f all the waves of immigration that have O shaped our most multicultural of cities, none has permeated Melbourne’s DNA quite

like the Italians. When you think about the things we love about our city: moody wood-panelled bars, gelati on a balmy night, excellent cafe lattes on just about every street corner, thin-crust pizzas, sitting at the bar at Pellegrini’s with a bowl of spag bol – so many of them we owe to the Italians.

The first wave of Italians arrived here postwar, colonising Carlton and enthralling the locals with cheap and cheerful pasta joints and exotic delis. Seven decades later the Italians are still coming and still showing us a thing or two about living la dolce vita.

One of this new crop is the delightful Silvia Colloca, aka Mrs Richard Roxburgh, who moved to Australia for love and is now charming us with her new food show on ABC TV and a new cookbook.

Read her story inside and enjoy this week’s special edition celebrating our enduring love affair with all things Italian. ●

PETER WILMOTH meets the multi-talented silvia colloca

S

ilvia Colloca met her husband, Australian actor Richard Roxburgh, while making a film that probably doesn’t sit atop their respective acting CVs. The 2004 film was called Van Helsing. Roxburgh played Dracula and Silvia Helsing played one of his three brides.

“Oh, hilarious,” she says. “The film was such a fun time for all of us. We worked together for six or seven months and we all got along so famously.

“We were having the time of our lives and on top of that we fell in love. When we think of it as a career move we think, ‘Oh well, it’s OK, leave it or take it, doesn’t matter’ but without it we wouldn’t have this family.

The director made an appearance in our wedding speech.”

We’re in a Sydney cafe and Silvia, 40, is as vivacious and warm as she is in her new ABC television series Silvia’s Italian Table in which she cooks with, and shares stories with, three celebrities each week.

She has an accent that is perhaps more Australian than you might expect (even though she’s been living here for eight years) and, with her striking Italian looks mixed with a healthy serve of Aussie self-effacement, Silvia has become Australian television’s newest food superstar.

Right now she’s everywhere. Coinciding with the TV show is the release of her new cookbook La Dolce Vita, written to celebrate the Italian way of eating. “I am constantly asked by friends, ‘How can you eat Italian food and not be fat or unhealthy?’ There’s this misconception that Italian food is not good for you … and I say, ‘Guys, you’ve got the wrong picture, I’ve got to help you out here’.”

I ask Silvia to explain Australians’ love of the idea of Italy. “I think it’s easy to romanticise because Italy is geographically blessed,” she says. “You venture around those hills and villages, and you’re confronted with incredible history … People are fascinated by a church that’s been there [hundreds] of years, frescoes that have been kept beautiful for time immemorial, and the vibrant artistic culture that produced such masterpieces.”

Growing up in Milan, food was a central part of family life. Silvia’s parents were determined to raise their children with a discerning palate.

“Everything happens around the kitchen,” Silvia says of her upbringing. “I was always sitting down with mum watching her cook, or with nonna. My brother became a chef.

So obviously there’s something that runs in the family.

“We’ve all been exposed to a really unassuming and authentic love of food where the love is giving nourishment and it’s nothing to do with the chef’s ego, which is something I struggle with when I go into restaurants and I see a lot of effort put into the food. It feels to me that sometimes that’s taken

PICTURE \ STEVEN SIEWERT It was tough leaving her career in Italy in opera, musical theatre and TV. “When I moved back here permanently in 2009 … I was a bit worried about my own fulfilment,” Silvia says.

“I had a good career in Europe. Here I had to start from zero. It wasn’t very easy. I had to get an agent, I had to get people to meet me, to know I was here, because they didn’t really know my work.

“What you’ve done internationally doesn’t quite translate until you’ve done Packed to the Rafters, which I did, because my agent said, ‘I think you need to do things like that because you’ll connect with people’.”

Silvia has been described as Australia’s answer to Nigella Lawson. She laughs at the temptation people have to make comparisons.

“Oh they love doing that, don’t they? It’s great, obviously she’s fabulous. People need to put you in a box. With me they’re already very confused because there’s the cooking thing and the acting and the singing and they’re like, ‘What are you?’ And I say, ‘Sorry that’s your problem, I’m all three and I’m a mother’.

