note from the editor

E

very week, we profile a real estate agent in our Open Home column. Through these, I’ve come to understand the role of agents at a grass-roots level – they are not dissimilar to the local butcher, baker and pharmacist. Even as strip retail has changed, and goliath shopping centres gobble up the family run shop, the real estate agent’s role remains traditional, ensconced in the local community. Just like footballers preparing for an AFL grand final, agents have launched their crunch time – the spring market. And like an athlete, their important venture requires sacrifice: long hours, hand-in-hand with vendors, to convert a family’s biggest purchase into a windfall. As always, this edition captures the market’s top-notch listings, and in New Living, our feature story explores how architecture can be more coherent with existing suburbs.

Crisp, clean, classy. We love the three Cs. If you add contemporary you get a pretty comprehensive package. It starts with the fine facade – the Spanish Mission arch bringing a bit of character while the dimensions of the interior deliver excellent amenity. You get five bedrooms, three of them in the bright upstairs zone, as well as ample living space and four sleek bathrooms. The highlight, though, is the brilliant marriage of indooroutdoor spaces. A large covered al fresco entertaining area rolls you out to the pool, spa and surrounding lush garden. Just in time for spring.

A

ny true Melburnian will tell you that first real sign of spring is not footy finals, but jasmine. When that faint note hits you on a blue-sky day in early September it’s like meeting an old friend you thought you’d never see again. The second sign is the proliferation of auction boards. Popping up like so many green shoots out of the warming Melbourne soil; the For Sale sign in spring heralds the end of our deep hibernation and our enthusiastic embrace of the outdoors. Real estate agents emerge too, encouraging vendors to give the presentation of outdoor areas as much priority as polishing interiors. Arch Staver, director at Nelson Alexander Fitzroy thinks the transparency between the spaces is as crucial to buyers as ever. “The flow of a house to the outside is terribly important. People want to be able to

sit and see something beautiful; but it’s all about functionality too,” he says, citing the very on-trend ‘inter seasonality’ as perhaps the biggest factor in adding value. “There’s a strong push to make areas flexible, and while pools and water features are all still popular, the idea of making outdoor areas more usable year-round is growing.” Taking a cue from the classic conservatories of England and the

brilliant screened porches of the US, we are starting to see more adaptable, multi-purpose spaces. Melbourne’s bayside area is wholeheartedly embracing the concept. Graeme Wilson, managing director of Wilson Agents Port Phillip reports the number of highend apartment buildings with eyepopping amenities is steadily growing. “We’ve lately seen some amazing places with things like rooftop pools and gardens. What’s really interesting is that these apartments now come with some really good facilities that bring the outside in, too.” In classic suburbs, like Armadale and South Yarra, the pool still rules the outdoor area, but it’s the tried and true al fresco features that attract buyers. According to Carla Fetter, partner at Jellis Craig Stonnington, timeless aesthetics are the most important

things when vendors come to sell. “The flow from the inside to out is still really important for vendors to get right. A balance between decking, paving and some beautiful greenery creates a terrific impression.” Ms Fetter says her advice to vendors on how to best present their outdoor entertaining areas for sale is simple. “There are several key things to consider – the condition of the grass for example.” It might sound a bit prosaic but new grass, rather than patchy, dead clumps, makes a huge difference to buyers. “First impressions really do count for a lot.” Similarly, Ms Fetter cites things like high-pressure cleaning your house and mulching the garden to get things looking their best. “I do know that some owners even go as far as timing their flowers to bloom on auction day.”

ou just must go to Willy in early spring. Those blue-water views, that city skyline, that feeling you’re in a place with an atmosphere unlike any other around town is simply magic. Then you get homes such as this one. Known as the Leaf House, it’s become something of a darling on the design scene, chiefly due to its striking faceted, glazed roof that rests, frond-like, astride the central renovated section. Beyond the pretty front verandah, the long hallway takes the eye to the incredible middle section of the home. Before that, though, there are two fine bedrooms – one that boasts a terrific dark unit that conceals a study space and walk-in wardrobe.

