From Domain Managing Director and Chief Executive, Jason Pellegrino
Australia has a deep-seated love affair with property, for most it represents far more than our greatest asset, it sets in motion the way we want to live and the memories we want to create.
Domain recognises the significance of property decisions and is purposed to inspire confidence across the property journey by providing support from financing through to finessing.
Which brings me to our exciting partnership with Broadsheet . We’ve joined forces with Australia’s best city guide to create a new magazine that brings all this information together in one place. Our aim is to give readers a unique and holistic view of the property market. We know that people buy a home for more than just the house itself; it’s the local pub they love, the best new restaurants in the area, and the community they want to be a part of.

Reine
380 Collins Street, Melbourne
Australian ease, French food and American go-largery. That’s the proposition at Nomad Group’s magnificent new restaurant Reine, inside the 132-year-old Cathedral Room at the former Melbourne Stock Exchange. Gothic vaulted ceilings, limestone walls, solid granite columns? You can’t build a place like this – only inherit it.
Popping in for quick hors d’oeuvres like anchovy pissaladière (tart) is a possibility, but the ritzy menu is best suited for big occasions. From the sea there are oysters, a lobster cocktail, an ever-changing seafood platter for two, and caviar served with crème fraîche and tempura kombu (seaweed).
For mains, an imposing woodfired grill cooks whole fish, half ducks and six cuts of steak – the largest weighing in at one kilogram. All the classic sauces are on hand for that proper steakhouse experience. And Reine’s 700-strong wine list is stacked with suitably weighty reds – including, unusually, 100 bottles from the US. — NC
THREE OF A KIND Gildas
FOR STARTERS
Created in the 1940s in San Sebastian, and named after the Rita Hayworth character, this savoury snack is back on the menu all over town. There are many variations, but the standard gilda (found at Napier Quarter) is a spear of green olive, pickled guindilla pepper and dark anchovy. Stokehouse uses a white anchovy, while Gimlet goes for salted cucumber, pickled mussel, tuna and aioli.

BACK CHAT Rosheen Kaul
Words by Jo Walker
Photos by Jamie Alexander
Rosheen Kaul has a large burn mark on her left arm – the souvenir of a recent pressure cooker explosion. The calamity didn’t happen at celebrated Brunswick restaurant Etta, where Kaul serves as head chef, but in her parents’ kitchen in Malvern. After taking herself to hospital, the worst bit was dealing with the mess afterward, she says. “I had to go home and clean it all up. It was trotters and chicken feet all over the kitchen – the stickiest texture of stuff.”
Burn aside, you could say that Malvern kitchen had already left an indelible mark on Kaul – along with all the other spaces and memories connected with her family’s cooking traditions, which combine Peranakan-Chinese, Filipino and Kashmiri heritage via an early childhood in Singapore and an upbringing in Melbourne’s inner south-east.
“I love my parents’ foods so much,” she tells Broadsheet. “Dad makes the most incredible Kashmiri food, which I haven’t even attempted to cook because I’m like, ‘You do it better!’ And my mum makes amazing Malaysian-Singaporean dishes like sambal prawns and chicken curries.”
Currently based at her family home (“I ended up back here post-Covid and haven’t moved yet”), Kaul embraces the perks of living with mum and dad, from a consistently full fridge to an after-work chat. “Having that warmth at home is really nice, because sometimes your days can be quite difficult – especially in a restaurant,” she says. “Mum is usually awake when I get home, so we have a little chat when I finish work. And Dad gets up really early in the morning, so there’s always somebody around.”
Moving from Singapore to Melbourne at age eight, Kaul admits she initially found Australian food “very beige”. But then
came hot chips with soy sauce, school bake sales, birthday party fairy bread. There was also her first plate of XO pippies – a dish that’s “got this country in a chokehold” – at Armadale’s now-shuttered Silky Apple. Her first bite of a dim sim. “I think I just needed to attribute meaning. Once that happened, it’s like, ‘this is as much my food as Singapore food’.”
Kaul talks a lot about the meaning of food and representing culture on a plate. “It is quite hard to articulate my personal culture and family history because it is very, very mixed. But it’s also very clear to me on a plate what it is … That’s the best place for me to articulate it.”
The recipe-as-autobiography approach is central to Chinese-ish: Home Cooking, Not Quite Authentic, 100% Delicious, the 2022 book Kaul co-authored with friend and artist Joanna Hu. The publication has now landed both of them a coveted James Beard Media Award – a prize scheme sometimes likened to the Oscars of food. It’s a huge win for a book that started out as a lockdown project between mates.
