INDEX What to see this Weekend p6

Note from the editor

T

he Melbourne market is rising and more buyers are realising that sitting back and waiting won’t serve a purpose, unless they can deal with a stinging sense of FOMO. A strong result in the city’s first Super Saturday for 2020, in the last weekend of February – with the number of properties under the hammer up 64 per cent on the same day last year – ought to have been a red rag to a bull for would-be vendors. List pronto, and watch it go. In this edition, for House of the Week, we venture to Kellett Street in Northcote, skipping past cold-drip espresso bars en route to a bold family home that doesn’t sacrifice cool design for functionality. Then flip to New Living to see inside interior designer Simone Haag’s Melbourne family retreat. Haag embarked on a renovation that might strike fear into the heart of lesser creatives, as the home’s original 1970s guts had remained untouched, probably since Simon and Garfunkel had a number one song. The result is a hit.

The heightened drama of the late 1880s is on display at 92 Page Street in Albert Park, and the contemporary spaces inside are dazzling too, in a thoroughly new-millennium way.

The front formal rooms with their sublime proportions – lofty ceilings, bay windows, crisp white wall tones – allow the era’s elegance to shine. The rear sections where stone, glass and warm timber combine create spaces that are at once smoothly modern as well as eminently usable. A pool, deep garden and separate apartment underline the superb amenity here.

“It’s a landmark property,” agent Warwick Gardiner, of Greg Hocking Holdsworth, says.

“The facade is unlike any other but it’s a working family home, too.”

And what is it about a turret that takes our fancy? It’s an architectural flight of fancy into another time, conjuring fables and folklore and, more prosaically, it’s just a beautiful thing to look at. As far as facades go this place might have you gazing for ages, from the tower with its classic arched windows to the ivy-festooned front.

Half the joy of this single-level family home is on its perimeter. It’s in a boulevard celebrated for its canopy of mature leafy trees and the back gate opens to parkland that’s been a quarry, brickworks and a swimming hole but now is a popular oasis of greenery. The house has solid Californian bungalow warmth with four bedrooms at the front, two living rooms, a covered outdoor entertaining area, tandem carport and solar-heated pool.

Never did “labour of love” better describe a house than this pictureperfect Edwardian. For the two-year project, the vendor combined her civil engineering background and her creative streak to design what the agent says is “one of the best renovated houses in the area”.

The vendor achieved her vision for “sanctuary-like spaces in bedrooms, complemented by grand shared living rooms”, including a family room with six-metre cathedral ceiling. It’s up to the minute, immaculate and in perfect keeping with its classy neighbourhood.

A

s Northcote continues its rise up the popular-property totem pole, places like this are making an appearance on the sought-after streets here.

Its blank facade creates a certain amount of intrigue as to what lies beyond and a neat bit of perforated brickwork leading to the side entry offers an enticing glimpse.

A slate-tiled entry hall is a nice touch, while above, along the eastern edge of the ceiling line, a long skylight brings subtle and light.

A deeply attractive marble-trimmed powder room brings some dark glamour before you get to the openplan rear section.

Set to the rear, the kitchen with its blackwood timber cabinetry and concrete topped island bench is an impressive, smooth space. Behind here you’ll find a butler’s pantry that flows into the roomy laundry.

Off to the side of the kitchen is a study with views to the courtyard.

A paved entertaining area sits to the side and at the rear a pool with pergola looks the goods.

Upstairs three good-sized bedrooms share a sparkling bathroom as well as a fine lounge.

To the southern end the main bedroom is all plush drama with its dark walls and musk-toned fabric bedhead that rises up to conceal a fine walk-in wardrobe behind. There is a private little garden deck and a shimmering, stone-trimmed en suite.

Add to all the airy, flowing style a 6-star energy rating and you’ve got a comprehensive package in a perennial hot spot.