Across the way, bedroom two has a ripper mezzanine spot where you can escape with your book. Next, the fabulous central bathroom with marble accents and a huge glass shower gets a stunning lift from the multi-patterned, reclaimed church floor tiles. The living room sports sliding black doors that fold in and away from the hallway and allow access to the deck that runs along the entire north-east area of the house. You then head into a brilliant middle-section lounge where shards of glass bend down from the ceiling and walls to help illuminate the polished concrete floors. An impressive Corten Steel feature wall sits atop a stone hearth.

The kitchen-dining area boasts a cast-iron stove top, marble benchtops and a butler’s pantry. It also has a study nook. A second original cottage sits behind and is bonded to the front by a terrific, dark-walled library. Beyond here, a short passage takes you to the majestic main bedroom with its soaring ceilings and private decked courtyard. There’s a walk-in wardrobe and brilliant en suite with more gorgeous feature tiling and an egg-shaped stone bath. Bifold doors on both sides mean you can bathe al fresco if the mood (and the weather) strikes. Upstairs you’ll find a broad officeretreat space; a smart ante-room for any number of pursuits, really.

Doherty’s Garage and Council House, Central Bendigo, VIC

The sky’s the limit for the future of Doherty’s Garage. Figuratively that is. In fact 20 metres of sky is the limit! Which is the maximum height permitted for any building in the centre of Bendigo. While the offering of the garage for the first time in 64 years marks the end of an era, it also marks a new beginning and an exciting opportunity to breathe new life into this landmark property. While Doherty’s “have left the building”, wouldn’t it be nice to see the new custodians tip their cap to the history here and allow the acclaimed name to live on in some form. It’s your choice. Maintain the existing trendy industrial ambience for restaurants and retail. Undertake a modern fit out for commerce. Or embark on a total multistorey redevelopment (STCA) for a mix of commerce as well as residences. The two separate adjoining titles are available for tender individually or as a whole: Lot 1 – “Doherty’s Garage”, 7 St Andrews Avenue, Bendigo Open plan workshop and a blank canvas for your creative ideas.

Great Australian design challenge

DOM A IN

MARGOT WATSON

I

n a world where we share all our favourite images on social media, it’s no wonder that everything is beginning to look the same. Unfortunately, architecture is not immune to vagaries of fashion and design. All too often, our homes are a mish-mash of global styles. Walk down any suburban street and you could pass a Tuscan villa, a French provincial mansion or a Spanish hacienda. And that’s before you hit the neo-Georgians or Victorians. Houses, apartment blocks – any building – must have a sense of place, according to expert opinion at the recent National Architecture Conference at the Gold Coast.

Triangle House by Molecule Studio, top; Park House by Kerstin Thompson Architects, above.

“I’m really committed to finding the sense of place in the architecture itself, which is a kind of antithesis of globalisation,” says high-profile Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Safdie, whose projects include

Habitat 67, Marina Bay Sands and the National Gallery of Canada. “I try very hard to capture the spirit and culture of the place.” “One of the emerging problems of today’s built environment is placeless architecture,’’ according to Melbourne architect Michael Smith of Atelier Red + Black. ‘‘Cities having architecture that does not resonate with culture, climate or location.” Andrew Nimmo, NSW president of the Australian Institute of Architects, dislikes the generic, cookie-cutter approach in the suburbs. “Understanding the context on every project is absolutely the backbone of good architecture,” he says.


Nimmo says people building a house or planning a renovation should consider their home in the context of the local community. Think about your house as part of your neighbourhood, he advises. “It’s not about differentiating yourself – it’s about drawing out the connections and linkages.” He likes the old terrace house model because the emphasis is on the street, not on the individual house. Cultural memory, the history of a place, and cultural context – the way local people use a space – should also be considered, he believes. Smith agrees. “Resist the idea of falling in love with tropical architecture and trying to implant it [in the suburbs],” he advises. Basically, don’t go on holidays and try to recreate Bali in Melbourne or Sydney. Smith would like to see a design review board where architects vet big projects to improve standards. People planning to build suburban houses should look for inspiration from local examples of good architecture, such as Harry Seidler’s projects in south-eastern Melbourne, Smith says.