Kaul is proud, if a little dazed, when contemplating her achievement. She’s just received the official James Beard medal in the post (“it’s pure silver and enormous”) and isn’t quite sure what to do with it beyond planning a semi-jokey photoshoot with Hu.
Mostly, she’s grateful to have found her vocation as a chef. And the opportunity, night after night, to tell stories with food. “I’m a night owl. I love the pressure. I love the discipline. I love the creativity. I love the way you actually end up communicating very clearly through food if you’ve got something to say … It’s like I had to become a chef. And I’m really glad because it turns out people like the food I cook.”

HOME OF THE WEEK Renovation respects the history
Words By Beverley Johanson
Built in 1907, this glorious Edwardian arts and crafts house may have something that no other Melbourne home has. At the bottom of the garden in a free-standing building is a basketball court with a sprung floor, kitchenette and bathroom.
Built of red brick with a slate roof, Ashworth was constructed when the popularity of the arts and crafts style was nearing its peak. This international movement was a rebellion against mass production and valued simplicity, utility, beauty and integrity.
There are many notable aspects to this mansion, chief among them the architectural features of the period and the masterful and harmonious fusion of eras to create a home that powerfully celebrates the contemporary while respecting the past.
The facade and the formal front garden with a fountain are pure Edwardian, with a colonnade leading to the leadlight front door and entry hall.
Living areas are linked in a flowing floor plan and open to a tiled return verandah. The family room and dining room are spacious, with gas log fires and large windows.
Contemporary drama is there in the kitchen with push-to-open black cabinetry, an oversized island bench, a Wolf oven, Sub-Zero fridge, wine storage and butler’s pantry.
Throughout the interior, with its high ceilings and period details, the decor is cohesive – elegant grey and white with Venetian polished plaster walls subtly reflecting the light.
In the north-facing rear garden, casual entertainment is easy with a gleaming stainless steel barbecue kitchen, a drinks fridge and a large covered area.
The pool is solar and gas heated and surrounded by formal landscaping. Beyond is the basketball court with its gleaming wooden floor and serious lighting.
Steps lead up to the triple garage, which opens to Barnato Grove. There are storage areas here and a studio above the garage.
At the front of the house, a study opens off the entry hall and has library shelves, a fireplace and a box-bay window to the front garden. Next to the study, the lavish main bedroom suite is fitted with his and her’s walk-in wardrobes and an indulgent en suite with a free-standing oval bath.
A pretty staircase with a leadlight window at the turn leads to the first floor. Two of the bedrooms here have shower en suites, and two share a bathroom. One of the front bedrooms has a box-bay window and doors to a charming balcony. All have built-in wardrobes and a large, north-facing rumpus room with fitted desk looks out to the rear garden.
The house has ducted heating and cooling, several gas log fires, a security entry and smart lighting.

Interior designer Brahman Perera tells his clients’ stories through bold works – from homes flled with travel souvenirs and family heirlooms to Entrecôte’s French bistro style, and even a shop ft-out inspired by a religious icon.
FEATURE
Photos by Lillie Thompson
When Brahman “Brem” Perera visits a prospective client’s home for the frst time, he makes what must seem to many like a shocking request. “I ask them not to clean up before I come – just to leave things as they usually are,” he tells Broadsheet. Like a detective at a very stylish crime scene, he’s then able to pick up clues on the client and how they live. “I’ll suddenly see, for instance, piles of laundry, and realise there’s nowhere for them to do it.”
The interior designer, whose work spans residential, retail and hospitality, sees himself essentially as a problem solver. And that’s a slow process, involving lots of observation, talk and trust. “The key thing with any project is to pre-empt problems – or ofer solutions – to things the client can’t see themselves.”
This approach, Perera says, comes in part from a long stint studying architecture (he has a master’s degree from RMIT) and his time working at infuential design frms Fiona Lynch and Hecker Guthrie, before going out on his own in 2020.
There’s the intensely practical side of the process: a case in point is the Terra House in Hawthorn, a project Perera inherited, originally to help with the art. “It was a twin build, with the main project being the house for a family with two young daughters and, next door, a house for the parents who were moving from somewhere much larger. They had a lifetime’s worth of memories and beautiful art that we needed to fnd homes for.”
Working his way through the family’s art collection, he asked where they were planning to hang one very signifcant piece. “Everyone just sat there looking at each other – there literally wasn’t a wall large enough for it. We had to entirely reshufe the layout to accommodate it.”