We love a converted factory that shows off rows of industrial windows, exposed beams and face brick but we also love a place with creature comforts – an en suite and hydronic heating, for starters. This three-level abode has all that and more. A huge north-facing courtyard has potentialplus, and first-floor living areas draw natural light from the balcony and double-height ceilings. “It’s private and unassuming, being at the back of the block, yet it’s right among the action,” the agent says. “There’s scope to do things, perhaps a pool.”

Concierge has all the answers

E

veryone has a personal to-do list – walking the dog, getting the car serviced, repairing the leaking tap in the en suite.

Sometimes that list seems never ending and the sheer time and energy required to get on top of each task can feel daunting.

A new service promises to take the pain out of organising everything from everyday tasks to home renovations with the Kay & Burton Concierge providing referrals for a suite of services at no additional fee.

Thanks to a wide network of tradespeople and professionals, who have all been vetted by Kay & Burton, the concierge can assist with a variety of referrals.

This network includes electricians, plumbers, builders, painters, locksmiths, cleaners, gardeners and utilities connection services. There are also professionals to help with more specific tasks including wine consultants, home stylists and art experts.

This long list also extends to finance and insurance providers.

Since launching in the Melbourne metro area last September and on the Mornington Peninsula last November, concierge senior manager Kate Emerson said the service had experienced a healthy uptake.

“We’re seeing a good steady growth since we opened,” she says. “People like the fact they get to speak to someone and they are not doing all that Googling to fix their oldfashioned windows in their Victorian home, instead finding someone who knows what to do, rather than just a handyman.

“We work out the most appropriate preferred supplier, so it’s better than obtaining multiple quotes and you get a preferred person who would like to take on the job.”

Concierge services are popular overseas, particularly in the UK and US. But it’s just not for the wealthy – concierges are used by time-poor parents, busy retirees and those

who would simply prefer to spend their downtime relaxing instead of chasing tradespeople.

It doesn’t cost anything to use the Kay & Burton Concierge and users don’t have to be current or former Kay & Burton clients as the service is available to the general public.

“Under that same umbrella we also assist in the process of decluttering and helping people preparing to downsize.”

Kay & Burton’s Concierge has an array of reliable tradespeople and professionals at its disposal. Many have long and trusted relationships

“People like the fact they get to speak to someone and they are not doing all that Googling ...”

So far, it has proved to be handy for those needing general repairs and people who are in the process of moving from one property to another.

“Removal and storage is a popular request and this is usually for people in the midst of a house sale,” Emerson says.

“We’re also there for them during the move and, once they are in the new house, we often provide referrals to styling services as well.

built through years of service with Kay & Burton.

Not only are they trusted and skilled, but the concierge’s preferred partners have also been screened for police checks, qualifications and upto-date insurance coverage.

“We’ve got all of these valued suppliers and contacts, so why not open them up to not only our own client base, but beyond that as well?”

Emerson says.

lot can happen to us in a decade. Big life events. Bad haircuts. New jobs. Finally mastering how to reverse parallel park in one attempt. We enter the decade as one person and exit it (hopefully) a better person from everything we learnt in-between.

For interior designer Simone Haag and her husband Rhys, they started the past decade living in a small apartment in Melbourne’s inner south but ended the decade in a midcentury modern gem in the leafy eastern suburbs.

As newlyweds who planned to eventually have a family, they knew the next decade would bring with it incredible change, a few (or more) dirty nappies, and hopefully a new home where life would unfold.

“Our intention was to find a midcentury modern home and for us the suburb wasn’t the main drawcard, it was the building itself,” Haag says.

“You live inside and the house and the environment you create is what you need to enjoy before you enjoy the coffee shop down the road.”

After much searching, the pair found what they were looking for: a 1970s, petite, threebedroom property.

“It’d been on the market for so long that I think everyone wondered what’s wrong with it but we were seduced by the elevation, the driveway up to the house, and view to the Dandenongs,” Haag says, who ended up purchasing the property with Rhys in 2011.

The home’s elevation and views were big drawcards.

Twice as nice

Enclosing the little-used balcony added more space for the family.

