FORBES, NEW YORK STATE OF MIND
The evocative new Melbourne workspace of Forbes Global Property (FGP), part of the Forbes media family, mediates a sublime blend of design-driven contemporary and classic elements with nuanced intent, reflective of the global property market in which it moves and the high-net-worth world around it. Inspired by private penthouse living of Fifth Avenue and the immersive ambience of a chic, small hotel lobby, the group has taken an inherently personal approach to the composition of the space, requiring it to be as workable for a coffee meeting at 9am as it is for a glass of wine at 9pm – an approach that drove the development of a stunning circular bar, a key element of the space.
The partners set about engaging interior specialist Swee Design, architecture and design practice Studio Griffiths and builders Easton with a brief to create spaces that are emotional rather than transactional, in which they could conduct conversations and not deals. “We wanted a space that spoke to our world – somewhere residential and beautiful and personal,” says Tracey Atkins, a partner and director of FGP Australian Pacific. “The budget was tight and the timeline was “tomorrow” but they all seemed to thrive on that challenge and on knowing that they were doing something quite new in our industry.”
“The furniture selection is curvaceous and enveloping, in deep inky jewel tones with a richly layered material palette of marble, tan leather, ebonised timber and velvets to create a luxurious moody ‘club’ ambience conducive to intimate and expansive conversation,” says Swee Lim of Swee Design.
There’s a duality to the space, with the idea of a home office flipped to create an ‘office home,’ and as part of Forbes, the group were strongly focussed on the space having the ability to host media style events and conversations, including hosting private dinners with inspiring people from the local and global Forbes network, with the custom-made dining table is testament to this, also serving as the main boardroom table as well as hosting dinners.
“For us at Studio Griffiths, the most important aspect of the design brief was about the people and how they would inhabit the spaces. We were also extremely keen to tell a story in a way that resonates with employees and clients alike,” says Gil Griffiths, Creative Director & Principal Designer of Studio Griffiths. “The idea was always to delineate the large spatial area into two rooms – residential (for client entertaining) and an open-plan workspace to promote collaboration and communication among employees,” she adds.
“The adaptable range of spaces allows for us to host a quiet one-on-one chat in the corner at the same time a full-scale presentation is going on at the boardroom table and a film is being edited in the creative space,” Tracey adds.
Jordan Easton, Project Manager, Easton shares his thoughts on the project, “Our approach to this project was to be more than just a builder. We wanted to deeply understand the design intent and client brief, so that we could collaboratively workshop the construction methodology to create a world class space for the benefit of PPG Forbes Global Properties,”
Reflecting on the group realising their vision for the space Tracey adds “We really set out to make our clients feel like they’re in ‘their’ space; a client came in only today and said he felt like he was in a private club. “There is no underplaying the thrill of welcoming someone here for the first time and seeing their reaction.”

Introducing Easton Colab
Six months ago, you would have driven past the intersection of High Street and Belford Road Kew without so much as turning your head. It would be impossible to drive past that same intersection now and not be immediately intrigued by the Garfield orange box with large Easton lettering in black. The site at 559 High Street Kew East has a long history. First purchased by Craig Easton in 2002 as the home of Easton Builders. The site was previously a mechanics garage with two large roller doors on the Belford Rd side of the site. Half of the site was used as a joinery workshop, where our in-house joiner, Wes Scroczynski worked (still working for Easton today, 22 years later!). The other half of the site was home to Easton Builders office team.
In 2013 Easton Builders vacated the site in favour of an office in Toorak Village, where the Easton team could closely oversee major developments on Mathoura Road Toorak, the Manhattan Apartments and world-renowned Palais Toorak. During this time, the site at High Street Kew was leased as a medical facility. The interior was frankly an uninspiring, sterile environment with fluorescent lighting and plain white plastered walls. In 2023, under a refreshed team of Directors, Easton again took possession of the site and undertook a major renovation, to take it from a clinical medical centre to the bright and bold architectural statement that it is today. It was a unique and exciting undertaking with Easton playing the role of Client, Project Manager and Builder.
