Note from the editor

N

ext to buying a couch, the purchase of a new dining room table is a major expense that you want to do once in a blue moon, and is also critical to the changing ways you want your home to function over the years. I have lived in enough apartments without island benches to know that a table which doubles as preparation space is critical (many first-home buyers and downsizers will concur). Given we need a dining table be a desk/schoolwork hub/place to read the papers, it’s the beating heart of a home, where bread is broken and around which most of life’s big conversations take place. Our New Living cover story this week explores how to choose the right dining table for your space, taking into account trends in shapes and materials, and practical issues such as size to avoid that awkward chair shuffle when your dinner guest needs to nip to the fridge to top up the glasses of prosecco but are squeezed into a tight corner.

A lush ribbon of bushland stands between this grand estate and the waves crashing onto the shore of one of Australia’s most majestic beaches.

Not only does this make for a tranquil outlook, it also ensures utter privacy.

Comprising four beachfront blocks, covering 2911 square metres, the five-bedroom, fourbathroom home was designed by architect Paul Uhlmann and built in 2005.

“We saw this as a house for a CEO,” Uhlmann says. “It had two sides to it: a family home and a home for entertaining.”

Stone and New Guinea rosewood make a dashing first impression at the entrance and throughout the rest of the residence. Curved walls, soaring ceilings and quartz tiles combine to create an earthy beach house look.

Our favourite spot? It’s a toss-up between the pool and the window seat in the living room, overlooking the knockout gardens.

Agent Lorna Savage of LS Properties is handling the listing, with a price guide of $6.2 million to $6.4 million.

What dreams are made of

T

here are two Tooraks really.

There’s the Toorak of lovely mid-century homes, streets brimming with divine large spreads and sharp new builds. Then there is the other Toorak. This is the one of our wildest dreams where the homes are true manors and the boulevards rise, fall and bend around high walls and sprawling grounds.

It’s here we find the brand new No.2 Chastleton Avenue and, while it doesn’t boast mansion-sized gardens, it more than comfortably falls into bluest of blue-chip categories.

It’s a gorgeous, shimmering thing to behold, right from the beginning.

The luminous grey limestone is deeply impressive, conferring a sober, monumental feel, while delivering a thoroughly contemporary edge.

Black framed floor-to-ceiling glazing lends a snap while crisp white tones draw the darker tones together. Hat’s off to architect Drew Cole, it’s both subtle and a statement piece.

Jack Merlo’s lovely landscaping frames the home, providing terrific layering and shape to the outdoor spaces and the recessed entry provides privacy from the street.

The broad double-door entry is a suitably grand start and dramatically underscored by that beautiful stone making the wide hallway glow.

Before heading down to the superb rear section at the end of the entry passage there are two very fine rooms to investigate at the front of the house.

To the left is a brilliantly sited guest bedroom with a pretty view over the front walled courtyard. Two generous wardrobes and a handsome stone en suite complete a note-perfect beginning.

Then you cross the hall to the sitting room. This is a sublime space; corner glass wraps around a northwest window where the city skyline rolls itself out for your inspection. A low stone hearth runs either side of the view and anchors the rectangular gas fire. Effortless. Divine. Good luck dragging yourself out of here.

Of course, there are more beauties on display and next right you’ll find the handsome study that doubles as a kind of opulent retreat with its gorgeous glazing out onto a private little patio.

The views, location, design and construction seamlessly combine to create one of the most breathtaking homes. It is the epitome of luxury living.

Need to know: The Yarra is a pleasant, meandering stroll away as is the famed Toorak Village. To the west Como Park is the perfect space to let the kids and dogs roam free. CityLink access is handy and private schools in the close surrounding areas are plentiful.

view the listing

Head back out into the main hall, past the lift and the stair into the splendid open plan section.

Down here that lush limestone catches the westerly light from the dining room sliding doors and the place positively shines.

The polished kitchen boasts a range of superb appliances and a stone-clad island bench of excellent proportions.

The deep-toned veneer cabinetry stylishly grounds the airy space. A full butler’s pantry sits behind.

Projecting out into one of the several large outdoor terraces, the living room is more languid beauty with another fireplace and the surrounding glazing creating a place that hums with easy sophistication.

A little passage banks off between here and the kitchen to a large, chic powder room and generous laundry opposite.

