Mother Nature is always generous when I work with Rosemary Ross and Waihan Tang of Rosstang Architects, and this sunny Monday back in March was no exception. Perfect blue sky and sunshine to shoot this beautiful update and addition to an Art Deco gem in Brighton. A clever use of space and stunning landscaping by Paul Pritchard made for a lovely day in the autumn sun.
Fixations 6
It’s time to share another of my fixations. Adelaide is still giving here and if you’ve been playing along for a while you can probably tell me what I love about this inner city, industrial scene… feel free to say so in the comments if you’re brave… if you’re new here click the #fixations tag above and you’ll get the idea!
Botanicca Spec Suite
Here’s something else from late last year - a calming, neutral spec suite by Amicus. Gentle curves and a soft palette, mirroring the nearby Yarra River and bushland, made this space a pleasure to move around.
Six Degrees
Shot late last year for Amicus, the offices of Six Degrees, a Melbourne recruitment group. A calming and sophisticated workplace set amongst the South Yarra sky scrapers in Goldfields House.
Fixations 5
Fixations 5. Still in Adelaide (not now, at the time of taking). If you’ve been following this series of me obsessing over fairly ordinary things, you can probably tell me what I love about this little scene… but in case you haven’t, here it is… colour, obviously. Strong lines and shadows - also obvious. Perhaps less obvious is the contrasting texture of those bricks sitting alongside the smooth concrete and bitumen. And of course there’s that ever present sense of isolation. It was also the way it revealed itself to me as I made my way down the lane. Those colourful little buildings sitting amongst the surrounding concrete giants were like a little oasis in the hot Adelaide sun. That’s all.
Endeavour Group
From the moment I arrived at Endeavour Group last year, it felt different to most of the corporate interiors I’ve photographed in the past. What did it feel like? Part hotel, part airport/airline lounge mixed with retail and hospitality spaces.
Designed by Sydney advertising agency The General Store in collaboration with State of Work, and built by Amicus, the office offers Endeavour staff countless options for private and collaborative working, all the tech for remote employees, and fun and comfortable breakout options - a home away from home, if you like.
I was especially impressed by the tasting room, which felt like an upmarket dining space or wine bar, intended for entertaining. All in all a great space to work, a sentiment echoed time and time again by the staff I met over this fun two day shoot.

Brunswick East House by Lazcon Build
It’s quite extraordinary what’s been achieved by Lazcon Build, on this narrow block in Brunswick East. Four levels of clever, comfortable, inner-city living, a stones throw from anything you could want. From the hydraulic skylight to the roof-top terrace, to the gorgeous earthy toned bathrooms, this family home was something and a pleasure to spend time in.

Clifton Hill Townhouse by Amiconi Architects
It was walk to work day for this shoot back in November, which was a real treat - as it was to work with the team at Amiconi Architects and Pip&Coop again. This time a beautiful upgrade to a Clifton Hill townhouse overlooking the park and away to the east. Adrian and the team have brought new life to this home for a lovely family.
