Repeat buyers are one of the strongest measures of confidence in any apartment development.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/era-newcastle-west-124-126-bull-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">ERA</a> in Newcastle West, some purchasers are returning to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gwh">GWH</a> after living at the developer's One Apartments. Their decision to purchase again was driven by the quality of life they found after moving into their first GWH home.

Keith Wilton had spent years living in a house in East Maitland before deciding it was time for a change. Apartment living had always been on his radar, but he was selective about what he wanted.

"I had some boxes I wanted to tick," he says.

Keith points to the open-plan design, generous outdoor areas and considered inclusions as key reasons One Apartments worked for him.

“One of those things was a nice indoor open plan area, but also I wanted a nice outdoor open area that I could entertain on in summer or Christmases or birthdays,” he says.

He also found value in the smaller details, from integrated appliances to shared resident spaces including the pool, cinema and rooftop areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356818]

After comparing several developments, he chose One Apartments because of GWH's longstanding local reputation and his own experience working with the developer on a commercial project more than a decade earlier.

"I knew that they were local, that the quality of the build was going to be up there. I'd looked at other apartment complexes around and close by, and I just knew that here was a better decision location wise."

Today, Keith says the move has completely changed how he experiences Newcastle.

"I enjoy living in this location because it's more of a lifestyle change. That Newcastle city living where you can walk to restaurants and bars and even beaches and parks and even shopping across the road."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356828]

Beyond the location, he says it's the sense of community that has surprised him most.

"Everyone loves living here because they chose to live here, but everyone looks out for each other. It's a real great community feel here."

For Aimee and Lyle Goodman, the journey started almost by chance.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tsioMLcnjas?si=zq-ys3JuWpfa5hFv" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The couple happened to be having coffee in Newcastle when they noticed the site where One Apartments was about to begin construction.

"We were aware GWH was planning a development," Aimee says. "We made one phone call and things moved pretty quickly after that."

As busy business owners, they initially thought apartment living would simply reduce the maintenance that came with larger homes. Instead, it fundamentally changed how they spent time together.

"We actually catch up more as a family now," Aimee says.

"We've had homes with big yards and lots of space, but everyone ended up in different rooms. Here we'll have dinner together, the kids can play, and we spend far more quality time together."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356829]

Lyle says their confidence came from GWH's reputation within Newcastle's building industry.

"I know people who've worked across different apartment projects, and whenever GWH came up the feedback was always the same. They're rock solid. They're quality."

That confidence only grew throughout the buying process.

"One of the things that really impressed us with GWH was the whole process, was the communication," Lyle says. "It was consistent, it was regular, there was no problem if we had some weird questions, there was no problems in getting answers."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351104]

Aimee says one moment stood out.

"The project actually finished on time. We realised we needed to hurry up and sell our house because everything was happening exactly when they said it would."

The positive experience at One Apartments ultimately gave all three buyers the confidence to purchase again with GWH, this time at ERA.

Their confidence reflects what many buyers are seeking in today's apartment market. Location remains important, but so too does certainty around delivery, quality and long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356822]

ERA builds on those foundations with 280 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across two landmark towers in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Newcastle West</a>.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fk-australia">Fender Katsalidis</a>, the project will include more than 2,000 square metres of resident amenities, including a resort-style pool, gym, sauna, private cinema and rooftop entertaining spaces overlooking the harbour and coastline.&nbsp;

The development is also within walking distance of the Newcastle Interchange, Honeysuckle, Darby Street, the harbour foreshore, restaurants, retail and the city’s beaches, continuing the walkable lifestyle that existing GWH buyers say has transformed how they live.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356826]

For Keith, the appeal remains straightforward.

"You feel at home even before you've moved into your home."

For Aimee, the change is measured in time.

“I just felt like I had more time,” she says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351102]

Construction at ERA is now underway, with more than half of the residences already sold and limited two and three-bedroom apartments remaining in the East Tower release. Priced from $980,000 for two-bedroom residences and $1.46 million for three-bedroom residences, buyers can secure an apartment with a 10 per cent deposit, with premium homes offering ocean views from Level 8 and harbour views from Level 10.

ERA is also backed by Resilience Insurance's 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy, providing protection against structural or waterproofing defects for 10 years after completion. The project is anticipated to be completed in early 2028.

From ONE to ERA: Why buyers are choosing GWH again in Newcastle West

Virgate Property Group is preparing to commence construction of Verdé, its new apartment development in Melbourne's Arts Precinct at Southbank, following a strong run of sales that has seen more than half of the project's 173 apartments secured.

Verdé has attracted a broad mix of first home buyers, owner-occupiers upgrading from nearby inner-city suburbs and investors, with younger owner-occupier couples aged between 28 and 45 accounting for the strongest enquiry. Many are already living in Southbank, South Melbourne, Albert Park, Port Melbourne, South Yarra and the CBD.

