Fluffy focaccia served in thick slabs has become a fixture on menus around Melbourne. But at new South Yarra focacceria Zita’s, owners Sara Pestarino and Riccardo Guglietti offer a version that’s less common in Australia. At Zita’s, you’ll find Genovese-style olive focaccia served by the slice, alongside a simpler version with no toppings and another laced with squacquerone (a soft crumbly cheese from the Emilia-Romagna region). The filled focaccias follow a different recipe, one built on a high-hydration dough that’s fermented for 36 to 38 hours. Sandwiches include Nonna’s Favourite – a classically Italian combo of capers, roast sauce and vitello tonnato (thinly sliced veal) – and the Roman Empire, a rich number piled with stracciatella, artichoke sauce, mortadella and pistachios. — QM

Melbourne-based jewellery designer Alicia Millan dreams up pieces with gold, silver, stones and diamonds for her label Aletheia & Phos. Her most recent collection, Il Dolce Far Niente – an Italian phrase translating to “the art of doing nothing” – is inspired by the sweetness of slowing down and noticing the beauty in the little things. We’re eyeing the mooncrested Piccolomini necklace, referencing the tiles inside Siena Cathedral’s library, and the statement Palermo Quattro Canti earrings featuring a green onyx centre cornered by freshwater pearls. — GG

THE INTERVIEW

Kate Berry Connects City and Country With Good Music and Good Times Words by Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen Photo by Nathan Kaso

Kate Berry’s career is, in a word, varied. The Geelong-based creative has worn many hats: graphic designer, cafe owner, magazine editor, photographer and now, director of boutique music festival OK Motels. “I’ve recently been diagnosed with ADHD, so it makes total sense now why my career’s gone from this to that,” she laughs. At the very beginning of her working life, Berry’s dream was to move to London and work in advertising. After doing just that and realising it was “the most evil job ever” she returned to Melbourne and opened the hole-in-the-wall Switchboard Cafe in 2005. “I thought selling coffee and sandwiches was such an honest way of making money,” she tells Broadsheet. It was there she met many of the Melbourne creatives who would become her personal and professional community. In fact, you could say community is the common thread in Berry’s CV. “I just like bringing people together, whether that’s through the magazine, the cafe or events,” she says. After leaving Switchboard – which contin continued its life without her until closing during the pandemic – Berry started a blog called Lunch Lady. It expanded into a print magazine with frankie magazine co-founders Lara Burke and Lou Bannister, but ultimately Berry realised that her work-life balance was out of sync. “Creating this magazine that was about food and family ultimately took me away from both of those in my own life,” she says. “My life was content for a magazine – blurring that line was unhealthy and not good for my kids either.” A change was, again, in order, and this one came from an existing project. Berry had an Instagram account documenting the vintage motels she encountered on regional road trips. Nostalgic hues and old-school architecture were key. “No one was afraid of colour, texture

and patterns when these motels were built – they had so much more character, whereas you go to places now and they all just look the same,” she says. One of those motels was in Charlton, three hours north-west of Melbourne. When Berry saw its function room the idea for OK Motels took form: a boutique festival that’s part rock’n’roll road trip, part nostalgic weekender, with mini golf and pool parties offered alongside the music. With the help of 3RRR presenter and next-door neighbour Nicole Tadpole, Berry ran her first festival in 2018 with well-known Melbourne acts like Tropical F*ck Storm, Cable Ties and Blake Scott on the bill. OK Motels has since gone from strength to strength. Charlton’s festival happens yearly and other events have run in Geelong and Melbourne. But it’s not just about good times – the bottom line is connection. A doubles pool competition pairs locals with “blow-ins”, the Charlton CWA hosts an afternoon tea, and the town’s Year 10 students run a fundraising dinner for their work experience program, which has led to placements in Melbourne. “I love that the event has grown into a bit more of a meaningful thing than just bringing music to the town. It’s started to build connections between Melbourne and Charlton.” She’s grown her own friendships from OK Motels, too. “I cry every time I go there … I get so emotional because of the attachment I never would have imagined to people who live in a town over three hours away from my house.” Through OK Motels, Berry hopes people feel encouraged to explore the regions and discover hidden gems. “The big thing behind OK is for people to stop at these little places, say hi and have a pot at the pub. The attraction of these places is the people who are there.” F e b r u a r y 7, 2 0 2 4

HOME OF THE WEEK

Live in a botanical paradise

“This is such a beautiful period home with amazing views of the eastern ranges. And the resortstyle pool and garden surrounds make this the ideal place for a family to call home.”

