Ask any Melburnian with a background in (or appreciation for) design and they’ll tell you, proudly, that the difference between Sydney and the Yarra River city is our European sensibility. There is a classicism to how we approach dressing, dining and, as the architects in our cover story explain, building homes. For anyone embarking on a renovation, their view of what constitutes timeless design may inspire. In an era when trends move faster than an Olympic sprinter in full flight, it’s lovely to acknowledge that some creations are intended to last a lifetime. ●

JULIAN KINGMA
Wo r d s
hen it comes to timeless design in Melbourne, award-winning architect Rob Mills of Rob Mills Architecture & Interiors is well versed in the conversation of what makes the cut. “A common thread that goes through all timeless design is that it must be classically proportioned,” says Mills, who has been in the business for 27 years. Known for his state-of-the-art residential work (his firm specialises in interiors as well as architecture), Mills is driven by a modern vision with an acknowledgment of what's come before. “The use of symmetry must be strong, the interiors should be familiar, often with English overtones,” he says. “Timeless in Melbourne would always have an English style about it because that's where we come from – it has to relate in some way to our English heritage. “The gold rush and the boom time of that era really informed our buildings. Bendigo is a great example of that architectural grandeur without being garish...materials need to be familiar, too,” adds Mills, who counts the NGV International by Roy Grounds as his favourite building in the city. His award-winning contemporary conversion of an Armadale warehouse, which he now calls home, is luxurious yet industrial simplicity at its finest. It's part of the reason why Mills has built his empire into a trusted one. That, and his deep respect for architectural heritage – evident in the Kenley Court residence, one of his creations – where the past and present converge on a hill of contemporary minimalism and individual expressionism. “I grew up in a Victorian terrace in a dead-end street in Malvern,” says Mills of his childhood memories. “It was tree-lined and very safe for kids to play. The home came with high ceilings and large windows – there was a lot of space. “I would say the grandness of my residential work salutes that memory. You'll always find tall ceilings and large spaces in everything I design. “I like to create an environment that is on a different scale to most homes you see; that really characterises my work.” Mills says residential homes in Melbourne have shifted from boastful to understated exteriors – it's less about facade-ism and more about what's within

that matters most. “Early on in my career, clients wanted a grand facade when it came to their homes,” Mills says. “The ambition for that is less so today and I think they're much more interested in the living experience within the building. There is more responsibility in the interior than the exterior now and it's a very common shift we're seeing in architecture. “Having worked for nearly three decades as an architect I feel we have truly learnt our craft, but the principles have always been the same.”

“ARM’s sunken forecourt garden at Victoria’s
usband-and-wife team Chris and Kathryn Rak of architecture and interior design firm Robson Rak believe timeless design is where a formality seems effortless. “Being a design-savvy city, Melbourne design can be best described as understated yet highly considered; priding itself on the rejection of pomp and shortterm trends,” Chris Rak says. Their properties Pavilion House and Toorak2 are reflections of two very distinct Melbourne suburbs. “The addition of the Pavilion House, with its sandy-coloured limestone walls, successfully reflects the Brighton beachside aesthetic,” he says. “The site is expansive with vistas to connect with a wonderful landscape at every turn through the house. “Toorak2 has a formality about it, which one would expect from a home in Toorak. The interiors are rich yet restrained – very Melbourne. “Both projects are a reflection of the honesty and authenticity that Melbourne design tries to achieve.” The couple also count Grounds’ NGV International as among the best architectural examples in Melbourne. “We love the NGV International for the original Roy Grounds design and then the Mario Bellinidesigned renovations in 2003.” Mills heads to Milan's Salone del Mobile (Milan Design Week) next month to focus on expanding his business in Europe and to launch a creative short film The Search with a dinner at the Pirelli Skyscraper on April 9. “Going international is the next big step for us,” he says. “I visit Milan every year. I love to immerse myself in the Italian culture and it informs my design. The Italians are the finest craftsmen of the world and have a big influence over construction of homes in Melbourne.” ●
Shrine of Remembrance is my favourite architectural project. Crater-like excavated gardens form a submerged alternative entry to a solemn hall of columns below the shrine; invisible but ingenious. The range of spaces triggers powerful emotional responses.”