"Verdé is located in one of the most desirable pockets of southern Melbourne," Blair Property Group Director Darren Blair, who is managing sales at Verdé, said.

"It's within walking distance of the Arts Centre, Royal Botanic Gardens, Albert Park Lake, and Southbank's restaurants and retail. It's a great lifestyle location with strong amenity and liveability, which made it a very attractive choice for the project."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372549]

Virgate was already familiar with the precinct, having previously delivered the successful Domain House development in neighbouring South Melbourne. That experience gave the developer confidence to acquire the Coventry Street site and continue expanding its presence in Melbourne's inner south.

"We had been keeping an eye on the site and the broader precinct for a few months before deciding to move forward with the acquisition," Virgate said.

The project was ultimately secured in 2020 following feasibility studies, planning assessments and due diligence, with the brief centred on delivering "a high-quality, considered design that feels both refined and fit for purpose."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=314259]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bruce-henderson-architects">Bruce Henderson Architects</a>, Verdé comprises 173 one, two and three-bedroom apartments priced from $599,000. The architecture is distinguished by a faceted glass façade that responds to both the site's outlook and Melbourne's changing light conditions.

According to Bruce Henderson Architects, the coloured glazing gives the building a distinctive identity while also providing privacy and solar shading, with residences oriented to capture views across the bay, city skyline and surrounding parklands.

Inside, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/designoffice">DesignOffice</a> has created interiors focused on natural light, efficient planning and enduring materials. Apartments feature engineered oak flooring, natural stone benchtops, floor-to-ceiling glazing and SMEG appliances, while a restrained material palette aims to complement the expansive outlooks rather than compete with them.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372550]

Resident amenity has also been designed around everyday functionality rather than occasional use. Facilities include a concierge-serviced lobby, residents' lounge with fireplace, library and co-working space, gym, terrace garden with barbecue facilities, ground-floor café, and package delivery management.

The project's location continues to be one of its strongest drawcards. Positioned on Coventry Street, Verdé sits within walking distance of the National Gallery of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne, Royal Botanic Gardens and Albert Park Lake, while Southbank's dining precinct, Sturt Street trams and the new ANZAC Station are all nearby. The surrounding education catchment also includes Melbourne Grammar, Melbourne Girls Grammar, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School and several major university campuses.

The sales team says buyers have responded particularly well to the combination of location, design quality and long-term liveability.

"They're responding really positively to the quality of the design, premium resident amenities and the uninterrupted views. Many also appreciate the location and how connected it is to everything they need."

The ability to secure stamp duty savings before completion has also been a key factor for purchasers, alongside the opportunity to personalise finishes ahead of settlement.

With construction set to commence soon and more than half the apartments already sold, Verdé enters its next phase as one of the Arts Precinct's more established apartment developments, offering remaining buyers an opportunity to secure a residence before construction advances further. Expected completion is scheduled for late 2027.

Virgate's Verdé Southbank moves toward construction as sales fly past halfway stage

Downsizer-focused apartment development Kooyongkoot in Hawthorn has been recognised at the 2026 Better Future Melbourne Design Awards, taking home Gold and Silver awards in two categories.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kooyongkoot-hawthorn-1-kooyongkoot-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Kooyongkoot</a>, currently being delivered by developer PQD and designed by Cera Stribley, received Gold in the Interior Design – Proposed category and Silver in the Architecture – Proposed category.

The dual recognition reflects the design approach behind the boutique development on prestigious Kooyongkoot Road, where the focus has been on creating homes for downsizers seeking the space, quality and functionality of a detached house within a low-rise apartment building.

Rather than maximising apartment numbers, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pqd">PQD</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a> limited the development to just 18 residences, allowing for larger floorplans, greater privacy, generous landscaping and expansive communal spaces.&nbsp;The majority of the apartments also benefit from corner aspects, allowing for dual sources of natural light.

Now around 70 per cent complete and on track for completion in November 2026, Kooyongkoot will comprise a mix of garden residences, ter​race apartments, sub-penthouses, and is crowned by two half-floor penthouses with direct lift access and private rooftop terraces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355297]

The Silver Award for Architecture recognised the way the building responds to its prominent corner position at the ent​rance to Hawthorn's Scotch Hill precinct, one of Melbourne's most established residential neighbourhoods.

Rather than competing with the grand homes that line Kooyongkoot Road, the architectural approach focused on restraint and longevity, using curved brickwork, generous landscaping and carefully considered proportions to integrate with the existing streetscape.

"The form feels fluid and timeless, as though shaped by the landscape itself – architecture that belongs, rather than competes," said Chris Stribley, Co-Founder and Managing Principal of Cera Stribley.

