It’s a challenge to articulate why a room feels good when we enter. For Domain Review, I walk through some of Australia’s best addresses, and it is evident when the designer had a purpose. The elan of a room, how elements relate and the statement it makes is the preserve of Australia’s best interior designers.

When you walk through the Rigg Design Prize 2018 for the National Gallery of Victoria (at Federation Square), prepare to be stunned by just how much impact a singular space can have, and how much it can say. Prepare to think differently. ●

COVER STORY

RIGG DESIGN PRIZE 2018 \ Exhibition is at the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia at Federation Square until February 24. ● ngv.vic.

Design of the times H A M I S H G U T H R I E , PAU L H E C K E R & J O S H WAT T O F H E C K E R G U T H R I E

A new exhibit explores how home can be the ultimate escape.

I

nterior design is much more than pure decoration. As such, ten of Australia’s top interior designers set out to challenge, provoke and even shock with a new National Gallery of Victoria show.

The range of styles and influences in the pop-up rooms for the Rigg Design Prize 2018 reflect the designers’ interpretation of Australian society and where it is headed.

Some spaces for the Rigg Design Prize exhibition may have viewers scratching their heads, but there is an overall message – the future will prompt homeowners to create a refuge in more compact spaces, with a new respect for handmade objects.

Most rooms crafted by designers for the Rigg show refer to the idea of the home as a refuge from the outside world.

Designer David Hicks has noticed a return to the mentality that the home is a castle, and his room follows this idea. “It’s almost like people are trying to create this private world for themselves,” Hicks tells the NGV in an interview series.

“Design is never finished because it is an evolutionary thing, it is a journey – it’s being confident enough to know when to stop, to know when to edit, to take things out.”

Hicks’ Rigg room, titled Panic Room, is his reaction to the pressures and exposure of everyday modern life.

“The whole thesis of it is this voyeurism – how design is reacting to this constant pressure of being watched,” Hicks says.

“The Rigg exhibition is an amazing initiative ... it highlights (interior design) as a high art form,

Wo r d s

gov.au/exhibition/rigg-design-prize-2018

turning an idea into a product ... it is like art because it enriches people’s lives.”

Though based on the same domestic living theme, each Rigg pop-up is very different. The display rooms dreamt up by the designers are not just pretty spaces.

They are a mix of fantasy, Bohemian lifestyle, glamour, futuristic trends and art but the simplest space, titled The table is the base – which focuses on the table and is designed by Melbourne studio Hecker Guthrie – was the winner of the $30,000 Rigg Design Prize.

Designers Paul Hecker and Hamish Guthrie (pictured with associate Josh Watt) use several different-sized tables (Hecker says the table is central in all cultures) flipped around in various positions to create an entire room.

The fundamental purpose of interior design is to improve to way we live, Guthrie says.

As much as interior design is grounded in that outcome, the Rigg Design Prize exhibition also celebrates the fantastic.

“There’s a level of fantasy around what people have created that shows there are different ways of approaching interior design,” Hecker says.

Juliette Arent, of Arent & Pyke, says she aims to design spaces that avoid trends. “The notion of the bespoke or the handcrafted is definitely an idea proposed not only in our space but by each of the designers.”

Sibella Court of The Society Inc’s room celebrates the skill of craftspeople. Court says many designers “use a mix of vintage or antique with the new” and show “a deep respect for master craftsmen”.

The handcrafted theme is balanced by expressions of technology. The cool black tiles of Richards Stanisich’s entry represent the digital world, which contrasts with handmade natural textures.

Media overload is the unsettling influence in Hicks’ luxurious Panic Room, where the perfect life seems sterile.

Danielle Brustman’s fun futuristic retro set, inspired by the Olivia Newton-John movie Xanadu, features art deco curvilinear shapes.

Shortlisted interior designers for the NGV Rigg Design Prize 2018 are: Amber Road, Arent & Pyke, Danielle Brustman, David Hicks, Flack Studio, Hecker Guthrie, Martyn Thompson Studio, Richards Stanisich, Scott Weston Architecture Design and The Society Inc by Sibella Court. ●

Five minutes with NIGELLA AT THE TABLE Melbourne is once again on the menu for the world’s

favourite domestic goddess.

SCOTT McNAUGHTON

S O F IA L E VI N

You’ve been to Australia a lot in the last few years. What is it that keeps you coming back?

It’s the big skies and the big hearts! I know that might sound cheesy, but it also happens to be true.

I am just instantly filled with happiness when I’m on Australian soil. For a European, there is something so expansive and open about the scale of it all. And I feel this is reflected in the people I meet. I love Australian company: warm, witty, irreverent and unpretentious. And it doesn’t hurt that the food is so good in Australia either.

Have you had the chance to eat at any restaurants or cafes in Melbourne that you especially adore?