When I worked downstairs, I fell in love with this small work of art.” MAX MICELI \ MOS Architects, director “Yardmasters building at Southern Cross Station is a textured and elegant jewel box that rises above the cacophony of power lines and signalling equipment in a desolate part of our

Tired of white porcelain? Experiment with statement hues for a surprising bathroom update.
D
eciding on a colour scheme for a bathroom is no easy feat. Unlike most other areas in a house, this room is predominately made up of expensive fixtures such as showers, baths and basins that are designed to last decades, and the permanency of tiled walls instead of paint. It is therefore little surprise that most home owners opt for a similarly safe and white interior palette, but the recent collections of leading bathroom designers are a refreshing game changer. British brand Victoria + Albert Baths has just announced a new colour service enabling customers to personalise the exterior of their free-standing tubs and basins to one of 194 gloss and matte colours. Now, home owners can now easily integrate a pop of statement colour into their bathrooms without having commit to an all-encompassing scheme. “For too long we’ve all been playing safe with bathroom design, but increasingly we’re looking to introduce personality,” says Emma Joyce, Victoria + Albert’s spokesperson.

“Colour is a great way of doing this and you can dial it up or down depending on how brave you’re feeling.” Joyce suggests choosing one or two areas of the bathroom, such as a showpiece tile or bath, to experiment with colour. “If you’d like to introduce colour in a more controlled way, perhaps opt for a painted basin, which will create an impact in any bathroom or even a small cloakroom.” Tapware is another way to add of a point of difference to an otherwise neutral bathroom. Melbourne-based manufacturer Sussex has released its 2019 colour showcase featuring fashion-inspired shades of green and blue. “Tapware should be like the final piece of jewellery you put on – it finishes a room and adds flair and finesse to a space,” Sussex director Vanessa Katsanevakis says. “Applying these seasonal colours to the bathroom is easier than one might think. Forest green and periwinkle blue sit comfortably alongside chrome accents, while the muted stone neutrals complement brass and gold highlights.” Sussex can even colour match a paint swatch and apply this to the tapware of a customer’s choosing
A M E LIA BA R N E S
for a truly bespoke bathroom. “Because we manufacture everything locally, we can be very agile with colour experimentation and it leads to some really beautiful and unexpected combinations,” Katsanevakis says. “Five years ago, chrome accounted for about 95 per cent of tapware finishes sold in Australia. For Sussex today, that number has dropped to about 30 per cent as we see more and more demand for colour, patina and matte finishes.” For those unable to renovate their bathroom, colourful accessories can create a big impact and have the benefit of being easily changeable. “I cannot go past high-quality bathroom textiles that can instantly transform any space – and in that category, Missoni Home offer the best selection of inspiring colour, pattern and textural options,” says Felicity Rulikowski, founder of interiors retailer Safari Living. “You can select your colour palette, then add layers with potted plants, flowers and ceramics.” Adairs product manager Natalie Chylinski also recommends bold towel colours and textures along with indoor plants that add a sense of calm. “I think

AUGUST - OCTOBER \ The season of preparation

As soon as the days start getting longer, the gardening year begins, Darin Bradbury of Mint Pool and Landscape Design says. “Start considering where your preparations are at for the end of winter and start of spring,” he advises. “This is very important. How are you preparing for heat and water loss that will occur in summer?” Bradbury, a multi-award-winner at the Melbourne Garden Show, stresses Melbourne has

“crap soils…not very fertile…[with] poor structure”. Many local soils are hydrophobic, which means any moisture beads to the top and never soaks to root level, he says. “The first thing you should be doing is using a bio-mulch, which has a composting material in it,” he says. “Water is absolutely critical in Melbourne when it comes to our gardens.” Soil condition is “everything”, agrees Dave Franklin, of Franklin Landscape & Design, who is a familiar face on Channel Nine’s The Block. Home gardeners should dig their planting holes “twice as big as they think they will need”, he says. “Put in some good fertiliser, wet it down well, and you really cannot go wrong,” Franklin says. “Whatever you do this season, it will always pay you back in summer.” Seasonal tip: If planning a vegetable patch, prepare and plant in this period – before the heat of summer arrives, and after late-winter frosts. ●
OCTOBER - JANUARY \ The party season
FEBRUARY - MAY \ The seasonal clean-up
JUNE - AUGUST \ The season of rest
In summer, savvy suburban gardeners should aim to put down their rakes by the week before Christmas, Franklin suggests. If you have been diligently fertilising in spring, you should “have the lawn mower ready to go”, he advises. “You will be busy in November and December getting it all done by Christmas as it is the pinnacle, when your garden is on social show,” he says. “If you take a long holiday, just remember the story of Jack and the Beanstalk is true. Go away for a month and don’t be surprised if you come back and the pumpkins are in your kitchen window.” Seasonal tip: Water features are fabulous in summer gardens, but choose a spot in diluted sunlight to minimise algae and evaporation. ●
The annual party is over and “it is time to get back to work”, Franklin says. This means home-owners must sow some serious hours into maintenance: pruning, mulching and clearing dead leaves and plants. “Deciduous plants will lose leaves and so there is now a lot more sun coming into the garden and that is great for young plants,” he says. “It is a good time to get rid of all the garbage. The more leaves you get rid of in autumn, the less to get rid of in winter when it’s not so good outside.” Another task at this time is laying mesh to protect plants from the cold. Seasonal tip: Grasses are at their prime so keep up the mowing and watering. “Lawns are exposed to the sun and tend to really take off and look amazing,” Bradbury says. ●
Geraniums often get a raw deal but Franklin insists are “not as bad as everyone makes out” and are a sweet plant option if wanting garden colour in winter. “They come in a wide variety of colours and are very hardy so will do OK in the winter, and coastal plants are also going to do OK,” he says. Grasses tend to “do it tough” if irrigation and plumbing is sub-standard at this time of year. “If water cannot drain away, the weeds will overgrow your lawn,” Franklin says. Seasonal tip: If your family has youngsters, it is a good time to get them tending herb gardens. ●