Words by Anders Furze

A verdant family oasis awaits the fortunate new buyers of this Mont Albert property, which offers plenty of generous family living on about 1141 square metres. With enviable elements including a heated pool, lush gardens (don’t overlook the water fountain), and views extending to the Dandenongs and Yarra Ranges, it all makes for proper domestic tranquillity. A boutique music/art studio can be separately accessed from the wisteria-covered verandah, offering space to practice an instrument or engage with creative pursuits while indulging in the delightful views of the front garden. Inside, the first of the home’s three bedrooms is to the right of the entry. This bedroom has a corner fireplace, two built-in wardrobes and an en suite. The formal dining and living rooms are accessed off a hallway to the south. It’s all about elegant family living in this section. There’s versatility, too: the dining room, with its bay window overlooking the front garden, could easily function as an extra bedroom if that were required.

The gas log fire brings warmth to this space, while the windows offer views past the gardens to the mountains. The main bedroom offers the height of luxury, thanks to a fireplace, an en suite with a double vanity, and a walk-in wardrobe. But it’s the direct access to the rear courtyard, and poolside views from the bed, that really stun. The rear of the property speaks to the best of Provence-inspired al fresco design. The heated pool is adorned with handpainted tiles and it’s all overseen by the modern, light-filled meals and family room at the back of the house. The kitchen is smartly finished with Italian tiles and there’s a stone fireplace, cosily nestled between two window seats. Smack bang in the middle of the home you’ll find another bedroom, with a built-in wardrobe, and the main central bathroom, with a relaxing bath. Out in the back garden, the separate storage building could also function as a home gym, and there’s a separate workshop with a built-in desk here as well.

There are several other features throughout that elevate this home, including the alarm system, designer chandeliers, underfloor heating, outdoor fans, drip irrigation and water tanks. This family garden oasis can be found in the Mont Albert Estate, a coveted residential neighbourhood that is only moments away from the train line and Whitehorse Road’s trams, shops and cafes. There is also a variety of public and independent schools in the area. Mont Albert 11 Marlborough Street $4.5 million 3

Jorja Brown Is at Home in an Architectural Icon Words by Rosie Herdman · Photos by Natalie Jeffcott


FEATURE

For Kew-based creative Jorja Brown, a Robin Boyd-designed home serves as an ever-changing furniture showroom as much as it does her place of rest. She collects and curates unique second-hand furniture, and lives among her treasures for sale.

I

ntentionality surrounds Jorja Brown, from the purposeful way she sources for her vintage furniture business to her approach to decorating her home. The sentiment extends to her career evolution as well. The former marketing lead combines her love for well-designed things with a desire to provide affordable, locally sourced pieces for people to cherish for years. Based in Kew, Brown lives in one of two flats attached to Lawrence House designed by leading Australian modernist architect Robin Boyd. Her 1960s home doubles as a showroom and storage space – where treasures for sale serve as temporary home fur furnishings. “It’s kind of like a home gallery, but I just share it online,” she tells Broadsheet. “I get to live with them for a little bit and be part of their journey.” The week before March 2020’s lockdown, Brown “stumbled upon” her architectural rental and was the only person at the inspection. She knew instantly it was the one for her and ended up writing a kind of cover let letter to become the house’s custodian. “I went into this big spiel saying how I love design and how it made me feel, and I was lucky enough to get it.” Brown was the marketing lead for Melbourne Fashion Week and Melbourne Music Week for several years, and the move into her Kew flat was pivotal in inspiring her business. Previously called Slow Studio, she launched her now eponymous company in 2021. “As I furnished my first home – I’d say 95 per cent is second-hand – I realised that my design eye, cultivated from my background in fashion and creative marketing, transitioned into the realm of interiors.” Brown started her Instagram account and initially ran it anonymously, selling pieces she found from scouring around Melbourne. 12

