Splitters Creek home - done!
We just finished a family home just outside of Albury, in a tiny place called Splitters Creek.
Here are some random shots we took using imogen's iphone and the magic of instagram!

Loafer Bread
Towards the end of last year we designed a new interior fit-out for Loafer Bread in North Fitzroy. The client wanted to incorporate many of the existing fixtures, and maintain the same atmosphere, but create more seating for customers. The space is pretty small, but the new banquette seat works well - creating more seats without taking up valuable floor space.
The new elements are sneaking in incrementally, so that they can keep serving delicious food and coffee throughout the works!

A Tasmanian Secret
For the summer a group of friends and I decided to go and check out Tasmania's beaches. Wow. Why didn't anyone tell me how incredible it is there. While camping at a super special secret camp spot at cozy corner we visited Jana and Raoul Harper at their incredible 5 acre property right on the Bay of Fires! This place is enough to make you want to pack up your bathers and library of unread novels and just move there FOREVER.
The Harpers house was built in the 1970's by artists - who took a very 'crafty' approach. They used local stone for walls, found leadlight windows and french doors, slate flooring, timber lining boards and even a clawfoot bath! The strandboard lining to the ceilings is still intact too. The house is a quintessential quirky shack...and you can tell throughout its 30 years has been loved and added to by its owners.
On our visit to the house, Jana - the gregarious host - took us on a tour of the entire place. It boasts two fire pits (for cooler nights with friends) a dam complete with frogs...a few wallabies feeding nearby too. The house sits amougst the natural low lying scrub - but still has views to the Tasman Sea.
My favourite part is the split level living area with clerestorey windows that allow the north light to reach the back of the house. Its really cozy in the sunken lounge but the height of the sloped ceiling gives a grand sense of volume to the small space.
The shower is another of my favourite features - a huge slate base with no screen. Jana tells a great story about how the previous owners were both in the shower with full length windows to the garden (since filled in) when the real estate brought some prospective buyers in!
While visiting the bay of fires house - Jana and Raoul shared some amazing stories of the area over some of the best local Pinot Noir and Gewertztraminer and the freshest, plumpest oysters you've ever seen. As the sun sank into the sheoak trees, and the days warmth remained in the rock walls of the house - I vowed to return to Tassie the first chance I get!
The house is the dream holiday getway - and it could be yours!!! Check it out here:http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-tas-binalong+bay-108399266

Been a while since we trawled the interwebs for inspiration and came across these wonderful images whilst eating lunch.
Getting a bit sick of the usual 'painted white brick wall with Eames chair' interior shots. thinking we might get a bit more arty.
Swiped from the usual suspects

A Robin Boyd 'special' in the middle of S.A.
Late June found me (Emilio) driving from Alice Springs to Melbourne. I detoured to Uluru (in-cred-ible!), past the (slowly filling) salt lakes of South Australia and over the southern edge of the Flinders Ranges.
Whilst flying through the tiny town of Hallett (on the Barrier Hwy, south-east South Australia) I came across this building ... what a site ... after 4 days of awe inspiring nothingness and a virtual architectural desert, I caught site of what can only be described as an ode to Robin Boyd. It's super similar Boyd's Stanley Blott House in Lilydale Victoria, but even more formal with a perfectly square plan and no recent 'modifications.' The lack of low windows and the 'grand' entry speaks of a community hall, but i just can't shake the feeling that maybe it was/is a house.