I’m mostly in Melbourne for MasterChef MasterChef, and I eat so much on set everyday, and often the evenings are Continued p11

igella Lawson needs no introduction; so let us simply bring you up to date. There’s always a reason to talk about the domestic goddess – who doesn’t consider herself anything of the sort – and right now Australia is excited for her arrival at Margaret River Gourmet Escape, a weekend-long food festival in Western Australia that kicks off on November 16. Joining her for oneoff dinners and events will be other local and international talent such as Skye Gyngell, Rick and Jack Stein, Rosio Sanchez and our own Jo Barrett, Guy Grossi and Tetsuya Wakuda, among others.

Nigella’s latest book, At My Table: A Celebration of Home Cooking Cooking, was published last year and delivers what it promises in the title. But we love her for her sense of humour, eloquence and the fact that she keeps condiments by her bed, just in case. Here’s what she thinks of Melbourne’s food scene.

late and the mornings early, so I don’t get a chance to eat out as much as I should in such a great food city. But I’ve no made no secret of the fact that the first thing I have to do when I hit Melbourne is to eat a plate of the garlicky chips with feta from Gazi, and to this ritual, I’ve now added the soft-shell crab souvlaki if it’s on the menu. And I virtually inhale their white taramasalata. I adore Piccolina Gelateria and in particular the pistachio and salted caramel ice-creams there. And, I loved the bread at Tivoli Bakery, though I really want to explore the Melbourne cafe scene more.

You’re back in Western Australia for Gourmet Escape again this year. Do you have any standout Margaret River memories?

When I think of Margaret River, and I do often, I feel warmed by the memory of that very special sense of community there. And even though I am not good in the sun, I have an enduring and very dear memory of walking along the beach with a friend and we talked food, life, Australia, friendship, and I just drank in the beauty all around me.

ELEMENTS MARGARET RIVER

From p9

What’s your current favourite ingredient and what are you doing with it?

I’m always hesitant to claim any one ingredient as my absolute favourite, but chief among my most used ingredients right now are preserved lemons.

I’ve cooked with them very happily in the past but, in earlier books, I’d used them really for recipes inspired by North African food and other cuisines in which preserved lemons are traditional. But now I cook with them freely, wherever and whenever I want their fragrant and sour intensity, whether in stews, sauces, cakes and bakes. I should add that I buy them in jars, I don’t make them. And although

I’d used them, as I say, in previous books, my love affair started in earnest with my last book, At My Table, when I bought a jar specifically for my Moroccan Vegetable Pot (the recipe is also on nigella.com). But as a home cook, I don’t want to buy (or send my readers to buy) an ingredient just for one recipe ... so preserved lemons found their way into a twist on an old-fashioned English mint sauce to eat with lamb, and even into a martini.

Australian food is tricky to pigeonhole as a cuisine compared to, say, Italian or Chinese food.

Having visited many times now, what is “Australian cuisine” to you?

I think it would be impossible to give a narrow definition of what Australian cuisine is, but for me it is a wonderful celebration of local ingredients, infused with the flavours of many cultures. It’s open-looking, not stuck in the past, and it has a brightness, a boldness and a directness that seems to be an honest expression of the Australian personality. ● MARGARET RIVER GOURMET ESCAPE \ November 16-18, in Western Australia. ● gourmetescape.com.au

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Inspiring young minds

avier College history teacher James Jacobs believes in the importance of building relationships and rapport with students to create a positive learning environment in the classroom. His year 12 student, Andrew Tiganis, has been in James’ classes since he first arrived at senior campus in year 9. The duo have built a solid working relationship based on mutual respect and their shared fascination for Australian history history.

My brother was at Xavier when I joined the school in year 7. I have been very happy here. When I joined I was a pretty shy kid and I was a bit worried about what it would be like, but within six months I made a lot of good friends.

There are many things I will miss, but most of all I’ll miss the day-to-day interactions with the people I’ve spent the past six years with. There’s a strong bond between the students within each house – you go through your teenage years with the same group of people and that is pretty special.

A highlight in years 11 and 12 was being part of the Kairos Retreat. It’s a voluntary activity but nearly every boy at Xavier chooses to take part. It’s a week when students reflect, talk and build their relationships. You have conversations that you might not normally have, but they are conversations that need to be had. It’s a very beneficial experience.

Support also comes from my head of house and history teacher, Mr Jacobs. We met when I was in year 9 when he taught me history. He’s a very passionate teacher and his lessons go into great depth, which is why I chose to study VCE history – it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made at Xavier.

Mr Jacobs knows his students well. I remember earlier this year being pretty stressed as I was practising for my year 12 English oral.

As I waited outside a classroom, Mr Jacobs saw me and noticed something was wrong. We had a chat and he helped take my mind off things and put me in a better headspace to do my English oral. I was very grateful.