BROADSHEET

“It’s a real creative passion and I love doing it,” she says. “I love the hunt. I’d rather be looking for stuff online or in real life than watching TV.” She isn’t limited to an era when she’s looking for furniture, homewares and decor. Instead she chooses diverse pieces that stand out to her. Brown often restores them her herself before listing them online. “I’m looking for materiality, form, craftsmanship, texture and uniqueness,” she explains. Seeing pieces already in situ in her home helps customers picture what something might look like in their own place – whether that’s a pink, ’70s La Rochere mushroom table lamp or a circular bronze mirror. “The house is ever-changing. It never looks the same,” Brown says. Sometimes she wonders in hindsight if she should have kept something, but she loves seeing her pieces in interior design projects featured in publications or online. “It’s nice to see they’ve found different homes.” Brown is currently working on two products of her own – a shelf and a lamp – which she hopes to release this year. “True to [my business’s former] name, it’s been very slow,” she jokes. For now, it’s all about pieces that have lived and been loved before. “That’s what I love about sourcing vintage and second-hand. All those objects have a life and a story to tell.” * Name: Jorja Brown Lives: In a Robin Boyd-designed apartment in Kew Since: 2020 * What made you fall in love with the house when you first saw it? While the house itself is quite small, it feels expansive with great floor-to-ceiling windows.

The external facade is quite striking, with brutalist columns and brickwork. On the inside, these columns serve a dual purpose; they house built-in walnut shelves. I loved the wooden cabinetry throughout, and the lighting placements. The ceiling is just a concrete slab with no lighting [attached to it]. I’d never seen that – but the lights are concealed behind the wardrobes in the rooms. When I first inspected the house before knowing its history, I thought, ‘Whoever designed this house, we’re on the same wavelength.’ Architectural tours run around this area and my house is on a tour – I often invite the groups in to have a look around and I hear people say it looks like a house that could be built now. It seems modern almost. It’s aged well, and that’s great design. It’s a testament to Boyd and why he’s one of Australia’s most influential architects. Have you made any (rent-friendly) changes since you moved in? I removed some internal doors, opened up the space and connected the rooms. It gives it more of an expansive feel and is a good rentfriendly change that can be added back easily. But in houses like this – even if I wasn’t rent renting and did own it – my perception is that it’s about preserving and maintaining what’s been created rather than altering it too much. How would you describe the vibe of the house? All the elements of the house together create a space that feels wellconsidered. Post-war, materials like concrete and bricks were inexpensive, and the simplicity of the design is functional yet beautiful. To me, the house feels serene and that’s how I decorate too. I like creating a peaceful and calm space for myself. What’s your approach to decorating? I moved into this house during lockdown in 2020, so it was a very slow curation. As it

was the first house that I was moving into by myself – I’d shared houses with friends or lived with my partner – I only owned a mattress and a bookshelf. I curated pieces one by one online, from garage sales and op shops. I’ve found unique pieces that added character to the space and in doing so I found my love for curating. When I first moved in, the house was full of objects I’d collected, but over the past two years I’ve refined my style – and maybe [that’s] because I’m selling more too and things move often. What’s the neighbourhood like? I really enjoy it. I’m in a little area of Kew called Studley Park and there’s a high density of mid-century houses here. It’s in a bush set setting and only 10 minutes from the city. The Yarra River is just one street down with winding walking tracks and, even though it’s close to the city, it’s quiet and feels connected to nature – which I love because [I used to live] on Chapel Street. I went from a fast-paced fashion and event lifestyle in South Yarra, to moving here and creating my own space. I’ve matured and I now relish a slower life. What’s your favourite room in the house?The bedroom, because of the corner floor-to-ceiling window. The morning light and the fresh air are beautiful. The river’s home to many native bats, and at dusk I get this view of all of them flying over as they awaken. It feels like a cocoon in here, I love it. Do you have a favourite item in the house? Currently, it’s my 1970s teak queen bed. It’s a floating ’70s design where the bedside tables float with it. I had seen similar many years ago and set out to find one. I looked every week for about two years and ended up finding it for under $100 – which is a crazy price because they sell for upwards of $4000. I’ve learned that it takes a lot of patience and consistency to find great items.

Canterbury

NEED TO KNOW

By Vivian Tang

Canterbury features a mix of historic mansions and modern residences, offering a diverse range of housing types. Architecturally rich, the suburb exudes charm with spacious gardens and a tranquil atmosphere.