“People are very confused because there's the cooking thing & the acting & the singing … I say, I'm all three & I'm a mother" start a food blog. “My Mum said, ‘Do a food blog, everybody’s got blogs’.

Her blog, Silvia’s Cucina, took off in a way she couldn’t have anticipated. “I started having these conversations with people I’d never met who I was so in tune with. We were so like-minded. They started asking for recipes or suggesting recipes. I realised there was a conversation I could have about food with people who were interested in simple Italian home cooking.

“We know restaurant Italian food … but there’s also Italian home-cooking. It’s a lot healthier and a lot more varied and it’s exciting for that reason. And very frugal as well. If you’re on a budget it’s a great cuisine.”

She pitched a TV show. “I thought, ‘There is no way in the world that this will go through, it’s too good’ … It was an instant ‘yes’.

“Australians responded so well to the show because it’s a country of immigrants, whether they’re Italian or Lebanese or wherever. No matter what part of the world they come from they can relate to my story as an immigrant.” » La Dolce Vita by Silvia Colloca (Penguin Random House) $49.99 » Silvia’s Italian Table, ABC1, Thursdays at 8pm.

“I suppose the parallel with Nigella is that we’re both good writers and we both do TV shows and we have dark hair.

“Having said that, she’s going a lot more Italian in the cooking. I really enjoy her work.

Look, I think a lot of us now have a career in food because of her. She started making it accessible to people.”

Silvia says she and Richard take turns minding the children, Raffy, 9 and Miro, six. “Sometimes there are clashes,” she says.

“A couple of years ago I was doing a play in Melbourne for a few months. Raffy had just started kindy and Miro was still a baby, 18 months, so we decided Raffy should stay in Sydney [with Richard] so he could go to school and I took the baby to Melbourne because he had to be with his mother.

“They’d come and visit. It was a bit strange to have the family like that. But, as much as I missed Raffy and Richard, it was a nice opportunity for me and Miro to have that time alone – he really appreciated that I think. And for Raffy and Richard to have adventures, big boy time.”

S

ilvia says she juggles the singing and the cooking and the kids “because I have a whole lot of energy and I just have to make it work”.

She says she's a better person when she can do it all. A couple of years ago she took a break from theatre work. "I’ve got an itch for it now. I kind of have to. If I don’t I get a bit anxious. I think I’m a better friend, a better wife, a better mother and a better daughter if I fulfil all my creative outlets.”

She has recently returned from a seven-week stint in an opera in Brisbane.

“So the last two months have been about

(COLE BENNETTS)

so far that it’s just to please the chef [so he/ she can hear] ‘Oh that looks amazing’. It’s not appealing to my other senses apart from vision – yes, it looks great, but that’s pretty much it.

“I’m not a chef and everybody knows that … I never went to chef school, I’m just Italian and I have a story to tell, so my recipes often are a way to offer a deeper exploration about what it is to be Italian and eat like an Italian.”

In Milan Silvia studied teaching, music and acting and she is grateful for the opportunities the city afforded her. “It was only since meeting my Australian husband that going back to Milan and taking trips I was appreciating the landscape. Yeah – Lake Como. It’s nice. I see what the fuss is about.”

She lived in Milan until she was 28 and then moved with Richard to London for a few years. Their son Raphael was born in Australia because Richard was directing Romulus My Father (starring Eric Bana) in country Victoria that year. They moved to Australia permanently in 2009.

When Raphael was a baby Silvia decided to

opera and performing. Now I’m putting my writer’s hat back on and writing another book. I have deadlines and the show’s coming out and the [new] book’s coming out. It all comes from the same creative spark.”

I ask whether it is any easier that she and Richard are both in the creative industries.

“I see a lot of my friends and colleagues who are married to people in completely different areas and businesses and they struggle to find that kind of support.

“If you have to disappear for three days you just have to. They say that filming will end at 7.30 and it ends at 10.30 at night. That’s fine.

Or you have to kiss someone. That’s fine. The fact we’re in the same boat allows us to receive that support, and that understanding.

“It’s all up in the air. We never plan because everything changes. We understand each other. It’s a job that can give you so much but can take away so much as well, because there are no sick days, there’s no time off when you’re doing it. You get a lot of time off when you’re unemployed.