The judging submission also highlighted practical innovations throughout the building, including lift cores servicing only nine homes each, a central landscaped lightcourt designed to bring daylight and ventilation into the building, and fully enclosed private storage rooms with lighting, power and shelving to better accommodate residents transitioning from larger family homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355293]

The Gold Award for Interior Design recognised the project's focus on long-term liveability rather than display-home aesthetics.

According to the awards submission, the interiors were designed from the inside out, prioritising how homes would function over decades of daily use through generous proportions, practical storage, durable natural materials and flexible layouts.

The specification includes natural stone throughout, upgraded acoustic glazing, V-ZUG appliances and fully enclosed storage rooms, alongside an amenity offering focused on wellness, entertainment and everyday convenience.&nbsp;

Residents will have access to a gym and yoga studio, a wellness centre featuring traditional and infrared saunas, a cold therapy shower and treatment room, as well as a residents' lounge and golf simulator/cinema room for entertainment.&nbsp;Kooyongkoot has also considered the everyday convenience of its residents by offering a private carwash and pet wash facilities on site as well as dedicated parcel lockers and oversized fully enclosed storage rooms.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355303]

The project's attention to detail has already resonated with buyers. Earlier this year, Kooyongkoot recorded one of Boroondara's highest apartment sales when an $8 million penthouse was purchased by a Melbourne CEO downsizing from a nearby family home.

"Every detail feels deliberate, from the overall design down to the smallest touches," the purchaser said.

"The level of quality and refinement is exceptional, but what really sold it was how liveable it felt... It felt like a place where everything had been considered, not just a luxury building."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355304]

Sustainability also formed a key part of both award submissions. Kooyongkoot is targeting a minimum 7.5-star NatHERS rating across all residences, supported by passive design principles, high-performance glazing, EV charging infrastructure, water reuse systems and a wellness model focused on lower-energy dry facilities rather than pools and large wet areas.

Located within walking distance of Scotch College, Methodist Ladies' College, Koo​yong Lawn Tennis Club, Aubur​n Village and Camberwell Junction, Kooyongkoot continues to target owner-occupiers looking to remain in Melbourne's inner east without compromising on space or quality. A limited selection of two, three and four-bedroom residences remains available, with prices starting from $1.9 million.

Kooyongkoot wins Gold and Silver at Better Future Melbourne Design Awards

New apartment supply has become increasingly constrained across <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/parramatta-nsw-2150">Parramatta</a> in recent years, with fewer projects progressing through to completion as development conditions have become more challenging.

It makes <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/novm">NOVM</a>'s 2021-completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-lennox-parramatta-12-phillip-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">The Lennox</a> one of the most recently completed residential towers on the Parramatta River, and among the newest apartment developments in Sydney's second CBD.

With the project largely completed before the sharp escalation in construction costs and inflation following the pandemic, The Lennox is now offering pricing that would be difficult to replicate in a comparable new development in Parramatta today, or across much of Western Sydney.

The majority of the 413 apartments at The Lennox sold before and shortly after completion. A limited release of the remaining apartments has recently been brought to market by capital partner <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/equitifund-group">Equitifund</a>, with entry-level pricing from $700,000 and two-bedroom apartments available from under $1 million.

Rising above the Parramatta River at 12 Phillip Street, The Lennox comprises one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, appealing to first home buyers, young professionals, families, downsizers and interstate investors seeking a completed apartment in one of Australia's fastest-growing economic centres.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=372394]

Rather than positioning Parramatta as an alternative to Sydney's CBD, Equitifund believes the city has reached a point where it stands on its own merits.

"Parramatta is no longer simply an alternative to Sydney CBD, it's becoming a destination in its own right," Equitifund Executive Chairman Greg Huxley said.

"The Lennox captures that evolution with a level of quality and amenity that's difficult to match at its price point."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=953]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/marchese-partners">Marchese Partners</a>, the tower responds directly to its riverfront setting through expansive glazing and open-plan layouts that maximise views across the Parramatta River and city skyline. Interiors feature engineered timber flooring, stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances and floor-to-ceiling glazing, while generous balconies extend the living spaces outdoors.

Marchese Partners says the project was conceived to balance high-quality apartment living with practical, long-term functionality, pairing larger, efficient floorplans with amenities more commonly associated with five-star hotels.

That emphasis continues through the resident facilities, which include a 20-metre rooftop swimming pool, fully equipped gym and wellness spaces, full-time concierge, a residents' lounge, function room, private lifts, secure basement parking and rooftop communal areas overlooking the Parramatta River. Ground-floor boardwalk retail and dining further activate the riverfront and integrate the building into the surrounding public realm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=925]

Australian housing and finance group Equitifund has secured the remaining apartments, believing there are few completed apartment opportunities in Parramatta that offer the same combination of location, amenity and pricing.

Equitifund National Sales Director Ben Hamblett says buyers are increasingly recognising that premium apartment living no longer needs to come with Sydney CBD pricing.

"The Lennox is where aspirational living becomes attainable," Hamblett said.

