Market Gardens The Werribee South market gardens are thriving in rich, red soil. This is the heart of the Melbourne food bowl.
Werribee South Foreshore Stretch your legs and take a walk along Werribee South Foreshore, with views across Port Phillip Bay. Hit the water for fishing, boating, kayaking and jet-skiing, amble amongst the Norfolk Pines or unwind with a picnic.
Point Cook Coastal Park The park is a haven for birdwatchers, nature lovers and families. Climb the Observation Tower at Cheetham wetlands for a 360-degree birds-eye view or fossick along the beach at low tide.
Wyndham Harbour Fun on the water awaits! Or if you are a land lover, stroll along the marina, throw in a line and enjoy a bite to eat by the bay.

WORK + PLAY A contemporary shared office space evokes a private gentleman’s club atmosphere – with none of the snobbery and all of the style cred. Raw timber floorboards, a graphic Persian rug in unconventional brights and a gallery wall featuring a mix of classical and more modern landscapes together tell the tale of its owners who make their own interior rules. Design notes Use vintage finds like wooden tennis racquets to emulate a tongue-in-cheek sports club atmosphere. Q Plywood shelves were used to build the no-nonsense shelves. An antique refectory table was stripped of its traditional glossy varnish and given a matt finish instead – bringing it straight into the 21st century. Q
Tip When marrying old décor details with new – do it with bravery. The secret to the success of this room is the tongue-incheek old school narrative propped up with details like the worn desk chairs, a vintage globe and a vase full of billiard balls. 80 westside living autumn 2021
WORK POD This compact sleep-work-play unit has a place for everything and everything has its place. It is a perfectly conceived space with a clearly defined sleeping area and place to work too. A bracketing system with units that slide up and down to form seating or act as storage is at the heart of the design mastery here.

Design notes The laptop bureau has a folding front that acts as a perfect countertop (or a spot to enjoy a between-deadlines sandwich). Q Tiny homes are here to stay and their success comes down to careful (and hardworking) design and aesthetic considerations. The same philosophies of less-is-more can be applied to working from home in an apartment too. Tip A good cabinetmaker can easily build a unit with a foldaway or slide out countertop that can be pulled or folded out when needed. autumn 2021 westside living 81