“You have to keep these things in mind when you’re a family – are we going to make it this year? And how much do we want to work so we can have a good life without sacrificing too much time with the kids?”

Silvia’s life has changed so much in three years. “I couldn’t anticipate that things would escalate in the way they did,” she says. “It’s been joyous. It’s not a career I thought I’d ever have. There are better cooks and there are better writers, to be honest. For some reason people seem to be interested in my story.

“It’s been my lottery ticket to be able to tell my story in a way that had engaged people in such a profound way.” ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au OCTOBER 19, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 7

PA O L A B A C C H I A \ I T A L O P H I L E

What’s the buzz?

Street food is so hot right now and cucina Italiano will always be di moda, so combining the two is sure to make a splash. Following a string of sold-out cooking workshops in Melbourne and at the Anna Tasca Lanza Cooking School in Sicily, Paola’s first book, Italian Street Food, hits bookshops this month.

In the beginning …

Paola describes her upbringing, which involved lots of time in mamma’s kitchen, as the best kind of apprenticeship. While her migrant parents instilled in her a passion for food and cooking, they also insisted she follow an academic path, so she studied dentistry.

The big break …

After withdrawing from MasterChef Australia in 2012 (when her father was admitted into palliative care), Paola realised what she wanted to do. Inspired by Venetian cooking teacher Enrica Rocca, she started a food blog called

Italy on my Mind, featuring recipes, photos and memories of family meals. It quickly gained traction and was shortlisted for Best Food Blog

by ITALY magazine within a year. Invitations to teach and write followed.

Where to now?

Paola divides her time between her home in Fitzroy North and her favourite parts of Italy, such as Friuli-Venezia Giulia in the north-east.

“This region and its food is less well-known than other parts – I would like to bring this food to the world and become an ambassador”.

The best part about success?

Paola’s father died just before she embarked on fulfilling her food dream but he is always on her mind. “I think about how proud he would be, having fled Italy after the war, starting again in a new country, to see his daughter bringing his culture to the world. He’d probably also wonder why he bothered spending all that money putting me through dentistry!” ● ALICE ZASLAVSKY aliceinframes@theweeklyreview.com.au

Ask the wine guy the party season, is prosecco a Q For suitable substitute for champagne?

It makes a great substitute – and A one that’s easier on the budget, too.

Prosecco’s a fairly neutral-flavoured grape that’s at its floral best when fresh.

To capture the purity of its pear, citrus and blossom flavours, most prosecco is made like a still wine before being gassed up in a similar way to a Sodastream. It’s a much simpler – and cheaper – process than champagne, which is reflected in the price. But beware, there are cheap Italian examples that are sweet and one-dimensional (you can add peach puree to these for a delicious Bellini). ● GOT A QUESTION EMAIL \

This can be hard to track down – I’ve had it at Dal Zotto’s cellar door and at Marion in Fitzroy – but it’s worth the search. Cloudy and unfined, col fondo is the equivalent to Coopers beer in the prosecco world. It’s full of fresh green apples, biscuit dough, spice and complexity. This is creamy and energetic, with minerality, lemon and a delightful grip. ●

Here’s a prosecco with a little more complexity than most. Pear, peach and lemon aromas have a moreish zesty note. Its gentle mousse leads to ripe stonefruit and citrus flavours that are given life by a line of energetic, refreshing mineral-laced acidity. ● Enjoy with \ Sushi

TONNO, PIPIRUNI & SALADS

THE VIBE \ Owner Anthony John Lo Piccolo has created a venue as welcoming as his nonna’s kitchen and pappa’s bar.

THIS WEEK I’M …

THE DECOR \ A fusion of chic and traditional Italian, with a huge table, crimson velvet chairs and faux leather bench seats.

(CARMEN ZAMMIT)

THE CROWD \ Mostly local, but not for long. It’s attracting fans who believe in Anthony’s philosophy that food and wine bring people together.

THE FOOD \ Many dishes are shared, such as the giardiniera or pickled vegetables with cured meats, cheeses and olives. The pasta is unique, including the hand-made tortelonni, and substantial mains include slow-braised lamb shoulder pappardelle and chargrilled quail.

BAR IDDA \ BRUNSWICK EAST

THE DRINK K \ A huge range of beer, cider, wine and shared cocktails such as the grappa-based “Capri iced tea” served in a glass teapot.