"Wake to river and mountain views, step into Sydney's Second CBD, and arrive home to resort-calibre amenities, all without the harbour price tag."

Hamblett says owner-occupiers are also attracted by the convenience of having Westfield Parramatta, Church Street's dining precinct, Parramatta Park, Riverside Theatres, Western Sydney University and major transport connections all within walking distance.

"At The Lennox, lifestyle is not an afterthought, it is the foundation."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=5374]

The Lennox places residents within walking distance of Parramatta Square, Westfield Parramatta, Church Street Eat Street, Parramatta Station, the ferry wharf, Light Rail, the future Sydney Metro West, Parramatta Park and CommBank Stadium, reinforcing Parramatta's position as one of Australia's most connected metropolitan centres outside Sydney's CBD.

Equitifund says buyers visiting the display suite consistently comment on the quality of the finishes, generous floorplans, river and skyline views, and the walkability of the location. The project has attracted a broad mix of local professionals, upsizers, downsizers, buyers relocating from Sydney's inner suburbs and interstate investors seeking long-term growth opportunities.

That demand aligns with Parramatta's continued evolution as an economic powerhouse. Equitifund Research and Market Insights specialist John Bekiaris says sustained population growth, infrastructure investment and expanding employment opportunities continue to support long-term housing demand across the city.

"Parramatta has evolved from a satellite city into one of Australia's most important economic centres. Population growth, infrastructure investment and employment are all supporting sustained long-term housing demand."

The apartment price gap drawing Sydney buyers west

A luxury beachfront apartment at Rainbow Bay has more than doubled in value since it sold off the plan six years ago, setting a new local apartment record in the process.

The three-bedroom apartment in the Flow development on Petrie Street, the first of four new projects locally by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects, has sold for $7.4 million, after originally selling for $3.27 million when the project launched in 2020.

The seventh-floor apartment, comprising 187 sqm of internal living space and a 54 sqm balcony overlooking Froggies Beach and Snapper Rocks, was purchased by a local family.

The transaction was negotiated by Pezet Matheson director Kerry Pezet and equates to more than $30,000 per sqm.

Pezet said the sale reflected the limited opportunities to buy into the boutique beachfront development.

"The sale highlights the rarity of opportunities within the boutique beachfront development, where residences seldom become available," Pezet said.

"Flow is one of the Gold Coast's most tightly held buildings. Buyers from our database move quickly when residences become available, and achieving an off-market sale at $7.4 million demonstrates the depth of demand for property of this calibre."

<img alt="Flow" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c585b206-2130-4eee-a50c-3f27c51a7c70" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-06%20at%208.33.25%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=m3pHRDV62Y3fvN.XQuQHq.52ilTWpRLf" />

Flow was the first of four luxury apartment developments delivered by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects at Rainbow Bay and was completed in 2023.

Positioned on the beachfront overlooking Snapper Rocks, the residence includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room and views stretching north along the coastline towards Surfers Paradise.

Pezet Matheson Residential principal Mitchell Lambert said buyers continued to prioritise quality beachfront apartments in tightly held locations.

"Flow Residences offers a rare combination of elevated beachfront positioning, architectural excellence, comprehensive resident amenity and premium finishes, which is exactly what discerning purchasers are seeking," Lambert said.

"The transaction further reinforces Rainbow Bay's reputation as one of Australia's premier coastal lifestyle destinations, where limited supply and growing demand continue to support strong market performance."

Pezet Matheson originally marketed and sold out Flow off the plan, making the latest transaction a return to one of the project's original buyers.

Paul Gedoun is selling his third project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/radia-rainbow-bay-271-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Radia Rainbow Bay</a>, after recently completing, and selling out, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/esprit-217-227-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Esprit</a>.