You can head to the fine outdoors here via the living room or the dining area, each leading you onto different parts of the broad wraparound terrace. There’s space enough here for lounging in the sun or enjoying the outdoor fireplace. Of course, you can also take a dip in the sparkling, self-cleaning pool.

Once you’re back inside you can catch the lift or take the stairs down to the basement where more brilliant amenity awaits.

There’s space for six cars to fit easily in the subterranean garage, as well as a gym, powder room and a temperature-controlled glass-door wine room. It’d be the perfect place

to visit to grab a bottle before settling into the lush 12-seat full home cinema across the way, although there’s a wet bar in there so all contingencies are covered.

Hit the lift or take the terrific timber rib stair to level one where there is all the glorious, luxurious accommodation you could hope for.

There are four bedrooms here, all with brilliant stone en suites and plenty of storage. The main bedroom is as close to heaven as you can get with its generous walk-in wardrobedressing room and an en suite with a square-edged Japanese-style bath, huge glass shower and beautiful tiling. You can leave your head on the pillow or stroll out onto the northwest balcony; either way you get magnificent city views.

Take those cantilevered oak stairs again (or the lift) up to the rooftop where you’ll find a large entertaining area that opens out onto a spectacular terrace. Out here, the city skyline takes centre stage.

This is the sort of home that both inspires you to slip off your shoes to better feel the luxe finishes or just as easily glam up and host a cocktail party on high.

With home automation and smart wiring from the very top here to deep down below, this is blue ribbon stuff, a modern Toorak masterwork.

How to cut the cost of buying

B

Pre-purchase building inspection Cost: About $500.

A professional building inspection highlights the presence of any defects, damage, deterioration and pest infestations.

The thoroughness of the inspection and the language of the report can make it seem as if the building is about to fall over, but problems aren’t always as bad as they seem on paper.

Building inspector Peter Alexander from Safe Home Inspections says buyers will get the most value from a building report if they discuss it with the inspector to understand the severity of each issue.

“Bits and pieces of rot, broken windows, fascia rot, roof rust, they are all rectifiable,” he says.

Inspectors can advise on whether issues need immediate attention or can be fixed later. It’s unlikely that reports will include cost estimates of repairs, but talking problems over with inspectors can give buyers an idea of what they’re up against.

Alexander says major issues shouldn’t always be a turnoff for buyers. “A lot of these things are quite easy to fix,” he says. “For example restumping, that’s probably an $8000-$12,000 job, and your footings are done and dusted for the next 50 years.”

uying a home in Sydney or Melbourne looks like great value right now. A medianpriced Sydney house is about $150,000 cheaper than it was less than two years ago, while a typical Melbourne house costs about $100,000 less than this time last year.

However, the costs that come with purchasing a home remain the same.

A buyer needs to fork out upwards of $3000 for professional services when buying a home, such as building inspections, reviews of sales contracts and conveyancing.

While avoiding these necessary steps can lead to expensive mistakes, there are smart ways buyers can get better value from these services.

Costs depend on the size of the house and the scale of the issue.

“Rising damp of the entire house will cost you upwards of $20,000,” he says. “But if it’s just the fireplace, that’s a $1700 fix.”

Issues can potentially be used as a bargaining chip to negotiate a lower price, but this requires more than just a building report, according to Alexander. “An astute vendor would want to see quotes from the licensed trades.”

Solicitors or conveyancers may charge a few hundred dollars to review a contract, which is often deducted from their fees if the purchase goes ahead.

While a superficial review is sometimes offered free of charge, a thorough assessment is especially important if the property is to be auctioned, according to CM Lawyers head conveyancer Alex Sapounas, because no cooling-off period will apply.

“Settlement dates, deposits, all of those things can be negotiated.” - ALEX SAPOUNAS Conveyancing and contract review Cost: About $1500-2500. About $200 for contract review only.

Conveyancing is the process of transferring ownership from the vendor to the buyer, which is handled by a conveyancer or solicitor. But most buyers will engage a legal professional before this stage to review the contract of sale.

These are lengthy documents that can be difficult to decipher, but a legal professional can flag any issues buyers should know about before making an offer.

“If someone’s going to auction, you have to do a full review, because once they’ve signed a contract, there’s no changing their minds,” he says.

Vendors often include special conditions to protect their own interest, such as clauses granting them access to the buyer’s deposit during settlement, usually to purchase their next home.