HOMESTYLE PRESERVES

SEARCHING FOR \ Melbourne’s best TIRAMISU. Finding the perfect proportion of mascarpone to cream to coffee-soaked biscuits is no mere trifle. I’ll almost always order it if the rest of the meal’s been great, but am still yet to find one that lives up to the greatest of espresstations. ● READING \ \ Belinda Jeffery’s latest, THE SALAD BOOK K (Penguin) is unsurprisingly full of delicious Mediterranean flavour combinations.

I love Belinda’s easy, conversational tone – she makes everything seem so simple and achievable. ● HOSTING \ \ The Prahran Market SAY CHEESE FESTIVAL V on Saturday, VAL October 22, will bring together some of the city’s most celebrated foodie types, such as Tobie Puttock, Dani Valent, Anthony Femia, Paul Wilson and Giorgio Linguanti in a festivale de formaggio. ●

SICILIAN FLOURISH

ESPOSITO LOVES …

BRUNCH \ THE GRAIN STORE is great – it’s walking distance from home and has a really interesting menu with lots of stuff I love. And the service is great too.

right in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. It’s a comfortable dining room and the service there is always attentive.

A DATE \ EAU DE VIE Another one of those hidden bars down an alley, I just love it! They have excellent cocktails, and the Espresso Zabaglione is a standout.

TO SEE & BE SEEN \ CODA BAR & RESTAURANT I love the food, and I love Adam D’Sylva! The food is really tasty, with shared plates and a groovy basement dining space. The wine list is always a pleasure to explore.

A QUIET DINNER \ KENZAN JAPANESE RESTAURANT is a real Japanese institution with sensational sushi

A FANCY DINNER \ IL BACARO An Italian institution, like Cecconi’s. I think it’s one of the best Italian

places in Melbourne; excellent service, great food, what more do you want?

A BIG GROUP \ LONGRAIN RESTAURANT Perfect for big dinners, great cocktails, love the flavours, it’s a well-oiled machine. It also serves my favourite pad thai in town. ●

(SUE HEWITT)

A food and cultural experience to be enjoyed. ● SUE HEWITT

o matter the language, countries and cities are often referred to in the feminine; the mother country, your mother tongue.

It makes sense then, that Bar Idda – “Her Bar” – should be such a homage to Sicily and all that she has given Italian cuisine.

Upstairs, surrounded by glowing light and wood panelling, our lace tablecloth is swiftly hidden under a plethora of plates. Sicilian food was “designed to share” before it was cool.

Dictated by a bountiful coastline and rocky terrain, the cuisine is seafood-heavy and made for warmer weather. Deep-fried school prawns are sprinkled with pistachio (Sicily’s nut of choice), chargrilled tuna steak “u fucularu” is served with a grape-laden broth, accenting the fish’s meatiness.

We eat the ricotta gnochetti in silence (it’s that good); creamy, al dente, with shaved sprouts, broccoli and chilli. Luckily it comes with a spoon, because I’m about ready to lick the bowl.

Sicily isn’t huge on meat, so there are plenty of veggies on the menu and it’s all so fresh and light you’ll want one of everything – from the eggplanty capunata to the lemony finocchio (fennel).

Leave some space, take the cannolo. ● aliceinframes@theweeklyreview.com.au

EATING \ BURRATA may look like an innocent mozzarella ball, but cut into it and you’ll be rewarded with oozy stracciatella – a mixture of cheesy strips and fresh cream. Traditionally eaten within 24 hours, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, I add rocket and crostini for a substantial share plate. ●

“i don’t want to buy a 12-year-old’s album, so why would anyone else?”

an album, Bonnie is instead making her theatrical debut alongside Mark Dickinson in the revival of 1970s musical Godspell Godspell.

“I’m always trying to do different things,” Bonnie says. “I thought I’d give it a shot. It’s a pretty wild experience learning the script.

I’ve done a bit of acting before, but doing it for a stage musical is a whole other thing.”

Drawing on the New Testament, Godspell was a big hit in Melbourne 40 years ago in a production starring Colleen Hewett (who also appears in the new version).

Bonnie’s approach to preparing for her first stage role has been thoroughly 21st-century, however.

