Interiors
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.

I wasn’t sure what to expect as I drove towards this project in Knotting Hill. I knew it was 4,000sqm, a mix of commercial and industrial spaces and on the site of the former Toyota Technical Centre. What I found was a bold and clever update and reuse of an existing space, which offered some great opportunities for photography. I had particular fun playing with colour, which you know I’m a fan of and the unexpectedly green building surrounds. Hats of to PTID and Amicus for what they’ve achieved here.
A light-filled, warm-toned office by Amicus for Elizabeth Morgan House, the peak body in Victoria for Aboriginal women and children, advising Aboriginal Organisations, Government & NGO sector on issues affecting Aboriginal women & families.
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.

Halcyon 2 & 3 that were being built around me here are now complete! Visit this link to see the finished development!
I hit the road a couple of times earlier this year to shoot the new home of Kilcoy Global Foods for Amicus. Set just out of town in a semi rural, industrial estate it was a nice change from busy, bustling Melbourne. In a first for Amicus, they have designed both the interiors and the building itself.
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.
I’m a little ashamed to admit I made my first visit to Hobart this year, that it took a building to get me there, and that I still didn’t make it to MONA. I know, what have I been doing with my life?!
All that aside, let’s talk about the building. The Hedberg, designed by local firm Liminal Studio and Singapore’s WOHA (of Kampung Admiralty fame). Home to the lovely folks and students at University of Tasmania who welcomed me so warmly, and The Theatre Royal.
I won’t ramble on, I’ll just say that it’s a stunning building, inside and out. Suitably beautiful and functional to be home to Hobart’s performing arts. It was an absolute pleasure UTAS!