“They’re using the buyer’s deposit as cheap finance,” Sapounas says. “If settlement doesn’t take place, the buyer needs to sue the vendor to get their money back.”

A legal professional can advise whether contentious conditions can be altered or removed. Even standard clauses can be altered, according to Sapounas. “Settlement dates, deposits, all of those things can be negotiated.”

For particularly problematic properties, they can advise whether the buyer should not proceed with the purchase.

Deciding between a conveyancer or solicitor largely depends on personal preference and the specific property.

Conveyancers specialise in property law and their fees are usually lower.

“They’re limited to providing advice on the contract of sale and any documents that are related to the contract of sale,” he says.

Solicitors may not specialise in property law, but may be more useful in complex transactions, such as those involving trusts or off-the-plan purchases, or problems during settlement.

“If there is a contract dispute, then you need to get specific legal advice from a solicitor,” Sapounas says.

Smart, spacious and deceptively simple, this new house has a paredback sophistication that works well in Flinders. The dark exterior is fronted by a low-maintenance garden and, inside, the house is laid out around a central hallway that finishes at the large open-plan kitchen, living and dining room. This room is the hub of the house, with the salt-chlorinated, solar-heated pool just outside and a smart servery bar connecting the kitchen to the outdoor dining area.

Come gather around lost in the space. It’s really hard for consumers to understand that fine balance and choose the table they love that fits perfectly within the space needed.”

Scali’s advice: come armed with the measurements of the particular space (and bring a tape measure, if need be), and don’t be afraid to take inspiration from the past.

Nick Scali’s Alicanto table is an excellent example.

Soon to be released, this new addition to the range takes its cues from the 1970s with a terrazzo top.

MARK ROPER

t’s the most important piece of furniture in the home. More social than a great couch, more engaging than the flat-screen TV (yes, really), a good dining table is not just a place to eat. It’s a family hub and an entertaining hotspot, as well as a significant contributor to the style of a home.

File it under “forever furniture”. A well-chosen dining table is destined to become a treasured family heirloom. This receptacle of memories is an investment piece well deserving of your money. But first, of course, comes the challenge of making the right choice.

Stephanie Scali, general manager of merchandise at Australian furniture brand Nick Scali, says choosing a dining table is an amalgam of moving parts relating to shape, finish, material and much more.

However, the primary consideration is making the right choice to fit the space.

“The most important thing to consider when choosing a dining table is getting the right balance between the size of your room and the size of the dining table on offer,” says Scali, the third generation of her family to work in the family business that was established in 1962.

“Try not to fall into a trap of choosing style over size limitations.

An oversized table in a small room will make the room seem even smaller, whereas a small table in a large room will feel disjointed and

“The terrazzo means each piece is different. It’s a material that is really gaining in popularity, although this is the first time it’s been seen in dining tables,” Scali says. It also has an elongated oval-shaped top.

Ah yes, shape. Rectangular remains top of the dining table pops due to its enduring practicality and versatility.

However, Scali notes that the use of oval and round shapes is at the leading edge of trends this year.

“I love that mid-century modernism, 1970s-inspired, is coming back, with rounded tables.”

That retro element involves more than hitting “refresh” on table design, says stylist and interior designer Simone Haag. “Oval or round tables can be a nice device in getting that length that you need but the curved sides are great for conversation.”

In other words: having no “head” of the table is a democratising element that can work in favour of the avid dinner-party holder.

It’s also important, Haag says, to be generous with the clearance space given to a table – and don’t forget to factor in the chairs to that equation, or expect to live as though you’re crammed into a caravan.

“You don’t want people to have to shuffle in their chairs towards the table when someone wants to get out.”

Chairs are a great way to style up a table. Rounded, 1970s-inspired chairs are making a big splash at the moment, Scali says.

“I feel black is the new white. Bold black statement chairs have become very popular. If it’s not black, definitely subtle colours of blush and pastels are starting to come alive.”

Marble continues to dominate the high end of the market, even if its parameters are changing.

No longer uniformly white or black, new colours such as deep olive are asserting themselves in Haag’s world, while bolder, statement-making patterns are also growing in popularity.

Other materials worthy of consideration include stone and resin, Miriam Fanning of Mim Design says.

“I saw the most amazing table recently made of recycled resin, and it seems the more youthful market is attracted to coloured stone.”

Sign of the times Few things are more emblematic of the change in Australian living styles than the way we dine. Until midlast century the dining table, along with the purpose-built room it inhabited, represented something formal, cloistered and sacrosanct.