“All I could do at the start was look up as much as I could on YouTube. It’s cool looking at how the songs have changed and evolved.”

She isn’t worried that the Bible connection might put some people off. “It’s rock, you know. It’s going to be fun. It’s not so innocent and it’s not throwing religion in your face. The show is cheeky, innocent and playful.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au

+ ONLINE \ Watch the trailer GLEN HANSARD The name might not be familiar, MUSIC but the voice should be. Irish singer Glen Hansard first rose to fame as one of the band in The Commitments and went on to build a career as frontman for indie group The Frames. His breakthrough moment was as a broken-hearted singer-songwriter in hit film Once, which scooped him an Academy Award for Best Original Song. He’s touring his second solo LP of soulful, folky rock with a nine-piece band.

Set in the 1960s, when a separatist group was trying to overthrow the government, 887 makes striking use of film, projected images, puppetry and miniature models.

It’s the director-performer’s first time on a Melbourne stage.

CAFE SOCIETY Woody Allen’s latest sees him FILM back on familiar turf. Set in Jazz Age Hollywood (and loaded with all the romance and nostalgia that suggests), it looks set to be a companion piece to his much-feted Midnight In Paris.

Jesse Eisenberg is the latest actor to follow in a long tradition of channelling the director’s peculiar comic tics. He plays Bobby, son of a Bronx jeweller, who goes to Hollywood in search of stardom and instead falls for glamorous secretary Vonnie (Kristen Stewart).

TO NY SICILIA NO

GIVE IT A GO SUE HEWITT FINDS TUSCANY IN KEILOR EAST

The promise The multi-award-winning wines and olive oils made by the Siciliano family promise to be a treat. The Rose Creek Estate, described as “Tuscany in Keilor East”, has almost three hectares of vineyards and orchards in the rich soil behind the family’s suburban house.

The vineyard was started 35 years ago by Tony, a painter by trade, his wife Lina and son Angelo. They started by selling grapes but when winemakers won gold medals with their produce, they decided to do it themselves.

We try

R O S E C R E E K E S TAT E

The pain factor Tony may be in his 70s but he leaves me breathless as I trail him on the steep vineyard slopes while he points to different grape varieties he tends with love and pride.

Who should try it?

Pilgrims include chefs Guy Grossi and Stephanie Alexander. Ordinary folk love their house, Villa Varapodi, named after Tony’s Calabrian home town.

The reality Angelo studied winemaking and creates the wines from 3000 vines with a hand press, fermentation tanks and oak barrels. “It’s like having a newborn baby. I have to get up every four hours to stir the wine,” he says. The result is palette-blowing. Lina makes virgin olive oil from 400 olive trees and cures olives too.

The bill?

Wine tastings are free, but bookings are essential. The next annual open day, which attracts thousands, is on the last Sunday in August, 2017. This year’s event had to be cancelled, resulting in bumper crowds at their regular market stalls.

WOULD I DO IT AGAIN?

(SUE HEWITT)

The pay-off I try an Italian grape variety, Zibibbo, full of fruit flavours, and a Fragola with a strawberry aroma. The family produce small batches so the 2015 pinot noir is already gone, but a delightful 2013 sparkling pinot chardonnay has me asking for more. Crusty bread dipped into olive oil is simply delightful.

I’d fill my glass again to toast this amazing family’s hospitality. ● Rose Creek Estate 2 Craig Street, Keilor East.

lexa Park Residences at 1050 Mount Alexander Road is an affordable entry point to one of northern Melbourne’s most sought-after areas, with the added incentives of stamp-duty savings in a building already under construction.

Apartments in the seven-storey Essendon development start from $357,000 compared to the suburb’s $1.1 million-plus median for free-standing homes. Although construction began soon after the building’s sales release earlier this year, developer Accord PG is absorbing the cost of the stamp-duty savings for buyers. This affordability, along with an address on the city tram line, an adjoining park and proximity to cafes, shops and schools, is proving popular with buyers, says CBRE residential projects managing director Andrew Leoncelli.

Essendon’s leafy boulevards and grand Victorian and Edwardian houses and mansions, wide choice of schools, proximity to the city and thriving cafe society have long made it a highly desirable address, he says.

