Cultivated Wilderness In Inner Melbourne

After seeing team Phillip Withers’s ‘I See Wild’ installation at Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show in 2017, Melbourne-based couple Malcolm Watkins and Peter Kerr (of PLK Interiors) engaged the landscape specialists to create a captivating garden to surround their Cera Stribley and AV-ID designed residence in Toorak. 

Comprising three separate pockets of garden that each required a distinct horticultural approach, Phil and his team devised channels of foliage that connected the landscape with the architecture, while also giving the separate sections a distinct character and function. Not to mention one seriously vibing infinity pool!

An Enchanting, Rustic Rental In The Macedon Ranges

Every so often a home comes along that’s so lived-in and character-filled, we can’t believe it’s a rental property!

Lisa Hodge and her children were the lucky tenants of this property in Macedon, at the time we visited, earlier this year (they’ve since moved on to a new home).  

The home was styled so beautifully by Lisa, with an eclectic mix of mid-century and ‘80s furniture finds, complementing the home’s rustic timber tones and recycled materials.