“It’d been on the market for so long that I think everyone wondered what’s wrong with it.”

However, the couple were less seduced by the interiors that had remained untouched since the 1970s.

Think brown, brown and more brown. “The house had one owner before us and had been a rental for decades. It wasn’t looking pretty but the floor plan had such a good flow that we knew with a lick of paint and new flooring we could fix it up,” Haag says.

This optimism doesn’t come naturally to everyone, but Haag thought she and Rhys could give it a crack.

The couple made cosmetic changes to the house prior to moving in over a three-month period in 2011. They retained the original floor plan, facade and a fireplace but the rest of the interiors were completely overhauled with a new kitchen, flooring, joinery, paint job and wood panelled walls in a white-on-white Scandinavian palette. After moving in, they tackled the garden.

The couple managed the renovation by divvying up roles between themselves that complemented their strengths. “Rhys is the director of landscaping, construction and engineering in our relationship and my realm is anything interiors and decorative,” Haag says. “It’s a really nice, clear distinction we’ve used as we’ve layered and made changes to the house over nine years.”

The renovation was a success and the pair settled into their houseturned-home. Usually this would be the end of the story, but ...

A few years in, the couple were living in their home with two young daughters and a third on the way and started thinking about their future, and specifically how their family would continue to live in the space.

“It is cute now when the girls are little but when they’re teenagers it’s going to be a disaster,” Haag says.

The obvious choice was to sell and buy something larger but the family weren’t ready to let go. “Me and Rhys had really poured our hearts into this place and made so many memories with the kids here.”

After much deliberation, it was an offhand suggestion by Rhys that offered a solution: they could push out the landing, encase the balcony, and stay put.

“We had this balcony that hung over a very steep driveway that we never used because it was dangerous for our young kids,” Haag says.

Renovation 2.0 was a different experience to its predecessor – the couple were no longer newlyweds, they were parents of toddlers.

While they were predominantly responsible for designing the interiors and for selecting the fittings, finishes and furniture themselves, they maintain it was a team effort and “the knowledge of collaborators and friends was warmly welcomed”.

The pair engaged with Kennedy Nolan architecture on the floor plans, renders and design of the

renovation, who also suggested swapping the main bedroom for one of the smaller bedrooms at the rear of the property and extending it to also include an en suite and balcony, which wrapped around the dining area and offered a garden entry.

Once the renders and floor plans were sorted, the couple worked collaboratively with Design Orr Build to get the job done.

“Having a builder with a design eye and that we could trust was important, because we knew there was going to be a lot of conversation on site, sketches on the backs of envelopes and FaceTime calls.”

S R & O were enlisted to help with custom joinery to maximise the use of space in the unified dining and living area.

Haag was keen for the second renovation to feel distinct from the first and moved toward a moodier, darker palette. She repurposed much of the existing furniture but did add a few new standout pieces including the Soriano sofa in the living room.

“The good thing about staying put and not buying or selling is the money [that] we saved on stamp duty, we were able to put towards the renovation and add a few new loved pieces to our house.”

The result is a fully accomplished, warm and layered family home.

“We plan to be here a while,” Haag says.

t’s already one of Melbourne’s hippest locales, and soon Collingwood will up the cool factor once more, welcoming a New York-inspired apartment and hotel complex.

The Atelier Residences and the Veriu Collingwood are set to revitalise Johnston Street next year.

Inspired by the famous Crosby Street Hotel, in New York’s arty and industrial Soho precinct, Atelier will make brick and glass the heroes of its design.

The nine-storey development will replace a string of shops and will sit behind a preserved art deco facade.

The site’s history dates to 1850 when one of the shops was used as a blacksmith and another as the Courthouse Hotel. In 1912 it became home to Gregory Steel Products and the facade was remodelled by architect Percy Everett in 1938.

In a nod to the site’s industrial past, Atelier will feature steel-framed windows, timber and stone. These materials, along with polished concrete, will also take centre stage in the apartment interiors.