High society On the topic of suburban building, Nimmo, the director of Lahznimmo Architects, believes high-density living is essential to stop our cities sprawling. “In a perfect world, we should not be cutting down one more tree or clearing one more forest to make a greenfield development. We should be building within the footprint we already have.” High-density and apartment living can offer a quality lifestyle if done properly, Nimmo believes. “We haven’t sold the benefits of higher-density living to the general populace terribly well.” He says places such as Sydney’s Potts Point and Elizabeth Bay are good examples of a traditional quality, high-density lifestyle. Phillip Rossington of BVN is another advocate for quality highrise living. He’s working on the 70-storey Greenland Centre, which will be Sydney’s tallest residential tower when it is finished in 2019.

HOW TO EMBRACE PLACE IN A NEW HOME

“Resist the idea of falling in love with tropical architecture and trying to implant it [in the suburbs].”

Talk to your architect about how you would like your home design to be place-specific. Ensure the design is appropriate to the local climate and solar orientation. Breezy timber homes such as Queenslanders are great in the tropics but inappropriate for temperate climates. Embrace local materials and techniques where possible.

A balcony for the future, the

At the same time as innovating – whether it is balconies or cultural context – how do architects ensure the next generation of Australian design enhances the occupants’ health and wellbeing? This concept is a growing area of focus for the industry. Mark Stevenson, an epidemiologist and professor of urban transport and public health at the University of Melbourne, told the National Architecture Conference that he uses a multi-disciplinary approach to analyse data on what constitutes our healthiest suburbs. “Healthier suburbs are ones where we see greater green space, reduced emissions or air pollution, not huge road networks running through housing developments – and greater public transport support,” he says. These types of suburbs are soughtafter and attract higher prices. “We are trying to explore what are the physical elements of some of those healthy suburbs, so if we were to recreate those suburbs in a poorer area, what would we be doing?” He says the timing is crucial for the development of our cities. “The time is now to be really exploring what we can be doing and how we can be doing things differently,” Stevenson says.

such as French provincial or Spanish villas.

High-rise balconies are often unusable due to the dangers of strong winds so BVN has developed a new concept for a protected balcony that will be pleasant to sit on even at great heights. These balconies will be like individual pods with a windscreen to offer protection. They’re not fully enclosed winter gardens but will have fresh air circulating. “We’re controlling the velocity of the air rather than trying to block it out altogether,” Rossington says. The “Sydney balconies” will have a solid half-metre-high wall to offer security, timber decking and vents below and above to allow the controlled air to circulate. People living on high floors will now be able to step out onto a traditional balcony 75 per cent of the year, he says. Balconies are an integral part of apartment living and the average size of a balcony increases as you go up the east coast, from Melbourne to Sydney to the Gold Coast.

Your landscape design should make use of the natural levels and features of your property. Use indigenous plants. By Michael Smith, Atelier Red + Black, redblackarch.com.au

t last it’s Sunshine’s turn for transformation. The western suburb has sat largely unchanged watching the steady gentrification of neighbouring Footscray. But now developers have turned their heads to Sunshine and Sunshine North, recognising its potential and proximity to Maribyrnong River. A new townhouse development on Duke Street will take advantage of a scenic, albeit steep, riverside site.

Pace of Sunshine North will include more than 230 three and fourbedroom townhouses, built on the site of a former basalt quarry at the northern end of Duke Street. Initially, the slope of the site presented a challenge to architects, but Simon Maurice, senior associate at Rothelowman, says it also presented some great opportunities. “The natural amenity around there is pretty fantastic in terms of its connection to the Maribyrnong River,” he says.

The river views will give this apartment complex an edge over neighbouring projects.

“Along Duke Street you’ve got views over to the city, so it naturally makes sense to utilise that asset in terms of looking north-east there. Through good design we’ve been able to embrace the slope as an asset.” Property prices in Sunshine and Sunshine North are low compared with more hipster-influenced neighbours. A median three-bedroom house in Sunshine costs $750,000 and $677,000 in Sunshine North, while the same in Footscray is priced at $905,000 and $880,000 in West Footscray.