Then alongside the practical is a focus on the importance of memory, and creating a home that truly represents the people who live there. It’s irrelevant, Perera says, what he thinks about their belongings. “It’s really about whether the client likes them. Part of my process involves celebrating the stuf my clients have invested in, whether that’s with money or with emotion.
“Often they’ll ask me if they should get rid of everything, and I think, ‘Gosh, I would die if I had to do that.’ Where’s that ugly vase you bought when you were backpacking? You want to keep that. Then, the question is, how do we celebrate it? Does it go on a beautiful shelf or on a plinth? Suddenly, it’s really special.”
In this way, the spaces become “layered and considered and sincere and timeless, but
not necessarily a particular style”, Perera says. “I think it always ends up looking like my work through osmosis, but ultimately I don’t live in someone’s house – I have to design for what they need.”
In his own home, the designer tends “to look through the lens of hospitality” – hardly surprising given his partner is Entrecôte restaurateur Jason Jones. “If you come to my house for dinner, there’ll be music on, you’ll be welcomed at the door, I’ll have a drink in hand for you and take your coat. A lot of people appreciate it but, that being said, it’s not for everybody.”
Perera designed the interiors for both Entrecôte iterations (in Prahran and South Yarra), leaning into classic French styling with the odd luxe-bohemian twist. Currently, he and Jones are working on the ft-out for their new Sri Lankan diner project, Hopper Joint, set to open later this year on Greville Street. His interest in design started in childhood, he says. “My heritage is Sri Lankan. My parents are from Colombo – my mum’s Hindu and my dad’s Catholic. There’s a lot of amazing culture that came with them, and that they imbued in myself and my brother. I was very drawn to it – it’s an exciting, colourful culture,
and I defnitely reference it in my work.”
As a young kid, he was also making things. “Everything: birthday cards, ornaments for Christmas, gifts for people … A lot of that came from our next-door neighbours, an elderly couple we called Auntie Elsa and Uncle Ray. She was a milliner, and had a couple of rooms devoted to her trade – that was such a treasure trove for me … She was an amazing part of my life, and I often think of her.”
Perera’s background can reveal itself in unexpected ways. For one hospitality project, a colour scheme started life in a statue of the Virgin Mary that stands in his family home. “It was sort of a blush pink and that really beautiful shot-silk royal blue. Looking at it, I could see how the colours worked together.”
Inspiration, he says, comes from engaging with the world as much as possible. “I go to the ballet and theatre. My partner plays the piano very well, so we see a lot of live music.” It can come, too, from travel or old photography books – he’s particularly drawn to the work of glamorous mid-century designer and photographer Cecil Beaton.
Perera generally finds he needs downtime to “let his brain rest” and allow ideas to develop. “I’ll see something I like and then mull over it for a while. I’ll try to work out what I like about it, and what I could do to make it more interesting.”
This slow contemplation brings tangible results. When designing the Prahran shopfront for fashion label Henne, he kept thinking about “amazing seagrass squares – the ones from all our childhoods”. The idea of putting them on the foor “didn’t make any sense to me in that environment, but to fip them as a wall treatment felt so rich and textured, and really cool”. Like a lot of Perera’s work, the outcome is tactile and bold and nostalgic, while efortlessly up to date.
Being completely hands-on, and taking the time to think and develop, encourages Perera to keep his business “small and nimble”, he says, and fnd new ways of creating. He’s experimenting with lighting design and debuted as part of a group show at Oigåll Projects during Melbourne Design Week this year. He’s taken on the challenge of designing for new builds at Mirvac’s new Albert Park project. And he’s also keen to do some largescale murals, and have time for more painting.
The hope for all his output is that “it says something”, Perera explains. “That it inspires conversation, whether good, bad or other. That’s the aim, that’s the goal.”

South Melbourne
By Jo Walker
South Melbourne’s tempo is set to market days. Founded in 1867, South Melbourne Market now gets the inner-city suburb bustling four times a week with almost 150 stalls spanning fashion and homewares to fresh produce. Locals join the line for Cannoleria’s handmade cannoli and Agathé Pâtisserie’s French-style baked treats. Or load up on take-home meals and ingredients from go-to outlets like Mama Tran Dumpling and butchery Hagen’s Organics.