But blame the rise of modernism and its love of open-plan spaces. Blame the rise of TV. Both represented a very real existential threat to the dining room and have relegated it to something now usually only seen in grand period houses or in new builds that also come with a wine cellar and media room.

Ironically, in an age where kitchens embrace the concept of the butler’s pantry, most modern builds have jettisoned the idea of a closed-off space where that fictitious Jeeves might have served a dinner party

complete with candlelight and double linen.

In 2019, the dining room is an increasingly scarce commodity, yet the dining table has gone from strength to strength as a busy household hub.

Happily co-opted into dayto-day existence, it’s a place for homework, jigsaw puzzles and computers. Above all, thanks to an awareness of the need to switch off devices and connect in real life, it has returned to its original purpose as a place to break bread, and soften the

Be it upsizing or downsizing, changing homes can mean changing tables due to fluctuating size requirements. With that in mind, extendable tables with additional leaves that can be added for a dinner party and taken away for everyday use are worthy of consideration.

“The working mechanisms are now a lot more sophisticated than they were in the past,” Haag says, “and the leaves can be stored under the table.”

Something often overlooked in the pursuit of the investment dining table is the position of the legs.

A central base can allow the table top to “float” above the chairs, as well as giving the flexibility to change the table top if you move.

Table legs can be a hindrance, forcing the placement of chairs and making life uncomfortable for the inhabitants of any additional places set. That said, the solid form that supports an investment-grade dining table can become part of its appeal.

“I like the solid form behind large bases,” Fanning says. “They can become a feature in their own right.

If you find that balance between material, form, shape and simplicity, you’ve got a table for life.”

edges of family life.

SHANNON McGRATH

A patina of age, whether on marble or timber, is nothing to frightened of, Fanning says. “People tend to fall into two categories: those who are horrified at the thought of an oil stain on their marble tabletop, and those who just accept it as part of choosing that material. I don’t mind if a table has dints and scratches, it becomes part of its story.”

Oxidised and weathered oak is starting to vie for attention, competing with the natural, white oaks that have dominated the market for the past few years.

The obvious problem with buying an investment dining table lies in the fact most of us will move house several times over a lifetime.

The art of everlasting design

Architect Matthew Fooks of Jackson Clements Burrows.

dapting a heritage building to a modern world can be hairtearingly frustrating. In most cases, says architect Matthew Fooks, it’s much easier to build an entirely new building.

But the weaving of new and old together is always much more worthwhile.

“In one sense, it’s certainly easier to start with a clean slate,” he says.

“But even though it’s more difficult with an existing building, often the result you end up with is superior because it gives you a place to start

and then you can set your new buildings against the existing buildings.”

Fooks, an architect at Jackson Clements Burrows, retained the facade of the old boot factory on the corner of Argyle and Fitzroy streets when designing Fitzroy House – a collection of 34 high-end one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Installing a two-level basement underneath the 19th-century building proved to be the toughest addition.

Fitzroy House retains the facade of a former boot factory, melding past and present.

“Under the whole building is a couple of levels of basements so trying to fit the new around the old, doing the structural gymnastics to achieve that, is very difficult,” he says. “Worth the trouble, but that was certainly one of the great challenges.”

Fortunately, for Fooks and the interiors team at Hecker Guthrie, the original building is in good shape.

“The good thing is when you come across these brick buildings, the bricks will last forever,” Fooks says.

“A lot of things were altered throughout its life so in some senses

what we’re doing is just restoring the building to what it should have been or what it was when it was built.”

The arched windows and tall ceiling heights in the apartments that will occupy the heritage building will be a drawcard for potential buyers, as will finer touches such as marble throughout the living areas and bathroom, and oak floorboards.

Now the kids have moved out, it’s time to think about a home designed for your new lifestyle needs.

Whether you’re wanting open plan living/dining or a basement garage, a custom built Comdain home gives you modern, low maintenance living, coupled with timeless elegance that’s uniquely yours.

It’s a perfect landing place for Mayfair, the new luxury apartment building designed by the firm of late British architect Dame Zaha Hadid.

The 20-storey, $330 million tower will replace the former Victoria Police headquarters.

Hadid created a signature style of swooping bends and slopes. Mayfair has a sculpted facade that references the Lorenz attractor, resembling a figure eight or butterfly.

