Spent a lovely afternoon in the sun with the Planning & Placemaking team at City of Boroondara, shooting their latest pop up furniture project. Here’s a few highlights from the shoot.

Marlborough Street Social Housing by Baldasso Cortese
What a pleasure it was to work with Baldasso Cortese and HousingFirst Ltd on this impressive and important social housing development in Balaclava.
Built by Buxton Construction on the site of a former council car park, the six-level development consists of 46 one, two and three-bedroom dwellings suitable for families, older residents and people living with a disability.
The building includes a rooftop terrace and community garden, end of trip facilities and a thoughtful art work in the entry featuring an “inverse-Nolli Map” of the St Kilda / Balaclava neighbourhood.
Hats off to City of Port Phillip and the Victorian Government for coming together to make this building a reality and house a vulnerable cross section of our society.
Developer: HousingFirst Ltd
Architect: Baldasso Cortese

The exhibition opens on 19th May and runs to the 22nd May only. Be sure to go along and take in work from leading contemporary artists around Australia. All the details below.
Obake Gardens at Secret Garden House
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.
Superstructures by Sean Meilak
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.
St Kilda Road Penthouse by Meredith Lee
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.

Collingwood Offices by Aquilla and Made For
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…
