The Melbourne MCM scene is abuzz at the moment at the listing of this AMAZING home on the real estate market! So who was Dr Ernest Fooks and why is this home so revered? That’s a story you can read on the Victorian Heritage Database or here from Secret Design Studio. Clearly, this is an […]
After a couple of negative posts it is great to find this amazing MCM home in Beaumaris that has just gone on the market! This home is set within the type of established garden that makes this area so great and the inside is in stunniong original condition! I love those floor tiles and all […]
Today’s MCM property comes with a desparate call to action. While browsing the real estate listings for wonders of MCM style, I noticed this home in Toorak that looked familiar. I’m pretty sure it was on the market not that long ago and probably featured on the Modernist Australia site that we all know and […]
It is really, really devastating to walk the streets of Beaumaris and witness first hand a bleak future for my beautiful suburb. As I am constantly writing, there are so many amazing examples of great mid-century architecture and style in this suburb. Unfortunately, so often these homes are bought and demolished without thought to how […]
Quite often you will find an amazing MCM home like this that is in such stunning original condition that you are taken back in time! Look out, I’m beginning to sound a little like a realestate agent! This home in Caulfield is in pretty good nick however, and looks pretty amazing with the original furniture, […]
After a couple of weeks further afield, my MCM property hunt finally comes back to Beaumaris! Just think what an amazing arrangement of mid-century modern furniture (Like examples here or here) could do to these wide open spaces!

A great piece from Dean at Australian Modern! The post-war period provided so many opportunities and innovative attitudes that led to such wonderful designs throughout architecture, furniture, interiors, landscapes, art and fashion. These are attitudes that we should be embracing to this day in the way we design the spaces we live in! “A well […]
While I’ve posted about a few modernist gardens throughout Melbourne (and Australia), I have yet to present my own. Maybe I am concerned about the scrutiny that surely comes when a landscape architect’s garden is not perfect or breath-taking! A few hours of work in the garden for my wife and I (while making the […]
It’s Easter time and that usually means it’s the last chance for Australian families to get away for a couple of days holiday before we hit Winter. And what better place to head to, than Victoria’s Surf Coast. While you’re there, why not inspect this MCM beauty! It could be that weekender you have always […]
For this week’s MCM property I have branched out a bit further than my usual stomping ground of Beaumaris. Not too far though, to Mentone. This home can be found in an area that was once the Mentone Racecourse. The Racecourse was closed and subdivided in 1972, which has created a pocket of stunning 1970s […]