In collaboration with Australian architectural firm, Elenberg Fraser, Hadid’s firm has stamped Mayfair with a design theme of gracious sculptural curves inside and out.

The high-end apartments feature a wealth of luxuries including private lift lobbies and garages, his-and-her walk-in wardrobes, marble floors and wine cellars.

aving an open-plan area that’s too large might sound like the same sort of affliction as having a bank balance that has too many zeros. Boo hoo. Poor you.

But there are challenges to working with a large open-plan space, given that space can be your entire living, kitchen and dining area.

If you’re faced with one large rectangle in which to spend most of your time, you’ll need to zone it for purpose and there are several effective ways to do so.

Rugs A well-placed rug is a great way to define a living area.

Make sure your rug is big enough to fit under at least the front legs of all of the chairs, ottomans and sofas – though my rule of thumb is the bigger the better, as long as you still have some visibility of the flooring underneath to connect the space visually to the rest of the room.

Get your space into the zone

This will evoke a feeling of a more appropriately sized space, even if it’s part of a larger one.

If your living area is super-sized, you can add another rug for a separate reading or sitting zone.

A round rug is an appropriate choice for reading or conversation zones and can sit anywhere in a room comfortably, acting as a visual island with its own purpose.

A low-slung pendant over a dining table can focus the splay of light across a smaller area, creating ambience and a more defined space, within a larger one.

An appropriately large-scale pendant light, or collection of lights, will also act as an anchor above a table, allowing the table to visually have a purposeful place.

Lighting

Finding the right-sized furniture is the last key to getting a space to feel as comfortable and liveable as possible. A huge space needs oversized furniture as using regularsized furniture will make the room look uncomfortably huge.

If, on the other hand, you’re at the opposite end of the scale spectrum, trying to make the most of the space that you have, there are a few go-to tricks of the trade to fool the eye into feeling like you’ve got room for days.

Lighting is a great way to zone areas.

A floor lamp is the perfect addition to a reading zone as it anchors the space in a pool of light.

A pendant light can do the same over a dining table, or perimeter lighting along walls or ceilings works well to define an open area.

Lighting can also be used to create the feeling of a more intimate space by bringing the eye-line down, reducing the amount of space that’s visible at one time.

Rugs can help define a zone in an open-plan area.

Mirrors Mirrors are a big game-changer in small spaces and, as with rugs, usually the bigger they are the better the result.

A mirror above a fireplace or hanging as wall art will always open up the room, while a wall of mirror is the most effective way to go.

When using mirrors always think about what is reflected in them. Are you just reflecting something ugly or average (say an airconditioning unit)?

If you’re placing a mirror, place it to best enhanc lost or obscured views, letting in light or doubling up the impact of a beautiful feature such as art, drapery or decoration.

Going up Another big key to making the most of a small space is to lift as many things as possible off the ground.

Cantilevering seating so that there is open space beneath without visible

legs can work a treat to increase the appearance of available floorspace.

Cabinets and joinery also work well when attached to walls rather than sitting on floors.

Be bold with colour Contrary to popular belief, dark colours don’t necessarily make small spaces feel smaller. In fact, a wellchosen dark colour can have the effect of blurring the boundaries of a space and fool the eye into thinking there are no edges or corners.

Storage Making the most of the available space you have comes down to how you use every element within it.

Murphy beds, multipurpose furniture, and clever storage is a great way to make your small space punch above its weight.

House Burch by Those Architects adds a modern extension to a 1980s bungalow.

his white cube-shaped family home may look like a celebration of architectural form, but it is created with function in mind, first and foremost.

The house, in Byron Bay on the north coast of NSW, is designed to respond to the region’s harsh climate.

Forming part of a family home for a couple and their tribe of young children, the cube is an extension to a solid, but uninspiring, suburban bungalow constructed in the 1980s.

Due to the sound construction of the original house and the client’s budgetary considerations, architect Simon Addinall of boutique firm Those Architects decided to retain and add to the existing building.

The bungalow’s brown brick exterior was updated with a white render and the interior was transformed into a space for the children’s bedrooms as well as the residence’s bathrooms, laundry and storage facilities.

The new two-storey extension peeks over the original building’s roofline when viewed from the street, and houses the parents’ bedroom suite on the upper floor with the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area below.

