Designed by Hot Black and built by Amicus the Goldfields spec suites were positioned across three floors of the Goldfields office tower in Chapel Street, South Yarra, with each space offering a distinctly different look and feel.

Metropolis
As promised, I’m sharing another body of work from recent years (well, a selection of images from it). This one, Metropolis, followed on from "Ships in the Night" and was also made in 2018. It continues my ongoing exploration on the theme of isolation, a theme that has taken on a whole new meaning since I made this work. In any case, I’m not done with it!
This body of work was exhibited in 2018 at Yarra Sculpture Gallery as part of the Fresh 18 Group show. These and all of my fine art works are available in limited edition prints - get in touch via the Contact page if you’d like to know more.
Metropolis
I am drawn to cities and never tire of capturing their beauty, overt and hidden. There is a certainty in the symmetries, patterns, colours and forms that is familiar and comfortable.
The city holds great appeal for me yet I feel an imbalance.
As our cities grow and sprawl, so too does our sense of isolation and loneliness. The rural villages of connected communities have given way to vast metropolises of concrete and steel, overflowing with profoundly disconnected, lonely individuals. Disconnected from each other and from nature.
Collins Street Workplace by Hotblack and Plan Group
People are finally returning to the CBD for work and companies like Sportsbet are making it worth their while. Designed by Hot Black and built by Plan Group, their new Melbourne office is a vibrant and colourful place to spend time.
Carlton Terrace by Rosstang Architects
It’s nearly February. Too late for Happy New Year? In any case 2020 is behind us and although I have somewhat (very much) enjoyed my hiatus from posting on social media while Covid did it’s worst, it’s time to come back to the business of sharing my work and the work of my wonderful clients.
I won’t start exactly where the year ended, but close, with this stunning terrace renovation by Rosstang Architects. Set in an idyllic spot in Carlton it’s an old gem come back to life with striking and clever interior architecture, and a homeowner’s eye for beautiful and interesting things.
Colour and pattern as far as the eye can see
It was an absolute pleasure to shoot this restoration and renovation project in Brunswick West a short while ago. Designed by architect Gordon Patullo, interiors a collaboration with Alison Leeder and Samantha Everton, built by the lovely folk at Maizac Building and Construction, and styled by Annalisa Tavrou. As I moved through the house every room was a new delight of colour and pattern! Here’s a few images from the shoot.
Marion Apartments by MOS Architects
Just down the lane off Gertrude from a favourite wine bar by the same name, the Marion Apartments by MOS Architects have been crafted by Lazcon Build from an old red brick warehouse. Shot back in June with styling by Jacquie Lazzarotto. I can imagine living here, although the proximity to Marion and Tamura Sake Bar suggests I’d be eating out a lot! And for the folk that know me well, yes, it’s my bike.
F3 Studio - Form, Function, Fuzzy Feeling
in Interiors
Before I move fully in to 2018, I thought I'd share one last project from the final weeks of 2017. This one a moody, warm and inviting home studio, and the new digs of Mr. James Woodfood of F3 Studio. Um, how about those soft grey curtains for a start?
Glen Iris House by Silvia Roldan
in Interiors
Happy New Year! I had a pretty busy second half of last year and was a little (ok, a lot) slack bringing you new work here on my journal. I thought I'd start the year sharing a few shoots from the final weeks of 2017. First up some images from a Glen Iris project by talented Interior Designer, Silvia Roldan. Some gorgeous art and custom pieces in this one - a pleasure to shoot. Wishing you all the best for 2018!
