Artist Lucy Hersey’s serene landscape paintings immortalise regional Victoria’s natural world in more ways than one.
After being a scientific research assistant for almost a decade in her former career, Lucy now plays alchemist in her recently re-built South Gippsland studio to create her own pigments from natural materials!
Cascade House by John Ellway Architect is a project that functions even better than it looks — no easy feat for a home this beautiful!
The house belongs to Jacqueline Kaytar, founder and creative director at Repose, and her family, who moved to Brisbane from Sydney several years ago. They engaged John Ellway Architect to renovate and extend their circa 1900 Paddington home to fully embrace the subtropical environment, their lifestyle, and capacity for year-round outdoor living.
A 65 square metre addition achieved all this and more, replacing a former lean-to and carport with a new kitchen, lounge, and dining area flanked by a pool and north-facing courtyard.
The result is a home that radiates warmth, comfort and beauty, regardless of the weather or time of day.