C

anterbury’s appeal lies in its heritage charm. With leafy boulevards and residential areas, the eastern suburb feels largely unhurried. Maling Road’s quaint shopping village offers a compact yet well-rounded set of cafes, boutiques and services fronted by Edwardian architecture. Stop by newcomer Extracted for the cafe’s restored heritage style – note the stained-glass windows and white pillar entrance – and you’ll want to stay for the house blend and single-origin coffees too. Got a sweet tooth to satisfy? Head to Xocolatl. Since opening in 2005 the chocolate store has been a Partsioglou family affair with head chocolatier Christos, wife Jenny and daughters Madelaine and Tina at the helm. Traditionally crafted chocs fill the display cabinet, boasting playful and creative flavours like basil champagne, rose caramel and balsamic strawberry. The Maling Road strip is not short of substantial brekkie offerings either – visit local favourites Between Us Coffee, Food and Wine; or Chapter Three Espresso and Bar. For something a little more offbeat, pop into Maling Road Antique Centre where you’ll find an emporium of nostalgic artefacts and knick-knacks. If it’s a bespoke alteration service you’re after, head to Celkooh Alteration – owner and professional tailor Giti Ardani has more than 20 years’ experience, expert fashion taste and a keen eye. For fresh and elegant florals, Maison Lifestyle & Florals or Flowers of Canterbury are top destinations. Adjacent to Canterbury train station and a swift walk from Maling Road sits Canterbury Gardens. Stroll through lush greenery and around the rotunda, or just sit and ponder – the gardens offer pockets of shade under trees perfect for picnicking. After dark, local favourite Outlaw is the ideal day-to-night spot. Robust coffee and sangas during the day are replaced with a refined menu and cocktail offering on Thursday and Friday nights. For a more casual affair, head to Lennox Wine Bar. A recent addition to the suburb, it offers an exclusively Australian wine list on rotation, with the option of vinos by the glass or bottle in-house, and takeaway. Tuck into a petite menu with curated, tapas-style plates including whipped ricotta with bresaola, grilled peaches with burrata and tasty local charcuterie. 14

Narrow Window Words by Sanam Goodman Photos by Kaede James Takamoto

B

uying a new cushion is no easy task. Between lumpy fillings, scratchy fabric and uninspiring colours, they just don’t make them like they used to. It’s this realisation that led Jimmy Casson and Jane Davidson – first partners in life, now business partners at their interior design label Narrow Window – to create their own range of cushions (the good kind). “We both struggled with finding good cushions,” Casson tells Broadsheet. “I have this vivid memory of the cushions my mum had when I was growing up – the really sturdy ones that fluff up and hold their shape. So I thought, ‘Hey, we should do cushions.’ And that was the birth of Narrow Window.” Casson and Davidson spent countless hours designing the signature Narrow Window cushion cut. Now each piece is handmade in Melbourne in limited runs, and packed with a 100 per cent feather fill “for ultimate fluffability”. Fabric selection is curated from quality suppliers: an array of nostalgic yet contemporary colours and textures, all made to match. After the textiles are hand-cut, it’s time to wander on down to their local haberdasher and select the per perfect zip for each set. According to Davidson, “Nothing at Narrow Window is ever accidental”. The duo come to their business with many years of prior creative experience. Originally hailing from South London, Casson has been a multidisciplinary artist for more than 20 years, across music composition, design and furniture restoration. “As long as I’m making something, I’m happy,” he says. Davidson comes from a background in fashion, design and textiles, having worked for well-known brands and textile manufacturers like APC, District and Kvadrat Maharam. Before launching Narrow Window at the start of 2021, Casson and Davidson spent their early years of dating attending auctions and “buying cool furniture”. “We knew we wanted to pair up and do something together,” Casson says. “The early incarnation of this was restoring furniture, but the second-hand market is saturated with people just giving the fur furniture a wipe down then reselling it with a higher mark-up, so it wasn’t sustainable for us. That’s kind of how we ended up at cushions.” 16

BROADSHEET

Not wanting to be known as just the cushion people, the duo decided to revisit furniture. They began collecting Mitzi chairs – designed by Australian furniture icon Grant Featherston – and restoring them to a contemporary standard through a process of reupholstering, repainting, attaching new dust covers and polishing. “We wanted to sell brand new pieces of furniture while keeping our footprint minimal, all through repurposing these gorgeous old frames,” Casson explains. “It’s very difficult to reproduce these now.” Working under an ethos of constant evolution, the pair are already deep into planning their next projects, which will include more original design work, limit limited-edition custom furniture like dining chairs and bar stools, and hopefully some installation jobs. They’re also catching up on a backlog of more than 800 textex tile baubles, which were supposed to be gifts for customers but proved a pretty popular product among their loyal followers on Instagram. All of Narrow Window’s making is done at Casson and Davidson’s home studio in Sunshine in Melbourne’s west. The duo transformed what was once a run-down shed into a fully functional workshop, complete with custom shelves, a wood stove and enough space for all their tools. “If we didn’t have the oppor opportunity to live and work in the same space, I don’t think we’d be able to work as fast,” Casson says. “We also manage everything in-house, like graphic design and branding, and Jimmy composes all the music for our Instagram reels,” Davidson adds. “It helps keep our margins low, but it’s mostly because we love a challenge.” The pair ventured into the world of bricks-andmortar retail in mid-2023, opening a limited-time pop-up shop on St Kilda’s Fitzroy Street. They’ve since closed the shop, but it offered the opportunity for customers to hold their cushions and get a feel of the fabric and craftsmanship. “We’re only a two-per two-person team, so it wasn’t feasible to keep the shop running for any longer,” Casson says. “I’m a big advocate for trying new things and having new experiences, and just ploughing through any difficulties we come across. That’s what Narrow Window is all about.”