The scope of works included demolition of the interior of the building, including partition walls, wall coverings and all striping out all existing electrical and plumbing. Installation of a cork ceiling throughout in a predominantly double height roof space. Creation of unisex bathrooms (3) and end of trip facilities – all DDA compliant. Inclusion of “Room” telephone booth from Infinity Commercial Furniture – serving as a private space for phone calls, or focused working. New electrical and plumbing was installed throughout and the inclusion of a high-tech Delos wellness system to create the healthiest working environment possible.
From the moment you arrive at the Easton office, using your FOB for seamless electronic entry – the roller doors draw up at the press of the button and light pours in. You are already breathing in clean air via the Delos advanced air purification system and lighting within the building has been set to mimic circadian rhythms – all features which may be little noticed to the eye but are designed to provide you with the healthiest working environment. Step into the technology enabled boardroom, connect to the Easton wi-fi guest network securely and use the Logitech Barco to wirelessly control boardroom television for presentations.
Another special feature is the installation of the stone in the kitchen. To achieve the radius of the stone and the circular legs of the kitchen bench took special expertise and we were grateful to have the experience of Parthenon Marble. Parthenon marble and Easton’s have two generations of history working together. The operable overhead joinery installation creates a multi-purpose kitchen. The joinery slides from left to right, revealing coffee mugs and bowls on one side, and a well stocked bar on the other, ready to slide open for a fitting celebration, such as an MBAV awards win. There is no lack in high-end finishes with the showstopper being the Signorino marble kitchen bench, a 20mm thick, Natural Stone Travertine in Alkos, a warm orangey-red colour. The sheer radius of this dreamy kidney triangular shaped bench is impressive, as are the thick circular legs of the bench all created from the same stone. The detail in the kitchen is an innovation in itself, displaying the Easton standard of high quality finishes. In the mornings, it’s a breakfast bar – or a spot to share a coffee, at lunch it’s a hive of activity with plenty of shared conversation. It’s the perfect space to host a function – with the operable joinery pushed aside to hide the bowls and coffee mugs and make space for champagne glasses and a bar, ready to entertain.
Moving into the main open area, which extends to a double height space, there are 10 sit/stand co-working desks with nearby lockable filling cabinets. Tucked under the upstairs mezzanine are two private meeting rooms, or rentable private team offices. The Installation of glazing partitions in this space creates the private meeting spaces and a boardroom, all of which borrow light from the opening of the original roller doors. Sheer curtains in each room, allow for warmth and privacy without blocking light. Stand out construction features include extending the mezzanine to give us a new floor plate. The perforated metal balustrade that provides the edge of the mezzanine was hand welded in-house.
The existing mezzanine was extended to create a larger useable floorplate, this also creates the more private Easton team office area. Perforated metal balustrade act as both a physical barrier to the mezzanine level but also creates privacy whilst still allowing light to reach the upper level of the building. A kitchenette on this level mirrors the main kitchen and acts as the perfect area for making hot and cold drinks during the day.
Fitout of the new Easton Office was completed over a 10-week period under the guidance of Brodie Easton as Project Manager and Russell Tozer as Site Foreman. Acting as client and builder for this project brought with it both challenges and opportunities as our own client, a highlight for us was there very few changes to our scope and plans meaning the project was streamlined and able to be delivered in a short timeframe, with no variations and minimal fuss!
We had a great understanding of where we could save on our budget, and where it would be most impactful to spend. As clients, Andrew Parr challenged us to step away from the safety of the ‘everyday’ empowering us to embrace colour and boldness and let this unassuming old garage punch above it weight.
For a modest budget of $400,000, this once lifeless medical centre has been re-birthed into a bold building that invites curiosity from the moment of your first glance. In our signature style as builders, we have demonstrated that clever applications of finishes can assist with cost savings in the budget, that then make way for the possibility of those -spare-no-expense details, the showstoppers. The cork found on the ceiling and upstairs wall, is an economical product that also happens to be very practical. The cork is good looking, adding warmth to the space, it’s practical as an office material – it can literally be pinned directly into and most of all, it has exceptional acoustic properties. The floor treatment was also an excellent example of a cost saving finish – the concrete slab was simply given an epoxy treatment and painted in a dulux ‘Ice pack blue’.
We think the greatest value for money created is the union between two firms with a long history of collaboration – the partnership between SJB and Easton allowed for a deep trust and understanding, and for us all to focus our efforts on creating a building that makes you feel good. Value was also unlocked via the quality workmanship and collaborative nature of our trades, who we have extensive long-term relationships with and were all keen to deliver a stand out project for us.
