Originally shot on completion back in 2024 'The Dairy' is a cleverly designed and built, four level home in Brunswick East. I returned earlier this year to capture the spaces fully furnished and homely. You can see some highlights from the original shoot here.

Left Melbourne on a sunny autumn day bound for Woodend a couple of months ago and spent the day at the base of Mount Macedon shooting a new STEAM building at Braemar College’s middle school campus. Designed by Hayball and built by Bowden Corporation it’s a lovely little building that will no doubt be enjoyed by students and teachers alike.
Hiding behind this cool breeze block facade and striking yellow entrance is a comfortable urban home with lots of clever features and lush, landscaped, courtyard gardens. Designed by MAP Architects this inner northern oasis includes a concealed study and bar, Murphy bed and butler’s pantry. A fun day’s shooting earlier this year.
If you’re a regular here you may have seen 1 Halcyon Walk that I shot back in 2023 for Housing First Limited, with construction of buildings two and three commencing around me. Fast forward to late 2024 and I was back there to shoot those now completed buildings. How wonderful to see it come together with garden views from the apartments and great indoor and outdoor common areas for the lucky seniors that reside there. It’s a lovely little collection of buildings designed by H2o Architects, with their signature yellow throughout and built by Minicon Construction.

Thanks to Indesign Media and in particular the ever impressive Jan Henderson, a number of my clients projects have hit the architecture media in the last few months. See below for links and read about these excellent projects:
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 old gem in Brighton. A clever use of space and stunning landscaping by Paul Pritchard made for a lovely day in the autumn sun.
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.
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.