“At Alexa you can live in Essendon on the city tram line with city or park views, surrounded by extremely expensive houses, at a very affordable price.”

Accord PG has an association with builder

Buildcorp and was able to begin building without waiting to reach a sales target. Buyers have a short waiting period with settlement planned for the second quarter of next year.

“Alexa buyers can benefit from stamp-duty savings without having to wait years for construction,” Andrew says. Two-thirds of the project’s 85-plus apartments have been reserved; but he says there are still residences available with city views or outlooks over Cliff Allison Reserve, which adjoins Alexa.

The majority of the apartments are in one and two-bedroom layouts and have been designed for optimal efficiency by architects ClarkeHopkinsClarke, with an emphasis on storage, natural light and ventilation.

The open-plan living areas are finished with engineered oak floorboards and have full-height sliding windows to private outdoor spaces. Most apartments have an integrated desk in living areas or bedrooms.

There are two three-bedroom penthouses and options to combine apartments on upper levels to form further three-bedroom layouts.

All apartments have parking and storage in one of two secure basement levels and audio-visual intercoms. ● LIZ McLACHLAN lmclachlan@theweeklyreview.com.au

Location, location Alexa is eight kilometres from the CBD and its residents will be a few metres from Cliff Allison Reserve and the tram stop and moments from local cafes and gyms.

Walking, it’s 11 minutes to Essendon station and an easy distance to St Therese’s and Essendon primary schools, Penleigh and Essendon Grammar and Lowther Hall.

By bike, Alexa is five minutes from Queen’s Park and seven minutes from the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, which ends in Docklands. Local shops include Puckle Street and Highpoint Shopping Centre.

DESIGN

Grey natural stone benchtops and splashbacks feature in Alexa’s kitchens with an elegant shadow line between benchtop and joinery. The natural stone is matched to a grey, white and oak palette. Kitchens have oak laminate display shelving with overhead cupboards and grey under-bench joinery. AEG appliances include a multi-function stainless-steel oven, stainless-steel gas four-burner cooktop and concealed range hood. Most kitchens include an integrated Fisher & Paykel dish drawer with integrated dishwashers in three-bedroom apartments. ●

There’s immaculate attention to design and detail in Alexa’s bathrooms, starting with a full-height feature wall of mosaic tiling.

The rest of the bathroom is finished in large-format porcelain tiles and the floating oak laminate vanity is topped with white Caesarstone. A huge mirrored cupboard reaches from the vanity to the ceiling and its rounded edges reference the building’s curved architecture. The walk-in shower has a frameless glass screen and linear grate and the toilet has a concealed cistern.

The shower, tap and toilet fittings are all bright copper. ●

Architects ClarkeHopkinsClarke designed Alexa to complement its triangular site, giving all apartments abundant natural light in living areas and bedrooms. The 18 ground-floor apartments have garden courtyards of up to 75 square metres – five apartments have as much or more space outside as inside. Balconies generally range from seven to 19.6 square metres.

The building is finished with bronze laser-cut metal screens, concrete and timber, with curves and cut-outs creating a dynamic facade with solid and clear glass balustrades protecting balconies. ●

That’s why our new Learning in Residence program is carefully designed to enhance development across each of these dimensions.

State of the art boarding facilities are available for senior students (Years 10 - 12) at our Glen Waverley campus.

Enrolments are now open for full-time and weekly boarding options.

a contemporary model of boarding builds on Wesley’s philosophy & principles, writes Liz mClachlan facilities. The dining complex includes four learning and recreation spaces and will provide a hub for the senior years’ students after-school and weekend curriculum.

Three staff houses and an administration and laundry building complete the Learning in Residence centre.

Wesley College principal Dr Helen Drennen says the school developed a new and contemporary model for student boarding in years 10, 11 and 12 after much investigation and research into successful boarding schools around the world. The new model also builds on Wesley’s philosophy and principles in operation at its Clunes outdoor education centre in Victoria and the Yiramalay Wesley Studio School in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

“The design translates the importance of cultural and social engagement in the learning process for a modern world and supports the full integration of our residential and day students,” Helen says.

Learning in Residence director Damon Emtage says the residential program is designed to be inclusive, integrated and holistic.

