Stitching up the deal Collette Dinnigan made her name as an international fashion designer but her property moves are equally impressive.

C

ollette Dinnigan has built a property empire in recent years buying and renovating luxury city boltholes and weekenders, so it is perhaps unsurprising that the acclaimed fashion designer almost doubled her money on her first home purchase bought as a 29-year-old for $315,000.

The two-bedroom cottage on a lane in Sydney’s Surry Hills was owned by graphic design pioneer Harry Williamson and his wife Terry. It was 1995, but still Williamson remembers the purchase because, as he recalls, Dinnigan was sick on auction day but still showed off the tenacity with which she has become renowned by turning up to bid anyway.

Dinnigan later pocketed $620,000 in 2000 from the Gunthorp family.

In 1998, the success of her ready-to-wear label had prompted her to buy her Paddington shop

for $625,000 and a few months later a warehouse in Surry Hills for $1.225 million.

Her home real estate took a big step up in 2002 when she and then partner, showbiz reporter Richard Wilkins, bought a Paddington mansion from publisher Deke Miskin for $4.1 million, setting a suburb high. But the post-global financial crisis property market wasn’t kind to the value of Dinnigan’s

Paddington property. After listing it in 2009 for $10 million she sold it in 2011 for $7.3 million, just a few months before she wed Bradley Cocks.

The couple moved to a sandstone residence on nearby Paddington Street she bought in 2009 for $4.45 million from the Paspaley pearling family, and owned until 2015 when it was sold for $6.5 million.

Since then, Dinnigan has shut her fashion house and turned to property investment, buying and selling more than $50 million worth of real estate, including offloading that Surry Hills warehouse for $6 million in March and her former shopfront last year for $1.6 million.

One of her biggest property success stories was the former Masonic Temple in Watsons Bay she bought in 2015 for $6.25 million from James Packer’s former sidekick Matthew “Ched” Csidei.

Renovated with the help of her brother Seamus Dinnigan, she sold it 18 months later for $9 million. In 2016, she bought Springfield Farm in the Southern Highlands for $4.5 million and sold it two years later for $7.25 million.

While Dinnigan and Cocks still own their centuries-old farmhouse in Italy, and half of the Milton acreage she bought in 2006, another Southern Highlands residence was added to the portfolio last year for $3.5 million.

Alteration and addition? More a transformation

S

ome architecture practices are just reliably good; they seem to create a little bit of magic in everything they do.

In the age when magazines, the internet and social media are flooded with design outcomes moving into a unified, homogenised aesthetic, it is rare to come across a project that makes me look twice, or 54 times for that matter.

It is a project layered with richness, soul and inimitable personality, that offers a new take on residential architecture and stands for something, while maintaining a broad appeal.

This, my friends, is a testament to the talent of Kennedy Nolan, the Melbourne-based architecture practice that’s celebrating 20 incredible years in business.

Their Caroline House is an alteration and addition to a weatherboard Edwardian house in inner Melbourne, which recently picked up a bunch of accolades, like the Victorian Architecture Awards’ top gong for Residential Architecture.

While most alteration and addition projects are plagued with a bunch of existing limitations that can get in the way of big-picture creative thinking, this was clearly not the case here.

The rear of the early-1900s south-facing house had a generous garden. “We restored and reimagined the existing house and added a pavilion that is separated from the original building by an internal courtyard containing a swimming pool,” says Kennedy Nolan founding director Patrick Kennedy.

A sense of formality and whimsy permeate the entire project, described by the architects as an “eccentric formal quality” that offers a balanced relationship between garden and interior space, further heightened through a sophisticated attitude to texture, colour and pattern.

The client was after an expressive, engaging and memorable family home, with the most fundamental element of their brief being the swimming pool.

PR E ST IGE

DEREK SWALWELL

“The challenge of integrating swimming pools into domestic environments increases every year with new regulations,” says Kennedy, who cleverly designed a central pool and added a gate to the facade of the building.

“The pool deliberately challenges regular notions – it is round, it is compact, it is deep, it is dark.” It is imagined for year-round use, with reflections animating the facade in winter.

Despite the expressive design approach, functional aspects were not compromised by the playful forms. The courtyard fulfils the conventional requirements of passive solar design, with the pool augmenting its function by providing cooling effects in summer.

“The principal curved wall allows for a layered and nuanced interior and a dramatic and compelling exterior space,” says Kennedy.

An expert, cohesive approach to the interiors links the rooms of the existing house to those in the new extension, creating a seamless narrative with plenty of moments of delight and discovery within a singular aesthetic.

“The pool deliberately challenges regular notions – it is round, it is compact, it is deep, it is dark.”