At Pace of Sunshine North, threebedroom townhouses start at $585,000. All townhouses span three levels with three-bedroom residences including two bathrooms, while all four-bedroom homes have three. The nearest bus stop is a 10-minute walk away, while Sunshine train station and a variety of restaurants are a short drive or bus trip.

he have-it-all lifestyle of a topend apartment is being enthusiastically taken up by buyers. Whether in the inner city or exclusive suburbs, developers are going out of their way to cater for demanding purchasers. Take Walmer, a riverside development on Victoria Street, Abbotsford, for example. If you don’t fancy a night out in nearby Richmond, Hawthorn or Kew, there’s nothing stopping you from enjoying a night in at Walmer. It will have its own private wellness centre with gym, 25-metre pool, sauna and treatment room. There will also be lounges and open fireplaces. The nine-level tower has 75 apartments with wraparound balconies, stone benchtops, timber detailing and Italian tapware. There will also be a 24-hour concierge and secure porte-cochere. Once it’s completed in 2020, Walmer will also have retail spaces, a cafe, function space and riverfront commercial office.

Making war and peace

ust as hairdressers are proxy therapists, being a designer is a little bit like being a mediator. Often a client isn’t one client, it’s two. And more often than not one, or both of them, will have strong opinions about their home and sometimes these strong opinions don’t align. This can spell trouble in paradise, not just for the clients’ relationship but also for the clientdesigner relationship. There are several approaches to solving the problem, you can simply gang up with one client against the other – that’s called bulldozing, and can give you a swift resolution in the short term, but will only lead to unhappy clients and bad results all around. The better solution is to assess what is happening in the conflict, and pull it apart to better put it back together again. As a rule, wherever possible I try to get the clients to agree that

I’ll have one point of contact, not two. They can discuss things between themselves and more often than not come to me having resolved any discrepancies. Sometimes though you’ll need to do the heavy lifting, and if this is a scenario you find yourself in – either as the client of a designer or with your own partner – here’s my guide to resolving the conflict.

Honesty policy Aesthetically two people can perceive the same thing in completely different ways. Just like people love different types of music, art and design are subjective and an idea can be loved by one and loathed by another. Start there. Something loathed by one partner really does have to be surrendered by the party that likes them. However, if one partner loves and the other loathes, everyone has to discuss which emotion is stronger.

You can’t miss out on something because your partner is simply not a big fan of it, just as you can’t make someone live with something they truly hate just because you think it’s good. Whoever has the strongest reaction wins in this instance and everyone needs to be honest.

Come together If two partners like different styles you have two choices: either blend the styles, if appropriate – I’ve seen mid-century classic furniture and art work beautifully in a contemporary revision of a heritage building that was also full of antiques. If the styles are completely incompatible, make a space for one partner where they can indulge their aesthetic completely. Look for ways to integrate small nods to their preferences throughout the rest of the home, which will have

been styled in line with the other partner’s needs. If that solution doesn’t work and both have wants in equal measure – with the result being a mash-up of two incompatible design styles – well, you need to cross your fingers and hope for the best. Look at ways to tie differing styles and items together, such as having one partner’s prized artwork as a centrepiece in a room, while most of the furniture and decor reflect the other partner’s tastes. Make a reading nook for one partner’s favourite chair, in a room that’s mostly furnished in an opposing style. This approach can work, but is the hardest to pull off.

Art of compromise The means to finding middle ground is to pull apart the objectives, and objections, of both people who will live in the home. Find solutions that might not be the most desireable response in the eyes of either party, but neatly bridges the divide between them. Creating a less divisive solution can run the risk of pleasing no one, if not managed well. However, if done correctly, a diluted interior design that includes a handful of treasured elements from each side, can give the most coherent result, while still demonstrating everyone’s unique style.