A designer revival of the backyard dunny?
The enduring presence of a turn of the century brick outhouse in the Sydney suburb of Balmain piqued the interest of our property contrarians, Jonathan Chancellor and Margie Blok.
Especially as this brick outhouse stands in the backyard behind a Federation house recently stylishly redesigned by SJB Architects. Over $3 million is expected at its 11 October auction.
While the house is described by the <a href="https://www.belleproperty.com/41P0196" target="_blank">listing agent Monique Dower at Belle Property</a> as striking “a perfect balance between classical architecture and cutting-edge design”, the old thunderbox harks back to the days of previous generations when homes didn’t have indoor flushable toilets. 
Viewed on Google Earth, the dunny is connected to an adjoining building next door, so perhaps its preservation was as much about the neighbourhood harmony.
This week Jonathan and Margie discuss the merits of the rare maintenance of the once ubiquitous building at the bottom of the backyard. 
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2014/03/28/jc-silhouette-7.jpg" style="line-height: 1.3em; float: right;">HE SAID:
I'd previously reported on<a href="/news/last-of-the-backyard-paddington-dunnies-fetches-1-million-amid-78-super-saturday-auction-clearance-rate"> the demise of the backyard dunny</a>. But that was in Sydney's east.
I think this updated Balmain dunny is inspired – it is certainly more functional, and far less sexist, than a man’s shed.
With a garden hose hanging off the outside wall, you could pop inside when nature calls while watering the lawn, or indeed, while turning sausages on the barbecue conveniently placed against the adjacent fence.
Would have loved it if they went with a Philippe Starck bowl, but see it's a Geberit instead.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2014/03/28/mb-silhouette-6.jpg" style="float: left;">
SHE SAID:
I’m with Jonathan, this dunny is a winner. Highly practical, it is ideally placed metres from the plunge pool, so dripping wet residents and their guests don’t need to schlep through the house to the powder room inside. Also, it solves the hideous issue of children pissing in pools (a personal bugbear of mine) – no excuses for kids not using the loo here.
If I owned this dunny, I’d add to its authenticity by growing a choko vine over the ripple iron roof, and placing a scary looking plastic spider near the toilet bowl – for I grew up in a house with an outdoor dunny (albeit a flushable one) where spiders resided alongside my father’s garden tools. 
Before modern suburban sewerage systems were built, dunnies were designed for practicality. In the good old days before water flushable toilets, outhouses with cans were placed at a distance from the house for reasons of smell and hygience. And often they were set on a property’s rear boundary with lane access for the removal of waste. 
Collected at night, once of twice a week by men with a horse and cart hired by the local council, the waste was euphemistically referred to as ‘night soil’ – hence the term ‘night soil’ lane was coined. In inner city suburbs these days, former ‘night soil’ lanes have morphed to provide easy car access to a garage, or a pedestrian thoroughfare if the lane is narrow.
Of course the term - as flat as a shit carter's hat - still lives on with surf reports.

The designer revival of a backyard dunny? He Said/She Said 

<html><body>
The pantry is apparently super-sizing. And the trend has emerged not just because there was plenty of space in The Block Glasshouse project in Prahran.
Last weekend <a href="https://online.wsj.com/articles/the-rise-of-the-super-pantry-1410449896" target="_blank">The Wall Street Journal noted</a> the trend noting the pantry in the US was becoming prettier part of the home. As kitchens islands have become the entertainment hub of the home, home owners are moving the clutter and clatter of kitchen activities behind the scenes where they are less visible to guests.
"No longer just for storing potato chips and soup cans, the traditional kitchen closet is becoming bigger, more luxe and more multifunctional.
"Architects, contractors and real-estate agents say upscale homeowners are asking for walk-in rooms that serve as workspaces for everything from food prep to gift wrapping to bill-paying."
A report by the National Association of Home Builders last year showed 85% of respondents put a walk-in kitchen pantry on their most wanted list.
The WSJ article said the latest iteration of the pantry was really just a riff off pantries of yore.
 In the U.S., a separate room used for storing butter in the 17th and 18th centuries was called a "buttr'y," says Catherine Seiberling Pond, author of The Pantry—Its History and Modern Uses.
 The mid- to late-1800s saw the arrival of the "butler's pantry"—a room off the kitchen for storing glassware, dishes and cutlery, where food was plated. 
In the 1930s, breakfast nooks began to replace separate pantries, and food storage moved to cabinets. 
Pantries became all but obsolete by the 1950s, says Pond. It wasn't until the 1990s, when kitchens became more open, that walk-in pantries returned.
There were two winners of kitchen week.
Michael and Carlene's kitchen was reminiscent of a high-end Manhattan brasserie. The butler’s pantry had storage and a preparation area. The judges praised the pantry (pictured above) as the “icing on the cake”.
Shannon and Simon's kitchen was described as modern, edgy with a sophisticated palette. It came with chef's kitchen. Their pantry was the perfect place for a microwave, said judge Darren.
Dee and Daz’s butler’s pretty pantry was the runner up.
There was criticism from the Block judge, Shayna of Maxine and Karstan’s butler’s pantry. 
Shayna thought there was way too much storage (below) in the contestant butler’s pantry, describing it as “like a clinical storage box”.

The Block Glasshouse: Kitchen pantries on the comeback

<html><body>
With the sad departure of Margaret and David from our screens, you may soon be confused over what to see - but you confused over where to see it.
Profits may be down in the big multiplexes, but plenty of people still want to go to the cinema. They would just rather it was in their own homes.
Home theatres have plenty of appeal: popcorn made on the stove costs about $3, you can pause the movie to go to the bathroom and you don't have to turn your phone off.
So kick back, allow Property Observer to dim the lights, and take a look at these five houses with home cinemas.

This home theatre sits in the largest apartment in North Sydney's Gallery 88 development. The cinema is positioned away from the bedrooms and living rooms, so neither viewers nor sleepers are disturbed. The room includes hidden LED lights tucked above ceiling panels, so you don't have to sit in total darkness while watching a movie.
This three bedroom apartment is on the market for $2.5 million.