There’s plenty of energy outside of market days, too – a lot of it supplied by the legion of cafes that make up South Melbourne’s first-rate coffee scene. Long-time favourites like St Ali, Half Acre, Hector’s Deli, The Kettle Black, Chez Dre and Kuu Cafe & Japanese Kitchen cater to locals and office workers from a host of nearby media and creative agencies. Recent additions like Clementine and Juniper (from the creative minds behind wildly popular Carlton cafe Florian) prove the area hasn’t yet topped out on brekkie, lunch and takeaway coffee.
Leafy green verges and heritage architecture bring charm to South Melbourne’s historic streets, and residential areas are never more than a few minutes’ walk from shopping and dining on its major strips.
Tree-lined Coventry Street hosts chic fine diner Lûmé and the thoughtfully curated homewares store Vincent Design, plus the quiet luxury of a good bookshop (never to be taken for granted) in Coventry Bookstore. Cecil Street boasts Austro Bakery – with its nod to centuries-old Central European recipes – plus gastro pub Lamaro’s Hotel and Bambu Asian Eating House, home to crispy-shell duck tacos and smoky char kway teow noodles. Over on Clarendon Street there’s the characterful Cloudwine Cellars, the four-storeytall pub Mr Brownie and, of course, a bougie Coles.
After dark, head to wine and pizza joint Woods Yard or to Park Street Pasta & Wine, where the pasta is made fresh in-house every day. If it’s beer you’re after, Westside Ale Works boasts 30 brews on tap – including 20 made at the brewhouse next door – plus its own small-batch gin, dark rum and four-grain whisky.

UNIFORM Emily Nolan
Words by Alice Jeffery · Photos by Amy Hemmings
Emily Nolan feels most at ease in a suit. She claims to work in chaos, but the founder and designer is the ultimate ambassador for her polished namesake label.
Launched in 2018, bespoke suiting brand E Nolan aims to build a considered wardrobe for women and LGBTQI+ folk. Nolan sees made-to-measure clothing as the antithesis of “flippant add-to-cart purchasing, overconsumption and wasteful manufacturing”. But bespoke pieces are also a gateway to feeling good about yourself.
“I always think: what does this client want to wear whilst heartbroken? What do these garments need to do to assist the wearer in getting out of bed and into the world? How can I make someone who feels vulnerable or is lacking confidence feel more like themselves?”
Housed in the old MacRobertson confectionery factory in Fitzroy, Nolan’s work and home life exists over three levels of converted warehouse space. It’s here she geeks out over form and function, and plays with the distinction between high style and low.
Alongside custom garments, the brand offers a range of ready-to-wear pieces sized 4 to 22. These everyday basics, modelled on fitting data from Nolan’s clients, are designed to work with and without suiting, and echo her wholehearted approach to getting dressed – clothes that work for you, not against.
What does an average workday look like for you? To be honest, most start with chaos. I’m not a great sleeper so it takes me about an hour to remember my name in the mornings. With an ADHD/neurodivergent brain, I sometimes try to wear all the small business hats at once.
I see clients from 9am to 6pm. Then I pattern-make, get my admin ducks in a row and creatively work after dinner, usually until about 1.30am. I like to work at night while everyone is asleep, there are few interruptions and it feels like you have a secret.
How do you separate living and working in the same space? The levels of the space separate the functions. The Dressing Room on the bottom floor is the client fitting room and
ready-to-wear showroom. Our workroom and head office are on the middle floor. [Upstairs, the bedroom is] my cubby house. No work comes with me up that last flight of stairs.
What do you require from your clothes to be able to do your job properly? I need to have a trouser that is comfortable and has room in the leg for the bending, pinning and kneeling that taking measurements requires of me. I also can’t ever figure out if I’m hot or cold so layers are important – especially given Melbourne’s temperament.
How do you describe your personal style? I like to look thrown together, not put together. I’m time poor and it feels more honest and less intimidating meeting with clients. There is always a high-low mix. Think tailored suit but with sneakers and a band T-shirt.
Who are some of your favourite fashion designers? Grace Wales Bonner, Alessandro Dell’Acqua, Phoebe Philo and Donna Karan. I admire the worlds that Simon Porte Jacquemus, Sandy Liang and Emily Bode have built. I love the career progression of Marc Jacobs. And Jonny Johansson at Acne Studios.
What’s your most beloved item of clothing? I have a vintage Nascar T-shirt. I am obsessed with it. It’s so old and the perfect worn-to-shreds weight. I also have a vintage shearling jacket I love; Owen Wilson ran me over with his bike 30 seconds after I bought it.
