This Mid '60s Sibbel Home In Healesville Is A True Family Legacy

Fleur Sibbel, Managing Director of Zuster Furniture,  grew up surrounded by great design. Her grandfather, Dutch architect Herman Sibbel, brought over the family business, Sibbel Builders, with his brother shortly after emigrating to Australia in the mid 1950s, building a legacy as one of Melbourne’s most significant designers and builders of mid century modern homes.

In 2019, Fleur and her husband bought an almost untouched Sibbel home in Healesville, built by her father and designed by her grandfather. With sensitive updates undertaken, Fleur, her Dad and builder Peter Cann (who started as an apprentice with Sibbel Builders before going out on his own) have restored this iconic home to its original glory, and then some!

We’re typically known for our sweet treats at Pana, but we thought this month presented a perfect opportunity to showcase our more savoury side!

This is a dish that brings together both the traditional concept of cacao (sweet) with the challenge of new (savoury). The pickled vegetables ‘growing’ from the cacao soil combined with the nut cheese brings together a myriad of flavours which touches sweet, salty, smooth, crisp, sour and fresh in one plate. This is the dish if you dare to be different!