A connected place to call home

Atelier in Collingwood will offer residents an array of facilities.

E

Buyers can choose from a dark or light colour scheme, and can look forward to stone benchtops and, in the larger homes, stand-alone baths.

Atelier will also offer two hospitality venues on the ground floor as well as a private club on level six featuring a rooftop bar, lap pool, garden terraces, a sunroom, firepit, garden spa, private bookable retreats, a sunset cinema and sunken relaxation spaces.

There’s also a gym, co-working-style meeting rooms and business facilities.

Developer Tim Gurner has somewhat of a penchant for Collingwood, which he says has many parallels to New York.

“I have been to New York many times and every visit I am reminded more and more of Collingwood,” Gurner says.

“Collingwood is an incredibly important and historic part of Melbourne: its Foy & Gibson facades and architecture are relics of Melbourne’s industrial past. It was this very same history that forged New York’s Meat Packing District – there are similarities not just in the red brick facades and ornate concrete detailing, but the history of the areas and their origins in manufacturing.”

Residents will also have access to the 4.5 star Veriu Collingwood, Gurner’s first foray into boutique, luxury hotels.

“We want to bring the best of hotel living to a residential scale by offering luxury hotel services to the owners of our residences in what will be a first for the Collingwood area – so residents will be able to order oncall housekeeping, concierge or turn-down services as part of their daily life,” he says.

The development, 10 kilometres from the city, will have the newly redeveloped Gardiner station at its doorstep. A public plaza will connect the apartments to the station and retail spaces on the ground floor.

With prices for two-bedroom apartments starting at $545,000, Glenarm Square is also an attractive purchase for first home-buyers.

A: There are three equally good approaches to consider.

Embracing Besser brick is easier at the moment than ever before as you can go with the industrial look and layer in touches of black metal, concrete and metallics such as brass or anthracite.

You can also embrace Besser as part of a more bohemian look that can be made from elements such as terracotta tiles, terrazzo, coral, grey and white with additions of rattan and oak. This whole palette is on

trend and would be a good balance to the harder look of the concrete block.

You should take the same approach to covering Besser brick as you do any other type of internal brick. You can either direct stick plasterboard if you want a quick and easy, but less professional approach, or use battens or framework in front of the wall to attach anything from plasterboard, laminate, veneered panels or VJ to give you visual interest.

Lastly, treating Besser brick walls can be beautifully done by the application of specialty finishes such as venetian plaster – you’d be advised to hire a professional if you want the best results. Corlina from Luxury Wall Finishes advises that their process to apply over Besser brick is to prime and render the block, add another coat of prime and then apply the venetian plaster before applying the final sealing process. It’s a hugely luxurious finish but does come at a considerable labour cost.

DARREN’S TOP TIP

ISTOCK

Q: How do we embrace, disguise or treat Besser block internal walls?

A change in seasons means a change in feeling, not just physically, but the mood of your home to suit the changing conditions outside. Transitioning your home from summer to autumn means switching out or layering over heavier textiles, things that feel softer and protect your windows from the cold.

The placement of fireplaces can prove challenging when designing a space.

between the coffee table and the sofas on either side in a very symmetrical approach.

The middle and trickier room needed a more asymmetrical and unconventional approach to allow for TV viewing if desired, so I created a walkway behind the back of the chaise section of an L-shaped modular sofa. The modules allowed the sofa to be configured in several ways, not locked into a left or right L-shape.

Allowing 400 to 500 millimetres as a walkway is just enough space if you need to squeeze a lot in.

Remember, too, that sofas can have shallow/normal depths and extra/ deep depths.

For narrow rooms, choose a normal depth and allow the right walkways – from 700 to 1100 millimetres.

A: That’s an interesting challenge, and one that I actually faced in my own last home renovation.

My solution was to have a television on an appropriate wall where I could face a sofa toward it, but only set up one of the rooms for TV viewing, the other was set up for conversation.