He’s taught me to work hard but to take it easy sometimes and to keep things in perspective.

I’d like to major in history at university next year and I’ve recently been considering becoming a

history teacher one day, and to possibly follow in Mr Jacobs’ footsteps.

JAMES SAYS ...

During high school I was part of a leadership program helping younger students and I coached my younger sister’s basketball team.

Dad suggested that perhaps I was suited to education as a career and, during the course of my degree, that idea grew. I realised that dad knew me better than I knew myself!

I finished my degree, did a diploma of education and did a placement at Xavier. At the end of that year there was an opening for a history and commerce teacher. That was 11 years ago and I have never looked back.

Four years ago I became head of Ricci House which is a position of pastoral care. There are around 100 boys from years 9 to 12 in each house and I’m responsible for their academic, social, spiritual, physical and emotional development. The students and their families know they can contact me at any time.

I enjoy that role because you get to know the boys and their passions and concerns more deeply. You

might share hard times with a student and after they leave school they come back and say they were glad you were there.

The depth of relationship and respect between the students and teachers at Xavier stood out to me from the beginning. It is a very collaborative relationship and it’s important to build a rapport with students to create a good learning environment. Andrew and his year 12 classmates have come through their pastoral years with me, so I have a special bond with them. I’ve seen them mature significantly and I am always impressed by the calibre of the young men, like Andrew, who leave Xavier.

Teaching history is also a passion of mine. I encourage the students to think of themselves as historians and to start with a story and available sources and to look behind those and to look at the causes and consequences of different periods of history. I’m quite humbled to hear that Andrew is considering history and teaching in the future.

Teaching is about conveying your passion for a subject to the students and it’s an ideal scenario when students are enthusiastic and committed to learn, like Andrew has been. ● SARAH MARINOS

Setting the benchmark

O

nly the very best communities can claim a real heart and soul. They encapsulate those special characteristics that matter most building and strengthening emotional connections.

For Burwood Brickworks, an exciting new community coming to Melbourne’s east, creating heart and soul is the overarching objective. “We will put the local community, both existing and new, at the heart of everything we do,” says Sarah Bloom, general manager – residential, at Frasers Property Australia. “Our vision is to integrate seamlessly into the existing neighbourhood, ensuring it is one cohesive community experience for Burwood.”

With the aim to elevate the community and surrounding areas, Burwood Brickworks will provide a fresh, welcoming, connected and sustainable identity.

“The proposed addition of 2.5 hectares of public open space and parkland to the local community presents obvious health and wellbeing benefits for all residents, while a vibrant and engaging new retail centre offers convenience and lifestyle,” Bloom says. “We are carefully selecting tenants for the retail centre that will both embrace our vision as well as fulfill the wants and needs of the local community.”

Burwood Brickworks will offer a diverse choice of residential options, with detached and semidetached terrace housing, apartments and a selection of exclusive land lots proposed.

“We have worked with leading firms Hayball, DKO and NH Architecture,” Bloom says. “Each was briefed with the vision of delivering the heart and soul found in only the best communities and embracing the heritage of the site and the community as part of this process.”

The development is designed to offer residents convenience, comfort, and a connection to nature.

“The liveability of Burwood Brickworks is more than just the homes and what is inside them,” she says. “It’s what our residents will have access to including community amenities, shopping facilities, social and transport infrastructure.”

This includes two anticipated public spaces planted out with a variety of deciduous and exotic plant species that connect to an urban plaza.

F O C U S O N C O M M U N IT Y

Adjoining is a shopping centre complete with rooftop urban farm that will provide a mix of retailers, as well as a place for residents to socialise.

“The shopping centre is aiming to achieve the Living Building Challenge™, regarded as the world’s most rigorous green building framework,” says Peri Macdonald, executive general manager – retail, at Frasers Property Australia.

“It means undertaking a number of world-leading initiatives including generating more energy than the building will consume, capturing, treating, and recycling water, using only healthy construction materials, and enabling an exceptionally healthy indoor environment, via natural light, fresh air, and a strong connection to natural elements throughout.”

The proposed rooftop urban farm will share the

same site as a restaurant and greenhouse situated next to a 100m2 community room, creating an allinclusive rural experience in an urban environment.

“It will provide opportunities for community participation and education through a range of onsite workshops and tours,” says Macdonald. “With over 2000m2 of productive gardens, there will be opportunities to participate in the paddock-to-plate offers and learn the benefits of food-metres over food-miles.”

Bloom says Burwood Brickworks will be a “sustainable, liveable community that promotes the long-term health and wellbeing of our residents and visitors”. “We are extremely excited about the delivering the best possible outcome and setting a new benchmark for sustainable communities worldwide.” ● IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