Sefton, her partner, Mark, and sons Jay and Mac have lived in their Mosman home for three years, and were first attracted to the property by its single-level floor plan. “Living on one level for our family is very important,” Sefton says. “I can work up the front of the house while still hearing my family around me.” A relaxed approach to home decorating also reflects this emphasis on family connection. Sefton is a “true believer in your home being a collection of your journey as a family”. Following this

ethos, she doesn’t believe you can walk into a shop and buy everything at one time, but rather that a house becomes a home as furniture and objects fill the space and reflect the personalities of its inhabitants. “I don’t like our home being too prescribed or trendy,” she says. “It needs to not be too precious; we want the boys to be able to relax.” Tash and Mark have also built their family narrative in the house through an annual art purchase to celebrate their anniversary.

The home is constantly evolving, and Sefton says she is “forever pottering, changing and moving things around so they look right”. However, she does caution the need to recognise when layers of memories and beautiful objects become clutter. She’s a fan of good storage to hide tired pieces and keep the house looking clean and fresh.

lick, modern apartments are popping up in Highett like mushrooms after rain. They’re a sign of the boom times that have witnessed postcode 3190 turn from the perennial bridesmaid to its better-known neighbours, Sandringham and Hampton, into a sought-after address in itself. The gentrification of Highett has arrived with a vengeance in the past five years, and house prices have more than doubled. This has been accompanied by the inevitable arrival

of third-wave cafes, cool bars and restaurants. They’re proving catnip to the young couples and families looking to plant their flag in one of the last fixer-upper suburbs. Gone are the days when Highett’s western border, Bluff Road, was the line of demarcation beyond which buyers were loath to tread. First-home buyers who’ve been renting in Elwood and St Kilda see value in these flat streets; couples looking to start a family are moving out from Hampton and Sandringham

in pursuit of larger homes. The suburb, 16 kilometres south-east of the CBD, might be landlocked, but that doesn’t deter local real estate agents from spruiking it as “beachside living”. Westfield Southland is just across the Bay Road border to the south, but for those who prefer neighbourhoodstyle strip-shopping, Highett Road is the lively home of the latte lifestyle and apres-work drinks. Farmers’ market hankerings are looked after at the William Fry

Reserve, where the Kingston Farmers’ Market lands on the first Saturday of every month, while Waves Leisure Centre – the result of an expensive refurbishment of an existing 1960s pool – is another focal point for the area’s growing number of families. There is varied housing stock, with period houses from the early 20th century rubbing shoulders with postwar brick family homes and a growing number of modern builds – including those apartments.

he fabled Japanese cherry blossom season forms the inspiration for the petite but chic Wagaya Ramen bar in a suburban Sydney shopping centre. The arched entrance and ceiling are an architectural rendition of the experience of walking down a sakura tunnel – a long, straight pathway with a colonnade of cherry trees planted along either side. The soft blush-coloured ceiling and upper walls of the space replicate the ethereal effect of sunshine filtered through thousands of delicate pink cherry blossoms. Cleverly concealed lighting is used to project irregular blotches onto the ceiling, recreating the dappled pattern of sun rays penetrating a canopy of branches.

size of 70 square metres and location at the Lidcombe shopping centre in western Sydney. Span Design’s Elton Chen, who is the interior designer responsible for the project, says he was inspired by the aesthetic influences soaked up on his regular trips to Japan. “I go to Japan almost every year,” he says. “I like the culture and food in Japan. During my travels, I had a lot of inspiration for this space. “I went to Japan in the cherry blossom season – they call it hanami season. The feeling is really awesome. Pretty much the inspiration for the shop was drawn from this.” The ramen bar, part of the Wagaya chain, features a contrasting blue shade on the lower section of the walls, a tribute to the rich, deep-blue characteristic of Japanese traditions such as aizome, or indigo dying. The use of the two shades also helps to zone the curved service counter from the dining area.