The cinema room of this Toorak home is located underground, among the "maid's quarters", main laundry and a second kitchen - so any cinema goer would be well taken care of. In case your snack of choice isn't stocked in the underground kitchen, or the bar that lines the back of the home theatre, you can always take a lift up to any of the home's other floors.
The home cinema has a tiered layout, just like a commercial cinema, so it can accommodate many viewers.
According to its listing, this six bedroom, seven bathroom house was designed by Grouse Fleming Bates Architects to mimic luxury hotels.

The current owners of this home cinema have decked it out with real red cinema chairs - complete with flip up seats and cup holders. The cinema includes a kitchenette area for snacks and a projector installed on the ceiling.
The wall mounted screen rolls up, as do the blackout blinds behind the seats, so the room can be used as a conventional living area or rumpus room.
The cinema sits in a five bedroom, five bathroom house that is currently on the market.

Every room of this oceanside Western Australian home is decked out in champagne tones, shine and sparkle, and its home cinema is no exception.
The cinema has 10 electronic leather seats, sound proof padded walls, and an "award winning ceiling" (according to the listing), featuring twinkling lights.

If you enjoy knocking back champagne and lollies while watching Avatar, this is the home for you. Its home cinema comes with nine Moran recliner chairs and a separate bar, with surround sound.
There's also an in-door heated pool, spa and sauna room with a waterfall feature and "State of the Art" stainless steel sculptures, in case you need to take some time out from your three hour viewing.
The house's agents are currently accepting expressions of interest.

 At the movies: Five stunning home theatres

A double-storey 1980s Beaumaris house designed by architect Andre Piotrowski didn't sell at weekend auction.
It was last sold in 2002 for $920,000 by the architect.
Its Brutalist features come from the extensive use of concrete on exterior surfaces. 
It came with $1.35 million plus hopes but was passed in at $1,385,000 <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-beaumaris-117487643" target="_blank">through </a><a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-beaumaris-117487643" target="_blank">Michael Cooney at Hodges Beaumaris</a>.
The four bedroom 1982-built property at 1 Olinda Avenue sits on a 651 square metre corner with a resort-style pool.

White homes can provide a valuable sense of space and light, but not everyone believes that brighter is better.
Property Observer looks at six outstanding homes with black façades. Will an all black exterior alienate some buyers? Almost certainly - though it didn't hurt the sale of this <a href="/expert-insights/investing/pre-auction-2-million-deal-for-kings-cross-special-offering">this 'special' Kings Cross offering</a> which secured $2 million pre-auction. And as the late Australian architect Kevin Borland once said, "architecture is not for the faint hearted".

Rather than combating its sloping site in the Mornington Peninsula's Golf Course, the Ridge Road Residence works with the topography, sitting over a series of connected decks. The entire front side of the home made entirely of blackened timber walls and the second level is unseen. On the lower levels, the home's black exterior is offset by floor to ceiling windows, pale timber floors and, outside, a single tea tree.

The small firm, which practices in Perth and Rome, designed a black home which winds around one Karri and two Marri trees. The house features double height ceilings, with large windows giving the residents views of the trees from the living room and master bedroom. The home is entirely clad with plywood, both inside and out (although the interior misses out on the coat of black paint). The house has exposed wooden ceiling beams and is insulated by concealed straw bales inside the walls.

The house's dramatic exterior is made of cement sheeting. The Klein Bottle House won the World's Best House award in the 2009 World Architecture Festival, the Best International Home award from Grand Designs 2010, the 2008 Robyn Boyd Award from the Australian Institute of Architects, and a Dulux Colour Award.

Black Friday: Six houses with black façades

<html><body>
Unusual and intriguing properties never cease to amaze.
This treehouse-style residence The Gulch has been handcrafted by its owners using 26 different species of wood.
The Queensland property, at <a href="https://www.raywhite.com/qld/gregory-river/1185821/" target="_blank">34 Gleneva Drive, Gregory River</a>, was bought by owners Owen and Irene Bailey 18 years ago and is on five acres of land.
Ray White Whitsunday selling agent Michael Barr said that Owen is a professional woods craftman and built the two bedroom, two bathroom home himself.
“Every tree that was taken down to make room for the home was used in the building of the home - it gives new meaning to the word treehouse,” said Barr.
A natural watercourse runs between the house and the pool.
“Owen and Irene built a suspension bridge over the watercourse to link the residence with the pool area,” he said.
“The pool area is perfect for entertaining with an undercover dining area and outdoor kitchen.”
The natural form of the timber was retained where possible, with benchtops, architraves and handrails hand polished by the couple.
The property respects the rainforest and its wildlife and complements the surrounding natural environment.
“Nothing like this home has sold in the area before - it’s truly one of a kind and an opportunity to secure your own slice of Whitsundays nature,” he said.
It will go to auction on 29 September at 6pm, with feedback through the campaign to be used to determine the value.
“I’ve never seen - or sold - anything like this property. There’s nothing like it in the area and to be honest, I have no idea what it’s worth. We’ll listen to what the market tells us to help place a value on the home,” he said.
The home includes an outdoor toilet near the pool area, a large pottery shed/workshop and a number of man-made dams.