“The new facilities and curriculum, aside from the residences themselves, are for all senior students. Every part of the program is integrated within the senior school so there is a seamless transition of support for all students – there are no divisions between day and residential students and every member of staff is a point of contact for every student.”

Damon says the Learning in Residence program recognises that learning is a continuous process that doesn’t stop with

esley College has welcomed the first 35 students to its new $17-million senior years’ residential learning centre, integrated within the senior school of its Glen Waverley campus.

The centre’s opening marks the reintroduction of boarding to Wesley College in Melbourne and follows its successes in residential learning in regional Victoria and Western Australia. An official opening by Victorian Governor Linda Dessau is planned for November 14.

The aptly named Learning in Residence centre is light years beyond what most parents would traditionally associate with school boarding, with no large institutional dormitory blocks in sight. Instead a collection of eight stylish contemporary architect-designed houses with extensive decks is artfully arranged around a landscaped central garden courtyard.

Designed by acclaimed Melbourne design practice Cox Architecture, the overall effect has far more in common with Grand Designs than St Trinian’s. At the heart of each house there’s a large light-filled shared space designed to make students feel at home with oak floorboards, a natural stone-tiled fireplace, table and banquette seating for reading and lounging. Each house has eight twin-share student bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and mentor living quarters.

Residential students will eat their meals at long refectory tables in a new 240-seat communal dining hall shared with other senior year students and they will have access to the campus’ music, sport and drama

the end of the school day at 3.30pm. The Learning in Residence curriculum focuses on student development with academic, employment, extension and health and well-being programs. Students will have the choice of sessions including subject masterclasses, extension and remediation tutoring, vocational certification and yoga and strengthening classes.

Wesley College plans to enrol a balance of international and Australian students, including students from metropolitan Melbourne, rural and regional Australia and indigenous students from Yiramalay.

Wesley College’s brief to Cox Architecture emphasised the need for all students to feel secure and at home. Project architect Brett Seakins says the design team researched the concept and meaning of home in different cultures, particularly south-east Asian and indigenous Australian.

“It was critical to achieve a balance between privacy and observation. Maintaining open lines of observation from the dwellings through to the central landscape was just as important as providing a bedroom and study nook that the students could feel was their own territory.

“The level of connection builds gradually from student bedrooms with their private nooks to living areas and shared spaces such as the terraced fire-pit and recreation rooms within the adjacent dining hall,” Brett says.

To minimise disruption to students and the school, the houses were built offsite, two at a time, by specialist prefabrication builder Prebuilt. The houses, broken down in modules, took a day to put together followed by two to three weeks of finishing work.

The exterior is finished in engineered timber and charcoal metal cladding that wraps over the roof and down the walls. ● lmclachlan@theweeklyreview.com.au OCTOBER 19, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 21

T

he London borough of Kensington is fondly considered upmarket, elegant and ever so British. Travellers dream of strolling down winding streets lined with tall, white, Victorian townhouses and pit stops at British pubs.

Although Kensington in Melbourne hasn’t quite built up the same global reputation, it does have plenty of its own flair. Far from the cattle yards that used to occupy Kensington, the suburb is now recognised as one of Melbourne’s trendiest.

Tucked away in Altona Street is a building that brings a little bit of Kensington, London, to Kensington, Melbourne.

Surrounded by modest, single-storey, single-fronted houses, this impressive three-storey building certainly stands out.

Built in 1890, No.6 occupies a quarter of an establishment once known as the Bayview Hotel. The fading signs on the sides of the building reveal Victoria Bitter and Foster’s as the choice brews of the time.

Although the inside has been renovated, it has been done in a way that preserves the inherently British history of the place. The floor plan is unusual as far as Australian houses go. Londoners, who are often forced to build upwards rather than out because of space constraints, are particularly partial to more than one flight of stairs. The house favours a more compartmentalised approach, rather than following the open-plan trend.

The interiors are modern, the fixtures are new, the furniture is contemporary and the appliances are up to date. The paint, however, is a little worn in places; but keep reading. During the renovation, the walls were stripped back to reveal the original brickwork and a big open fireplace. The decision to leave certain patches exposed gives an almost industrial feel. The designers obviously knew what they were doing – it looks fantastic.

