We’ve been lucky to be working with talented Melbourne photographer Caitlin Mills for the past three years. Over this time she’s captured some wonderful people, spaces, places, and plates for us!
A few years before we crossed paths, a just-out-of-uni Caitlin set off overseas, ‘young and free and ready for an adventure’. She found just that, falling head-over-heels for Spain, and vowing to return.
Well, last year she did! Today, she lets us all join her on journey along Spain’s spectacular Camino de Santiago trail.
Sometimes, things just fall into place. After missing out on a property at auction, artist Katie Eraser walked into the inspection of this Brunswick East home, and realised she had found the one.
Her partner Jay Longworth realised the same thing, so on the same day the couple’s offer to buy the property was accepted, Jay proposed!
The period house was already in great condition when purchasing, leaving Katie and Jay with only one thing to do: fill it with art!
Today we’re wrapping up our inspiring and informative ‘Words from the Wise’ series, with Sarah Lynn Rees, Palawa/Trawlwoolway woman, lecturer, curator, and lead Indigenous advisor at architecture firm Jackson Clements Burrows Architects.
Through studying architecture, working in remote communities, and an understanding of her own heritage – Sarah’s practice is rooted in the social, cultural, political and ethical ramifications of design.
In this fascinating conversation with recent Monash Art, Design + Architecture Masters of Architecture graduate, Declan Murphy, Sarah talks about the importance of designing the built environment with Country, culture and community front of mind.
Sandy and Angela Richards have lived in this Port Melbourne home for 33 years. Initially a share house, the property went on to become Sandy and Angela’s family home, where they raised their three children.
The couple have decided to soon put this beloved property up for sale, but not before we joined them for a final tour!
For Sarah Annand, textiles are the medium that fuses all her creative loves together. Her brand Oat Studio is a way for the designer to unite photography, painting and architecture in fabric design.
Sarah’s textile designs are a culmination of decade of experience in the local fabric industry, a degree in art history and her love for Canberra’s modernist architecture. An unexpected trifecta!

The Sydney Garden of Jonathan West, Shauna Greyerbiehl and Family. The kauri pine doors with brass detailing form a lovely focal point from the house. The crepe myrtle (Lagerstroemia ‘Natchez’) frames the space and will eventually provide a shade canopy. The shaggy plant on the back wall is a Grevillea ‘Moonlight’. The small tree to the right of the doors is a maple (Acer japonicum ‘Aconitifolium’) Photo – Daniel Shipp. Production – Lucy Feagins/The Design Files and Georgina Reid/The Planthunter.

Directors of Other Architects, Grace Mortlock and David Neustein, describe the quintessential modern Australian country house as a ‘machine for living in’ that dramatises the idea of dwelling in the landscape, by exaggerating the harshness and remoteness of its setting.
Their recent project, Highlands House, offers a deliberately different experience. Rather than defined rooms, this project adopts an older and more universal mode of country living, where generations of people have lived in simple, open structures.
The modestly sized home seeks not to be a bold architectural statement, but simply, part of the fabric of ordinary life – exactly as Other Architects intended.

The Southern Highlands home of James Watts and Tony Chapman is the kind of house many Australians wish they were isolating in right now.
With its gorgeous interiors, including sunny spots to read, antique furnishings, and a roaring fireplace, every day here feels like a boutique holiday stay.
James and Tony personally designed the renovation of the 1930s cottage, which was completed just before entering lockdown in 2020. With the help of a great local trades team, they’ve created the ultimate cosy sanctuary.

When you look at subtropical cities around the world such as São Paulo, Los Angeles, Cape Town and Hong Kong, their houses are very different to your typical Queenslander. Instead of timber and tin, these buildings more commonly showcase concrete construction conducive to the climate.
This thinking underlies much of Richards and Spence’s work – the architecture practice responsible for some of Brisbane’s most impressive contemporary projects including The Calile Hotel and Fish Lane Town Square.
Their latest project, ‘La Scala’ is incredibly personal, as it’s the self-designed home of the practice’s power couple founders, Ingrid Richards and Adrian Spence. Applying their trademark gentle brutalism aesthetic through concrete and Eco Outdoor’s Scala® travertine, they’ve created a mammoth Bowen Hills home that places outdoor space at the literal centre, and deliberately blurs the line between a domestic and commercial use.