“We really wanted to create a contrast to the pink,” Chen says. “The pink is really warm and red. “At the entry to the shop, we wanted to create something a little bit cold and calm.” Neon strip-lighting embedded in the ceiling arch and wall panels create illumination with a subtle, sophisticated mood. Despite working to a tight deadline – short timeframes are a characteristic challenge in projects of this kind – Chen sourced artisanmade Japanese tiles for the entrance and curved service counter. The interior also features custom-made, blush-coloured velvet banquette seating and a light-blue flooring made from thermoset resin.

Architects have applied adapted passive solar principles to BowerBird Life, with deep terraces and screening.

Eco-design finds its wings

M

ulti-residential development and carbon footprint minimisation haven’t always been natural bedfellows. In fact, they’ve largely been mutually exclusive concepts. However, modern principles concerning sustainability and ecology are now creeping into the high-end multi-residential market, with architects and buyers looking for homes that combine beauty and functionality, while also treading lightly upon the earth. Consider the BowerBird Life apartments in Ormond, which have averaged a Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme star rating of 8.1 out of 10. Achieving more than eight in a single-residence house is impressive; to achieve it in a 24-apartment development is, architect Theodore Kerlidis says, “one of the highest in the marketplace and something that we’re pretty proud of.’’ Director of k20 Architecture, Kerlidis describes

his work as “eco-centric architecture – something that puts the person as the human centre of design and the building at the centre of its ecology”. “The game as I see it is sustainability – leaving this place better than we found it,” he says. “It might sound noble, but the thing is, it actually makes economic sense. People think sustainability adds cost, but it doesn’t necessarily make it more expensive.” Firm k20 works as an architectdeveloper with its sister company Longboat Development Corporation

– but banish thoughts of high-volume development. Kerlidis has spent the past two years looking for the right site for his next venture, while BowerBird’s collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments occupies a prime 1500-square-metre north-south site near North Road onto which more than 24 apartments could have been squeezed, had he so chosen. A fundamental Kerlidis rule for good design is sympathy for the surrounding neighbourhood. Keen not to add to Melbourne’s glut of

generic apartments, k20 took inspiration from the area’s California bungalows. The deep terraces of the three-storey BowerBird, with operable timber-battened screens, recontextualise that icon of 1920s and ’30s suburbia with their green porches. Winner of a silver medal in this year’s Melbourne Design Awards, BowerBird adapts the principles of passive houses – ultra-low energy buildings that require little energy for heating or cooling – to the multiresidential space, with great attention paid to insulation and airleakage. A careful selection of materials led Kerlidis to opt for solidmass timber over concrete or steel. “Don’t bore me with star ratings – it’s about the whole supply chain,” he says. “Why do it out of concrete? It’s because it’s the way we’ve always done it. But every cubic metre of concrete produces around one tonne of CO2. With the same amount of timber, you’re actually absorbing just under a tonne of CO2.” Kerlidis’ philosophy of eco-centric design extends beyond sustainability and the use of local materials, to working with the building users. One of the benefits of the architectbuilder approach is that BowerBird buyers will be able to customise their apartments, with owners able to go up vertically or horizontally within the building if they choose to combine apartments. “I’m here to connect people with homes,” says Kerlidis. “That’s my job as an architect, so if someone wants to make two living room spaces or a larger bathroom, we’re here to facilitate that.” The landscaping has also been carefully considered to support the BowerBird aesthetic by incorporating native plants to attract birds, other fauna and insect life. “It’s not a landscaping scheme; it’s an ecology scheme,” says Kerlidis of the Garden for Wildlife-approved plan. “I’d like to think people in BowerBird will be part of the movement embracing design solutions for a durable, low maintenance life. I’m giving them a framework to do that. A framework in which to live.” k20architecture.com