The ground floor is the combined kitchen, living and dining area. Immediately catching the eye are the Moroccan-style tiled splashbacks behind the grey marbled benchtops. Such is the way with designers who know their craft; they know how to match the mismatched.

Behind a set of sliding doors is a courtyard with artificial grass. Filled with an eclectic assortment of pot plants and furniture, it’s an area that’s almost like being atop one of Melbourne’s famous rooftop bars. Up the first flight of stairs is a more formal sitting room. Again catching the eye is an original patch of red bricks that offsets the otherwise monochromatic colour scheme. This room has potential to be converted into a third bedroom.

The two bedrooms are on the second floor. Again, in European style, standalone wardrobes have been favoured over built-in storage. This adds an interesting design element while maintaining versatility. Above the main bedroom is a big attic. The bathroom is luxurious and has a bath. On the ground floor, there’s another bathroom tucked behind the stairs that exemplifies how efficiently space has been used.

Nearby the Kensington shopping strip has made quite a name in foodie circles. Kensington Primary is less than a kilometre away, and the CBD is less than a 10-minute train trip. There’s a secure parking spot behind the building. ● EMILY COLLIN property@theweeklyreview.com.au

This Victorian house harbours a startling personality. The tiny north-facing balcony behind the pitched roof is invisible from the street. Likewise the brilliant red second storey that rises above the east-facing garden. “The facade is quite unassuming,’’ the co-owner of the former shopfront says. “But you walk in and it’s like a story unfolding.” Though updated in 2009, the house has all the humour of an earlier revamp. The two ground-floor bedrooms have green-mullioned windows on to a lightwell courtyard with a fountain. The grey-tiled bathroom has a mosaic shower. The side hall opens into the kitchen, vivid in matt black and white gloss cabinets with stainless-steel benchtops, integrated Miele and Liebherr appliances and walk-in pantry. In the atrium living and dining area, a jasmine climbs to the curved ceiling. Timber stairs lead to an office on the internal balcony, followed by the main bedroom, en suite, walk-in wardrobe and balcony. The rear single garage has a permit for a second storey. ● ALISON BARCLAY

ESSENDON \ 98 HOFFMANS ROAD RO Two raised decks bring the outdoors inside this modern townhouse. The high-ceiling, open-plan living zone is light-filled with glass doors and windows to a side and a rear deck, which joins a back courtyard with synthetic turf. A standout feature is wall of large, square slate tiles in a family sized lounge and dining area. The natural feel continues in the contemporary kitchen, with dark stone benchtops, including on an island breakfast bench. The overall neutral colour scheme uses light-coloured porcelain tiles in high-traffic areas and pale carpet in three large bedrooms.

The main bedroom on the top floor has a small west-facing balcony to catch sunsets. Like the ground-floor bedroom, this room has an en suite and mirrored, built-in wardrobe. The third bedroom upstairs is next to a bathroom with a shower over the tub and a small retreat.

All bathrooms have stone-top vanities and floor-to-ceiling porcelain tiles.

There’s off-street parking and a single garage with internal access, near St Bernard’s and Buckley Park colleges and Keilor Road shops, cafes and public transport. ● SUE HEWITT

WEST MELBOURNE \ 6 BOUGHTON N PLA PLACE A heartbeat away from the city centre, Flagstaff Gardens and Queen Victoria Market, this executive apartment is close to cosmopolitan action but so quiet it could be in a country town.

Thick walls and double-glazed windows dampen the sound, but not the excitement of living in the centre of Melbourne.

It’s so hip it has a bluestone cobble laneway entrance to a rendered, warehouse-like facade with a double garage, large entry or office and one of three bathrooms on the ground floor.

There’s a lift and timber stairs to all four levels.

Two luxury bedrooms on the second level have sophisticated en suites with floor-to-ceiling porcelain tiles that look like black marble, and built-in wardrobes with interior drawers and hanging space.

Although it’s contemporary, details such as solid timber, polished floors, dark painted feature walls and stone kitchen benchtops add rustic touches.

The living area has a side balcony with full-length glass windows and doors, a home theatre and screen and a kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, including two ovens; Caesarstone benchtops, wine fridge and a plumbed fridge.

The top-floor terrace has an indoor retreat, gas log fire, outside shower, shade sails and high, private walls with a stencil of the city skyline. ● SUE HEWITT