Handcrafted Whitsunday treehouse to go under the hammer

<html><body>
The Boyd Baker House, one of the most important Robin Boyd-designed homes, was passed in at $1.21 million when auctioned on the weekend.
Only ever having two owners in 50 years, The Boyd Baker House was commissioned by mathematician and academic, Dr Baker and completed in 1965.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-long+forest-117629831" target="_blank">The auction</a> was conducted by Jellis Craig Bennison Mackinnon agent Andrew Macmillan in conjunction with Kay &amp; Burton agent Alex Schiavo.
Bidding on the Boyd Baker House had been expected to start from $1.3 million and for the neighbouring late 1970s Dower House (with Grounds library) from $500,000, but it was not auctioned as it will be offered to the buyer of the main house.
The Boyd Baker House has been featured in Wallpaper magazine.
Armadale lawyer Peter Mitrakas, a Boyd fanatic, bought the house eight years ago for around $1.11 million.
The mid-century modernist heritage listed property is located on 7.7 hectares on a large scrubby bush block surrounded by the Long Forest Conservation Reserve.
The 1966 Long Forest Road house bears Boyd signatures internal courtyard and local stone finishes. Highly geometric in its form, it is a square building with small central pond.

The Georgian-designed Darlinghurst home of interior designer Darryl Gordon, the recent NZ shopping centre heir, fetched $1.66 million at its Bradfield Cleary mid-auction.
The 1838 Francis Street cottage close to Hyde Park had been listed with $1.3 million plus hopes.
The double-fronted home and office at <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/https://bradfieldcleary.com.au/4339021" target="_blank">16 Francis Street </a>cost $730,000 in 2001.
It is now adorned with his own classic style throughout the 117 square metre holding with rear garden space.
The listing followed Darryl Gordon's recent purchase of a Georgian homestead in Jamberoo on the NSW South Coast.
He paid $1.5 million through Elders Jamberoo agent Vivienne Marris, the first time the five hectare property has traded since it was built in 1858 for John Marks, the politician and Mayor of Kiama. 
Terragong at Jamberoo was part of the life of seven generations of the Marks family. The rendered bluestone homestead has four-metre high ceilings - some pressed metal, some timber; cedar doors and windows and many fireplaces of marble and tile.
Gordon also listed his restored <a href="/news/bluestone-or-sandstone-the-bedrock-of-inspiring-homes-he-said-she-said">Georgian-style blue stone cottage in Oberon</a> which was sold after being listed for $550,000.

With the winter energy bills rolling in, many home owners will be wondering if there might be a better way to keep their houses warm next winter.
Rammed earth homes are made from a compacted mix of locally available earth materials, including sand, clay and gravel. Though the building method is thousands of years old, it's particularly en vogue this century due to its durability and energy efficiency.
With a high thermal mass, rammed earth retains heat well, and is especially good for passive solar heating, to make the most of winter's rays. And by using already available materials that can be recycled, the construction of rammed earth homes is more sustainable than many other methods.
But the way rammed earth looks is one of its biggest bonuses. If you thought you had to sacrifice aesthetics for the environment, you're wrong - here are five homes to prove it.
<ol>
<li>
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-hawthorn-117733495" target="_blank">79 Berkeley Street Hawthorn, VIC </a> <img src="/images/2014/08/22/2.jpg" alt="">
 Though many people associate rammed earth with regional homes, this house in Melbourne's blue chip eastern suburbs proves that the material can work in urban settings. Designed in 2000 by Simon Swaney, the rammed earth walls of this home give it an organic sensibility in the middle of stuffy suburbia. The six bedroom, four bathroom home on a 1,284 square metre block includes an executive study, slab heating, a goods lift, a five car basement garage and cellar. <img src="/images/2014/08/22/johanna-aug-22-one.jpg" alt="">

<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-acreage+semi+rural-vic-johanna-117422595" target="_blank">155 Evans Track Johanna, VIC</a> <img src="/images/2014/08/22/3.jpg" alt=""> Spectacular views of Johanna beach are complimented by this single storey home's rammed earth walls. Designed by Nicholas Burns, the listing information describes this house as an "eco-sanctuary". The four bedroom house's minimalist interiors allow the rammed earth walls to make a quiet statement, but the home still comes with plenty of luxury features - a double sided fireplace, an underground temperate 1,500 bottle wine cellar, a Caesarstone kitchen and an outdoor shower. The home has been featured in the pages of Architectural and Design Magazine, Monument Magazine, and the Australian Financial Review. <img src="/images/2014/08/22/4.jpg" alt="">