Designed to make the most of the site’s relatively narrow 16 by 40metre layout and east-west orientation, the addition hugs the southern boundary, allowing for a generous north-facing courtyard, with a pool constructed on the western edge so it is sheltered from the late afternoon sun.

Two additional courtyards – one at the back of the house, facing west, another at the front, looking east – ensure the residents have an outdoor space that can be used at any time.

The parents’ bedroom features a bank of casement windows that open to the north-east, capturing the cooling sea breezes in summer.

“Without trying to put other architects down, some may have shifted away from context as opposed to aesthetics. You see that up here, where you have long, hot summers – and most of the houses are all glass,” says Addinall, who co-founded Those Architects with his business partner Ben Mitchell in 2012.

“It makes sense for the houses to respond to that climate, rather than relying on aircon and other mechanical means to moderate the internal temperature.

“It’s a bit of a challenge sometimes to convince a client that you don’t need windows everywhere … designing buildings with more glass isn’t necessarily the smartest thing to be doing.” thosearchitects.com.au

t’s easier to understand Port Melbourne’s journey from working class to upwardly mobile by looking at a map of inner Melbourne.

It’s this bird’s-eye view that shows Port Melbourne as a nub of land that’s the end-point of Port Phillip Bay, cut off from the closeness of the inner-western suburbs only by the curve of the Yarra River.

Geographically aligned with the city’s industrial heartland rather than the moneyed suburbs stretching away along the bay to its south, Port Melbourne spent the first 100 years of its existence as the home of often noisome industry, including bone mills and chemical factories. A “lifestyle opportunity” it was not.

Plenty of immigrants, from hopeful prospectors following the gold rushes to post-war refugees, encountered Port Melbourne as their first taste of Australia.

Bounded by the West Gate Freeway and the river in the west and north, Hobsons Bay to the south, and Pickles and Montague streets to the east, Port Melbourne retains a mix of industry and housing.

Its rows of tightly-packed Victorian terrace houses have morphed into renovated trophy homes for city workers embracing Port Melbourne’s easy light rail commute to the CBD. Other housing stock is testament to “old” Port Melbourne: Garden City was built in the 1930s as a low-cost housing estate for bank workers but is now some of Port Melbourne’s most sought-after real estate.

You don’t have to look at the fancy beachfront high-rises to know the lifestyle has also changed. Bay Street is the lively home of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques, while the patrolled beach and the bicycle and walking track along Beach Street form another much-loved haunt.

Mid morning

My body clock gets me up at around 10, usually. I don’t often have to do anything in the morning, so if I’ve worked late the night before, I can catch up on sleep.

I almost always listen to an album I love to gently wake myself up. I do like to indulge in a long shower, too, and also like to dance myself dry.

Most of my morning routine is about how to wake myself up and

give myself space to re-energise because I had insomnia for many years and would wake up exhausted.

If I have time, I like to make an elaborate breakfast with haloumi, eggs and tomatoes.

Afternoon

The days are usually spent between production meetings, development of projects, photo shoots and going to artist talks and lectures.

I have a chalkboard with a monthly breakdown of all the things I need to do … it also helps ensure I don’t overbook.

For me, part of the fun of photography is the research and conceptualising. I’ll do a lot of thinking as I walk a lot, or reading on public transport.

That said, it’s really romantic to say I’m only going to make work that I want to make. My base is that I have to pay my bills, eat and survive and being creative is me thriving, which is something to work towards.

or artist, photographer and writer Atong Atem, there are three elements to her daily life that help create a semblance of balance: work, socialising and plenty of solitude.

In her distinctive creative work, Atem incorporates portraiture, video, and hand painting with bold colours and patterns inspired by her South Sudanese background.

She received the inaugural National Gallery of Victoria and MECCA M-Power scholarship in 2018 and has a big year ahead preparing for two major solo exhibitions.

While the sheer quantity of work can be daunting, she aims to maintain flexibility in her days.

“As a freelancer, much of your time is compressed by other people’s schedules and you have to put your feelings aside for someone else’s project or vision, but mornings and evenings I can navigate for myself.”

I find working at night less distracting. Also, because I really enjoy my work, it feels like a reward at the end of the day.

When I remember to or when I’m not too exhausted, I’ll do some yoga before bed.

I like to be in bed by 1am, but when I have things due or when I’m stressed I can stay up till 3am. If it is nearing 4am and I can’t will myself to sleep I will listen to podcasts, which for me now feels like the equivalent of having a warm glass of milk.