The genesis of the great Gaudi

R

evered Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi is renowned for Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, but Casa Vicens was the first house he completed. With its bright colours and intricate adornments, there could only have been one person behind this work of architectural art. Built between 1883-1885, the house was primarily a residence and opened as a museum to the public only in November last year. The longanticipated opening excited

architects and fans of Gaudi around the world. Shortly before Gaudi started his still unfinished masterpiece in the Spanish port city, Gaudi was commissioned to design this summer house for stockbroker Manuel Vicens i Montaner. The finished product revealed Gaudi’s modernisme style and flair for rich detail. Geometric patterns evident in the elaborate brick and tile work illustrated his love of Mudejar or Moorish

architecture. The house was privately owned for 130 years and listed as a UN World Heritage site it underwent minimal restoration, with the exception of an apartment conversion in the 1920s. Casa Vicens spent seven years on the market before it was purchased by a Spanish bank and converted to a cultural space. The extensive restoration of the four-storey building were led by Barcelona architectural firms MartInez Lapena-Torres Arquitectes and Daw

Office. Australian architect and Swinburne University professor Mark Burry visited Casa Vicens last month and has some reservations about the work. “It was once impossible to get to, so I think it’s fantastic that it’s available for visiting now,’’ he says. ‘‘I just love it, it’s an amazing building. “It was in significant disrepair so that was a sufficient excuse for removing the bits that weren’t part of the original building and [giving] a more contemporary aspect to it.

“The new piece is very fine in its own right, but I can’t quite enjoy where the two join together. It makes it less of a house and more like a tourist attraction.” Professor Burry’ visited the Sagrada Familia as a student in 1979. A chance meeting with the two 90-year-old directors of the cathedral’s restoration led to him being hired as an intern. This kicked off a 38-year tenure on the project, with Professor Burry researching and guiding some of the work. “They had these models that had survived as fragments and my role was to try and unravel his intentions from those models and help set the vision for the work, continuing it as he intended,” he explains. “I would say it’s the only time I’ve touched genius, by being involved in that project.” Recognised by his surname alone, Gaudi is known the world over as a master architect and sculptor.

The highest concentration of his works can be found in Barcelona, where four of the top-10 tourist attractions are Gaudi creations. The majesty of the Sagrada Familia attracts 3.26 million visitors per year, while Park Guell, La Pedrera and Casa Batllo pull in a combined total of 4.4 million tourists. Melbourne-based architect and Gaudi fan Zvi Belling, of ITN Architects, says the Spanish legend inspired his work at Fitzroy’s District Apartments. The concrete and glass apartments were added above a 1940s red brick building. The curvaceous balconies were influenced by the Casa Battlo offices and apartments. “I think what I’ve taken from my love of Gaudi is his talent at working with the organic and how he would juxtapose that with the surroundings,” Belling says. “The beauty that Gaudi put into his work is often absent in buildings. I think he showed how it’s possible to be expressive.”

DEVELOPMENT SPOTLIGHT

U

kiyo-e was a Japanese art movement that flourished from the 17th to 19th centuries. Its name, which means “pictures of the floating world”, refers to the nation’s city centres and reflects the genre’s focus on urban landscapes and residents. Now, the artistic tradition has inspired a new development in the heart of Prahran that likewise emphasises inner-city living and a cosmopolitan lifestyle. Ukiyo, Chapter Group’s latest project, occupies a corner site on Porter, Percy and High streets. Having three facades provides the building with plenty of natural light, and offers all levels views from the city to the bay. “We understand how much value buyers place on connections to light and nature, and how views can transform the experience of the home,” says Dean Lefkos, director at Chapter Group.

Urban living in focus Designed by K2LD Architects, Ukiyo’s apartments have been envisioned as individual floating worlds. The building has just 12 residences, all occupying either a half or full floor. Three penthouses sit on the top three levels. Bold contrasts

between materials and texture are a nod to the Ukiyo-e art style. Kitchens feature Wolf appliances, vertical fluted timbers, stone splashbacks and benches, with stone and ceramic featuring in bathrooms. All spaces have floor-to-ceiling windows for unobstructed views.

“Just as art speaks to each of us differently, so too have we endeavoured to create interiors that bring composition of balance and detail, yet allow for individual personalisation and character,” says Tisha Lee, director at K2LD. Its inner-city locale is also key to Ukiyo’s conceit. While the CBD is only a short tram ride away, Prahran itself offers a selection of bars, ranging from quiet haunts to cocktail lounges, restaurants and boutiques. Residents can stroll to Greville Street for an abundance of cafes perfect for a late breakfast, before venturing to the Prahran Market. Additionally, Ukiyo is located close to beautifully landscaped reserves, such as Albert, Princess and Fawkner parks, providing inner-city dwellers with plenty of green, open spaces.