<li>
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-wallington-117671019" target="_blank">11 -19 Lings Wallington, VIC</a> <img src="/images/2014/08/22/5.jpg" alt=""> Jurra is a four bedroom, three bathroom house set on five acres. Constructed of timber and rammed earth with polished concrete floors and double glazed windows, the home's building materials make good use of its northerly orientation, which helps keep it warm in winter. With a native garden and pool, the property also includes a vegetable garden, chook pen, shedding, and a 87,000 litre water tank. <img src="/images/2014/08/22/6.jpg" alt=""> 
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-acreage+semi+rural-vic-merrijig-117499011" target="_blank">"Solterra" Davies Road Merrijig, VIC</a> <img src="/images/2014/08/22/7.jpg" alt=""> Solterra offers views of Mount Buller and the Delatite River Valley, but is also quite the eyecatcher itself. The rammed earth home has expansive glass walls and heavy doses of Italian travertine marble and iron bark timbers. The 400 square metre home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three living rooms and an art gallery. Outside, there is a white mosaic infinity pool and a iron bark deck, with a landsacped garden. It's on the market with a price guide of $2.49 million. <img src="/images/2014/08/22/8.jpg" alt=""> 
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-wa-dalkeith-117735795" target="_blank">2A Watkins Road Dalkeith, WA</a> <img src="/images/2014/08/22/9.jpg" alt=""> This Tim Wright-designed home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. This rammed earth home among the gum trees is set on a 824 square metre block. Again, the interiors are restrained, with polished concrete ceilings, high ceilings and over-height glass doors allowing the home's materials, natural light and gardens to speak for themselves. The property includes a feature wood fireplace, an internal courtyard and a solar heated pool. <img src="/images/2014/08/22/10.jpg" alt="">

Five spectacular homes that prove there's no need to sacrifice aesthetics for the environment

<html><body>
Some 95 years after selling its first artwork in Melbourne, Leonard Joel, Melbourne's oldest auction house, will make its Sydney art auction debut this weekend.
It will be at its new Woollahra salesroom, part of the expansionary moves by managing director John Albrecht.
Albrecht says his leased Sydney premises at<a href="https://leonardjoel.com.au/public/files/files/LEONARD%20May%20Issue%2028%20LR%20Spread(1).pdf" target="_blank"> 39 Queen Street, Woollahra</a>, “retains the original character and atmosphere of a 19th-century auction room”.
<img src="/images/2014/08/22/leonard-joeal-aug-22-two.jpg" alt="">
Photo: (L-R) John Williams and John D'agata of Leonard Joel.
Its refurbished rooms in Sydney have two distinct gallery spaces and catering facilities, with exhibition space able to be hired out.
John D’agata, the head of the Sydney office, acknowledges that the precinct was "once the antique precinct of Sydney," but goes onto suggest Queen Street has now been transformed into the most vibrant collection of designer boutiques, fantastic cafes and eclectic homeware stores.
"Nonetheless the cultural heart of the street beats strongly with Leonard Joel Sydney at number 39, sitting squarely amongst it all," he said. <a href="https://sam.leonardjoel.com.au" target="_blank">The auction is on Sunday August 24</a>.
<img src="/images/2014/08/22/leonard-joeal-aug-22.jpg" alt="">
<img src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg" alt="flagtitletat" width="25" height="34" style="font-size: 14px; margin: 5px; float: left;">The Sotheby's premium art auction-house bought last year on Queen Street, Woollahra spending $2.75 million on the former shop of the interior decorator, Ros Palmer.
 The purchase of the 200 square metres of retail space reversed the recent trend of Woollahra's Queen Street fast becoming fashion central as its Dickensian antique dealers departed.
Ms Palmer relocated to Launceston where she has an antiques shop in Longford, south of Launceston, called Parkview Antiques. 
Ros Palmer, who helped furnish the Lodge in Canberra, had initial $4 million plus hopes in 2010.
The <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-retail-nsw-woollahra-500616075" target="_blank">30 Queen Street premises </a>(pictured below) in Sydney's eastern suburbs sold through Bill Bridges and Meagan Pokorny of Ballard Property Group.
<img src="/images/2014/08/22/woollahra%20aug%2022%20one.jpg" alt="">
The Sotheby's syndicate bought it through Woollahra Land Investments, which is directed by the art division Sotheby's Australian chairman and vice chairman, Geoffrey Smith and Samuel Cullen.
Sotheby's has been renting elsewhere on Queen Street for decades. 
The shop was last traded at $2.2 million in 2000.
Shapiro Auctioneers are at 162 Queen Street, taking the space that had been with Phillips International Auctioneers and Valuers.
