Seeing as though we’re out in the garden I thought I’d share some additional images shot for Obake Gardens from Secret Garden House by Amiconi Architects.
Mieke Pattison has done a stunning job of creating a secluded oasis and productive garden in one.
Something a bit different also shot earlier this month was “Superstructures”, the latest installation by Melbourne sculptor, Sean Meilak. I’ve been a fan of Sean’s work for a long time so it was lovely to spend some time up close with it.
How quickly the weeks slip by. Here we are on the last day of April and over a month has passed since I last shared new work with you. I’ve a few things I want to share and I’ll start with this St Kilda Road Penthouse by the team at Meredith Lee. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of soft, sheer, billowing curtains and the beautiful light they afford.
Side note: Please take a moment to appreciate the flames in the lounge fire. It was not a fire kind of day and that heater works! Very well.
I’m a little ashamed to admit I made my first visit to Hobart this year, that it took a building to get me there, and that I still didn’t make it to MONA. I know, what have I been doing with my life?!
All that aside, let’s talk about the building. The Hedberg, designed by local firm Liminal Studio and Singapore’s WOHA (of Kampung Admiralty fame). Home to the lovely folks and students at University of Tasmania who welcomed me so warmly, and The Theatre Royal.
I won’t ramble on, I’ll just say that it’s a stunning building, inside and out. Suitably beautiful and functional to be home to Hobart’s performing arts. It was an absolute pleasure UTAS!

Shot another two great Collingwood offices by Aquilla Interiors and Made For earlier this year. Shadow game was strong with these two, well when the sun was shining anyway! Melbourne…
Here’s something a little different from usual, shot for the Urban Design team at City of Boroondara. The first, a laneway activation project opposite Camberwell Primary School aimed at creating a safer passage for school kids and locals. The second, a street furniture upgrade at Camberwell Market. No shortage of talent for the shoot as the locals seem to making the most of both already!
I watched this house being built - caught glimpses of it from the surrounding streets. It’s not too far from where I’m living while my house is being built. Despite having watched it, I was still surprised, delighted even, when I made my first site visit. The clever orientation of the studio at the street, the house at back and the gorgeous, productive garden in between. I just assumed it ran straight along the eastern boundary! The interiors are impressive too. Plenty of natural light from the northern facing doors to the garden but warm and cosy at the same time. A credit to the clever team behind it!