TRAVEL

Canberra’s Suburban Renaissance By Annie Toller

T

o the outsider’s eye, Canberra can seem like a limited destination. On a weekender, it’s easy to confine yourself to the hulking lakeside institutions in the daytime, then drinking and dining in Civic or nearby Braddon and ignore the suburbs’ radial expanse. Lately, though, a new generation of neighbourhood venues – with exceptional food and drinks – has been helping to link up this notoriously siloed city. In Campbell, just off Anzac Parade, a new dining precinct houses Intra – a handsome cafe with stone-grey monochromes, a hip, dubby playlist and great coffee. A few doors down, Paranormal is a sunny enoteca for natural wines and summery plates like tarama with tomatoes and chilli, or white anchovy and cucumber soldiers. Over in the Woden Valley, hit young bakery Under specialises in Swedish bullar – sweet, chewy spiced buns – and seasonal pastries: danishes studded with peach, or escargot with greens, Asiago and ricotta. (You’ll also find Under bread at hospo-scene favourites like Braddon’s hole-inthe-wall cafe Barrio, and Sandoochie, an inventive new sandwich spot in the city.) At the old Kingston shops, an inner-south hub of long standing, favoured local chef Louis Couttoupes (Bar Rochford, Kiosk) is behind neo-bistro Onzieme. Colourful, charred dishes like haloumi with white peach and purple basil, and lamb rump with butternut and saltbush, are paired with low-intervention wines and mouth-puckering wild ales. Lamshed’s is a refreshing find in slow-paced Yarralumla, near the lake. Chef Jeff Lamshed – of New Acton’s Mocan & Green Grout, a forerunner in the city’s dining revival – is doing smart, approachable plates like crisp, moreish spatchcock, and kingfish tartare with finger lime. Likewise Pilot, a high-concept degustation diner, hides in plain sight at Ainslie’s squat mid-century shopping centre. It’s an artful spot – from the diaphanous curtains to the floral installation, a mass of natives spilling from the rear wall – with a playful, sometimes challenging menu (think dessert with blueberry and briny kombu). Locally focused and not too fussy, it balances convincingly its roles as a dining landmark and a neighbourhood gem. 18

This renovated and extended Victorian-era residence, once home to one of Brighton’s early mayors, sits on almost 1300 square metres, giving it room for multiple living and dining zones both upstairs and down, generously sized private spaces and backyard privacy. A heated pool is secluded by a hedge wall, while bifolds open to a covered outdoor room with a built-in barbecue close to the separate studio. Several top private schools are within walking distance.

A spacious home that seamlessly combines luxury and liveability. Behind the French provincial exterior lies a beautiful, fully renovated home with four bedrooms upstairs and the secluded main bedroom on the ground floor. The fine finishes, from the timber floors to polished stone, extend throughout. Fireplaces in the lounge and living rooms, heating in the al fresco dining area, built-in outdoor lounges and a large upstairs retreat make for many quiet spaces.

This big, new, modern home is in an elevated, tree-lined street close to shops, top schools and the golden sands of Sandringham beach. With oak herringbone parquetry floors, the open-plan living area, overlooking the pool, melds with the dining area and well-appointed kitchen (with butler’s pantry). Greek marble is used throughout, from the kitchen and outdoor kitchen to the bathrooms. With a double garage and ample storage, this home is ideal for the modern lifestyle.

This lofty home is surrounded by greenery in a quiet pocket of Hawthorn East. This solid clinker-brick build sits on a deep, landscaped allotment sheltered by a magnificent old oak. With original 1930s timber floors, the home has been fully refurbished, making the most of high ceilings and spacious dimensions.