How did you get into tailoring? Clothing is how I express myself and I believe it’s how I can help others. I like to think of it as my love language. I learnt this growing up in my granny’s sewing room and my grandmother’s millinery school. I studied fashion design at Whitehouse [Institute of Design], graduated designer of the year and then went on to complete my menswear apprenticeship and worked as a menswear tailor before starting my own business.
Women and LGBTQI+ folk are neglected when it comes to product and garment design. Historically, it has always been men first and then women second – the afterthought. I wanted to create a space and a made-to-measure product for clients who weren’t catered to.

FRAGRANCE
“I’ve only ever worn this Chloe Signature Eau De Parfum, and when I say ‘worn’, I mean drenched,” Nolan laughs. “Sometimes when people hug me they say I remind them of getting ready before parties in high school. I love how scent is just as important as the tone of your voice when you greet someone.” $118 at adorebeauty.com.au
Recently she’s discovered Melbourne perfume house Perdrisat. “It is all hand-bottled and made locally. Pretty Boy is my favourite.” $330 at perdrisatperfume.com
SKIN
“I am obsessed with James Vivian. I am a smoker and he makes me look like I’ve remembered to drink enough water, get enough shut-eye … I visit him and his team about four times a year where I get laser genesis and stock up on my skincare routine.”
For everyday maintenance, Nolan loves Dermaquest Even Skin Vitabrite ($130 at jamesvivian. com.au) and Darl Cleanser ($60 at darlskincare.com). And for sunscreen it’s Dermaceutic Laboratoire K Ceutic Post-Treatment Cream SPF 50 ($83.50 at thefacialroom.com.au)
HAIR
There’s only one stylist for Nolan. “I am fiercely loyal to Marie Cain at Have a Nice Day in St Kilda. My life changed when we met,” she says. “Marie took one look at my Hermione Granger – first film – mop and gave me a Lou Doillon that is no fuss and minimal upkeep. I am so bloody lucky that I can wake up, spritz some salty crap into my hair and be ready for work.”
For washing, Hair by Sam McKnight Light Cleanse Hair & Scalp shampoo is a go-to. It’s available at Mecca Cosmetica for $55
LIPS
Nolan rates PCA Skin Hyaluronic Acid Lip Booster ($99 at jamesvivian. com.au): “I talk a lot so I need moisture. This is technically a lip treatment and it has saved my chapped chatty lips.”
For “a swipe of lipstick when I’m late to the pub”, it’s Too Faced Lady Bold Lipstick in Rebel 07, $46 at Mecca Cosmetica.
NAILS
“Sometimes in December I can get my ducks in a row to get my nails done and eyelashes tinted. It makes such a difference. Nails are always Lincoln Park After Dark; 2008, made the executive decision.” Find OPI Lincoln Park After Dark for $23 95 at adorebeauty.com.au.

Lennox Head, NSW
by James Williams
The road into Byron Bay gets blocked up through to the motorway in summer –too popular for its own good. But in its shadow lies the sleepy seaside village of Lennox Head, which has all the makings of an idyllic holiday destination without the crowds.
There’s no fight for towel real estate on pristine Seven Mile Beach, which stretches long past the town’s main strip, and there are a handful of good venues to eat at between swims. Lennox Head, or simply Lennox to locals, is a quiet place that’s not trying to be anything it’s not.
A picturesque headland stirs a right-hand break that makes it a popular spot for local surfers. And on the other side of Lennox Point there’s the beautiful,
secluded Boulder Beach, which you might have all to yourself. Historically a popular fishing area, the headland boasts an unusual landmark: an iron peg that tethered brave anglers to land in case of rogue waves. Apparently the surrounding reef is a dhufish haven that made it worth the risk.
Pat Morton Lookout is a prime dolphin- and whale-watching vantage point between June and November. And the tea-tree-stained Lake Ainsworth is a popular spot for families (and sunburn victims hoping to soothe their skin).
Hungry? Roll straight from the beach to Williams Street, a laid-back all-day diner with a large front deck that hosts local musos each weekend. Or seek Shelter, a stylish seaside eatery
offering paddock-to-plate dining from breakfast through to dinner. Up top there’s a chic holiday apartment with vast ocean views and full-menu room service.
As far as location goes, Reflections’ Lennox Head Holiday Park is hard to beat. The campground borders Lake Ainsworth and Seven Mile Beach, offering cabins and glamping in addition to powered sites. Wherever you settle you’re practically beachside – and sandy toes are welcome everywhere.