d Doyle’s teaching career began at Marcellin College almost 14 years ago. He has taught technology, been a welfare coordinator and maths learning coordinator, and is now helping students develop skills with a real-world application.
WHERE DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL?
I went to a traditional boys’ boarding school in Tipperary, Ireland. The main attraction was knowing I could play sport there every day. My dad went to the same school, too ... it was a tradition with farming families. WHAT SORT OF STUDENT WERE YOU?
I was pretty diligent and focused through high school and pretty average through university. Boarding school had structure but at university I was exposed to the wonders of the world! WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE
Playing sport – I mainly played rugby and tennis and while I didn’t win anything major, I was happy when I was active. I loved maths and physics and had a clear pathway.

E D D OY L E
WHAT INSPIRED YOUR LOVE OF PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS?
My physics teacher motivated me to go to university and to study maths and science. I’d like to go back and meet him and acknowledge the influence he had. WHO INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A TEACHER?
My wife’s uncle was a teacher in Melbourne, and he was a mentor and made me curious about teaching. I did my graduate diploma of teaching at ACU and did a couple of placements and felt very fulfilled. WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT WORKING AT THIS SCHOOL?
I didn’t grow up in this country, so I don’t have the roots that are established at school and university. Teaching here gave me a sense of belonging in Melbourne and staff took an interest in my life and my career. I enjoy teaching boys, too, because it takes a while
to establish trust, but when you have that there is a lot of potential for learning. I’ve worked with boys who are graduating through university, progressing into careers and starting families and when they want to celebrate their successes post-school with me, that makes me think I’ve had some influence in a good way. WHAT IS YOUR ROLE HERE?
I teach systems engineering which applies maths, science, mechanics and electronics. There is a big focus on student-directed learning. In year 12, students identify a problem or need in society and research and plan a product as a solution. Students have built robotic snakes to investigate sewers and drones for surveillance. This year I have a student designing a GPS tracking backpack that a child could wear that also has a remote locking security system. Another
student is working on a prosthetic hand that will use 3D printing … he wants a more affordable, accessible option for developing countries. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THIS PARTICULAR SUBJECT?
It’s a very authentic learning experience. Students manage their own project, learn to communicate their ideas and must adapt when things don’t work. Instead of saying “this is how you do it”, I encourage them to find out information for themselves. TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAMILY FAMILY.
I have three girls aged one, three and seven years old. My wife and I just purchased a caravan and I want to get around Australia with the girls. I like to run and surf – it keeps me healthy and I enjoy the sense of freedom I get when I’m active. ● SARAH MARINOS

This spectacular renovated art deco home is one-of-a-kind, made even more remarkable by its location. The property is part of the elevated Mount Eagle Estate – a prestigious residential area designed by iconic American architect Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin in 1914. The design of the 1940s home takes inspiration from the famous Fallingwater house in Pennsylvania by Frank Lloyd Wright. Both houses feature liberal stone detailing, garden settings and floor-to-ceiling windows anchoring the home to the landscape. This particular property has been renovated over time introducing a state-of-the-art kitchen, luxe bathrooms and a stunning pool area. The huge block (1971 square metres) is accompanied by an extensive garden leading up to the home, city skyline views and is surrounded by leafy streets. The main living areas are on the ground floor, including the defined formal sitting rooms and family room opening via full-height glass doors to a stone-paved terrace. Tiled floors flow through the adjacent kitchen and meals area with Gaggenau appliances and a Liebherr fridge, and there is a separate dining room opening to its own terrace. On the other side of the ground floor is a sleeping wing containing three bedrooms, a study and heated bathroom with a double vanity, bath and shower. A floating staircase leads to the first floor containing only the main bedroom – with a walk-in wardrobe and lavish tiled en suite with a central bath – and the retreat-library with a balcony.