Hayden and Sara’s art

ast week on The Block, the contestants tackled the allimportant master bedroom. With some impressive floor plans – Courtney and Hans had a whopping 65-square-metre room – the couples worked hard to ramp up the luxury in these multimillion-dollar apartments. After a rough few weeks, and some sound advice from Shaynna Blaze, Hayden and Sara managed to impress all three judges and take out the win with their art deco-inspired bedroom. While some trends reigned supreme in the master suites (did someone say “velvet”?), others were clearly past their use-by date. Here are three bedroom trends that need to disappear. Forever.

with the judges.

Generic artwork The days of badly chosen, generic artwork are well and truly over. Both Courtney and Hans, and Hayden and Sara, discovered that choosing a piece based on a colour palette and without meaning was a bad decision. “It’s an artwork that doesn’t speak to the room,” Shaynna says about Hayden and Sara’s choice of artwork. Neale Whitaker agreed, saying: “It’s a little generic.” When it came to Courtney and Hans’ choice, Neale didn’t hold back, calling it “the worst piece of art I’ve ever seen on The Block.” Sara Chamberlain of The Real Estate Stylist says that choosing the right artwork for the bedroom is a task that shouldn’t be undertaken

Mastering the master suite All-white bedrooms Scandi-minimalism is not over, but the all-white room is. Kerrie and Spence came under fire for their “hospital-like” master bedroom. Upon entering the room, Neale said “I want a little bit of va va voom … I’m opening double doors and it’s a white room.”

“Bedrooms are the place where people are more adventurous and creative with colour.” lightly. “It’s the most personal and private room of your house so you have to like it,” she says. “Choose a piece that means something to you.” A bedroom should be a sanctuary within a home; it’s a place of rest and relaxation. With this in mind, stylist Emma Blomfield warns against choosing anything jarring and suggests avoiding “bright, blaring colours”.

Colour and concept manager at Haymes Paint, Wendy Rennie, agrees that white isn’t always right for the bedroom. “I think it is safe to say bedrooms are the place where people are more adventurous and creative with colour. While we still see a lot of neutral and white bedrooms, there is a strong shift towards the use of darker colours such as navy, olive, deep reds and burgundy.”

Hayden and Sara and Bianca and Carla clearly got the colour memo: they both opted for colour over allwhite walls, much to the joy of the judges. Rennie predicts that this is something we’ll see continuing into 2019. “I’m seeing the use of beautiful soft greens, which create a sense of calm and tranquillity,” she says. “The other popular trend is using deep, rich tones in burgundy and rust with pink toned nudes to create warmth, a comfortable haven away from the outside world.”

Televisions There are many reasons why televisions have no place in the bedroom. Some argue it makes getting a restful sleep difficult, while others worry that it spells the death of romantic relationships. When it comes to adding a television to the bedroom, Chamberlain is firm. “Never, ever, ever. Absolutely no way.” Norm and Jess’s decision to add a TV proved to be a mistake. The judges were unimpressed with the couple’s placement of a TV in front of

their bed, with Neale saying it resembled a “Gold Class cinema seat” and made the room all about the TV. However, Bianca and Carla escaped such criticism by using one of Samsung’s new frame televisions, and setting it to an artwork instead of a flat black screen. Shaynna called it “beautiful” and Neale commended its versatility. “That’s clever. That allows you the luxury of television in bed, should you want it, but when you’re not watching it, it becomes an artwork”, he said. Blomfield is a bit more generous and believes adding a television is a personal decision, however, she is careful to point out that placement is very important. “Try not to make the TV the focal point in the room. [Place] it off to the side or, better yet, install a mirrored TV so when the TV is off it looks like a mirror.” See Domain judge Alice Stolz on The Block every Wednesday night and head to domain.com.au/the-block for the behind the scenes news.