The room closest to the street had a sofa pushed back against each side wall, providing a walkway

FELIX FOREST

Q: We’re having trouble with furniture layout in two rooms in a 1910 house where the fireplaces are in the corners of the rooms backing onto each other. The rooms are also open to each other.

Trying to work out what type of furniture to use and where to place each piece to make the rooms cosy and semi-formal is proving impossible. Any advice would be welcome.

he garage says it all. It’s not a garage to remember, with its nondescript orange bricks and a roller door that’s a bit worse for wear.

And at just 46 square metres you might choose not to swing the cat.

But the Albert Park location accounts for the scorching $645,500 price tag at its recent auction.

Such is the demand for Albert Park, Melbourne’s rarefied slice of bayside aspiration, that the rear garage of 32 Little Graham Street drew the interest of eager prospective buyers

keen to exploit its potential to build their dream townhouse on this modest footprint.

It’s the tradesman’s entrance to a suburb where the median house price is just shy of $2 million and where typical housing stock is certainly not a square box with a concrete floor. A walk along Albert Park’s broad treelined streets reveals a plenty of Victorian and Edwardian homes, featuring plenty of substantial standalone beauties as well as renovated former workers’ cottages.

Wedged between traditionally more working-class Port Melbourne and traditionally quieter Middle Park, the suburb bulges out to the east to claim the 2.25 square kilometres of Albert Park Lake and its surrounding parkland that includes the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre and the highfalutin Cantonese restaurant Sun Kitchen.

At the shopping and lifestylecentric village based around Bridport Street and Victoria Avenue, you can grab a flat white, bag the latest

release books from the Avenue Bookstore and spend big on fashion accessories. Albert Park College, opened by the government in 2011, is in hot demand, while Gasworks Arts Park takes care of stage shows and a farmers’ market within one neat four-hectare package.

If you really want to dream big, head to St Vincent Place, it’s home to a collection of ornate double-storey 1860s and 1870s terraces. You’ll have to shell out millions for the humblest of them.

It’s so easy being green “I

think I can win more people to vegetables,” London-based chef Yotam Ottolenghi declared in 2011. It was just after the release of Plenty, his first vegetarian cookbook, which the New York Times once described as “among the most generous and luxurious nonmeat cookbooks ever produced’’.

Several books and nearly a decade later, Ottolenghi has achieved his goal. Cooks around the world swear by his recipes, and he has become one of the world’s top-selling nonfiction authors.

Ottolenghi has also inspired other chefs, many of whom have taken on-board the green message while preparing their new cookbooks.

Plant Power

Week Light

By Annie Bell (Octopus Publishing, $35)

By Donna Hay (Harper Collins, $45)

British nutritionist and food writer Annie Bell’s new book focuses on how to replace red meat’s high-quality proteins, iron and vitamin B12 in a diet that is plant-based.

Look beyond “the bean-feasts and nut-roasts of old”, she urges. Bell’s book includes important nutrient information and great recipes, from breakfast to baking and soups.

Sadly, Donna Hay no longer produces her fabulous food magazine. Her cookbooks, however, continue to sell well and reflect Hay’s openness to new ideas and her ongoing commitment to exceptional food styling. This, her most recent book, was published last September and has remained a permanent fixture in the kitchen over summer.

“Ottolenghi has also inspired other chefs, many of whom have taken on-board the green message while preparing their new cookbooks.”

Our faves: roast veg with sumac and dukkah, and charred cos with chilli and macadamias.

“A delicious and much-needed nudge towards a healthier and more sustainable kitchen,’’ River Cottage’s Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall says of Melissa Hemsley’s new book. This fabulous collection of flexitarian recipes, all of which can be prepared within 30 minutes, include a very handy “One Pot and One Tray” chapter, plus extensive dips and sauces.

US chef Isa Chandra Moskowitz nails the brief with this accessible guide to vegan cooking. She takes readers through the various steps required to preparing the pantry and the kitchen space, and holds our hands as we explore the delicious recipes she has nurtured in her restaurant kitchen.
