Halcyon Walk 2 & 3 by Housing First Limited and H2o Architects

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.

e/S in the media

Thornbury House by Meredith Lee

Here’s something with all the greens from Meredith Lee’s Thornbury House…

Langmore Lane for Baldasso Cortese Architects

I tell you, I got lucky with the weather gods for this one. I was watching the weather from two weeks out, which forecast 15ml of rain on this August day. Two days out it was slightly better at 6ml. Regardless of the weather, the lovely stylist Cassie Thomson was booked and we were shooting rain, hail or shine… gulp. To my shock and awe, the morning of, I drove out of Melbourne under a cloudless blue sky, which held until about the time I was ready to head inside and shoot interiors. I must have done something, to please someone that week! Anyway, enough about the weather and more about the building. A little residential gem tucked into the side of a hill in Berwick, designed by Baldasso Cortese Architects and built by Markscon.

House for performing artists

This was a fun little shoot. I said performing artist, think clowns. House for clowns in classic Meredith Lee ID colours. My ten year old self is desperate to take those roller skates for a turn!

An updated gem by Rosstang Architects

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.

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.

1 Halcyon Walk by H2o Architects and HousingFirst Ltd

This was one of those shoots that really made me work for the images. 1 Halycon Walk by H2o Architects and HousingFirst Ltd is stage one of three that will make up Halcyon Village a senior citizens village in Brighton. While stage one is complete and sitting pretty in it’s leafy surround, stage two was very much in progress, in close proximity, making clean images hard to come by. To add to the complexity residents were moving in around us and the apartments were unfurnished. All that said it’s a great little building and I loved the challenge.