The site presented some design challenges, the main one being the windowless nature of the old mechanic’s garage. It would be easy to see how others might choose to demolish and re-build in these circumstances, however we chose to look at the upsides this brick box provided. The strong boundary walls make you feel hidden away from the bustling street and traffic outside. With the roller doors maintained, lock them up at night for total security, but thrown open during the day to let light flow freely into the building.
Much of the design was centred around using the available light – glass dividers in meeting rooms, perforated balustrades, sheer curtains. The materials allow for privacy and intimacy but are all pointing to the same goal – light and warmth.

Square Peg Office Fitout, Cremorne
Square Peg Capital are a Venture Capital Fund that “empower the exceptional” in Australia, Israel and Southeast Asia. Providing both financial backing and collaborative support and leadership to some of the world’s most exceptional talent.
Our clients wanted to be in the official heart of tech startups, Cremorne, a suburb which was named in 2020 as a center for innovation, technology, and high-skilled jobs. Already home to four of Australia’s tech “unicorns” including MYOB, REA Group, Carsales and Seek, Square Peg is right at home in this Global Innovation Precinct.
The building itself is a 380m2 warehouse on a small block just off Church Street. Previously used as a totally open warehouse shell with large roller doors and an expansive open interior with a few small private offices.
Our brief was to transform the building into a stylish creative space which is both professional and flexible, with access to excellent technology and amenities. We needed to create an open plan office environment for concentrated working, alongside more intimate spaces for meetings or phone calls and a high-tech room with AV facilities to enable our client to regularly keep in contact with their contacts all over the world.
Upon entering you are greeted by crisp white brickwork, warm timber joinery and bursts of green in the décor. An open sitting area with a custom joinery piece is central to the entrance area and the wall is adorned with an honor roll of startups that Square Peg has had a hand in growing.
Beyond the joinery lies open plan desks and floor to ceiling factory style windows which have an operable and traditional factory style roller door. A brand new kitchen draws you in with its deep green cabinetry and show-stopper island benchtop. The Da Vinci marble benchtop has a rich green vein running through it, which beautifully complements the adjacent joinery units. Due to the size of the benchtop, we required two separate slabs of stone which were hand selected and purchased. Pazzi Marble have been able to perfectly ‘book match’ both slabs to make it look like one piece of stone.
At the other end of the open space is a large timber box-like structure which houses the Conference Room. This room features sheer drapes and sliding doors to create a calm and more private space. All the furniture and colours throughout were expertly selected by designers SJB, who worked with the client using their existing art collection as inspiration for the color scheme.
A major challenge with this build was bringing in services to where we needed them but doing so in a way that was as hidden as possible due to the open plan layout. We decided to install timber cladded service trays, which enabled us to run all cabling and pipework to its desired location without having any impact on aesthetics or design intent.
The toilets were given a full refresh and a small windowless room originally dubbed the dungeon has now been given a full refurbishment with acoustic treatment to serve as a private phone booth or quiet creative space. The outdoor area doubles as a private carpark and sunny courtyard, both securely positioned behind a large architectural gate, perfect for an afternoon BBQ or staff celebration.

Delatite Winery Cellar Door and Dining Room
At the base of the Victorian High Country, ten minutes outside Mansfield, you will find a picturesque plot of land looking upwards to Mt Buller. Equally as glorious a view in both summer and winter, this land has been in the hands of the Ritchie family for three generations.
Gifted some bundles of cuttings from Jim Irvine, a legendary winemaker from South Australia in 1967, Vivenne Ritchie the matriarch of the family popped the cuttings in the vegetable patch and went on with their normal farming activities. Four years later, Vivienne made their first batch of wine, using a small press and a baby’s bath.
Robert and Vivenne Ritchie believed the wine showed promise but were aware in order to make it viable, they were going to need some help. They approached John Brown from Brown Brothers and within the following year their first batch of commercial wine was made. The Ritchie family still own and operate the winery today and are well established amongst the industry.
The client’s brief was to create a functional and beautiful space that allows wine lovers to ’drink in’ the breathtaking views and was a significant step up from the original modest 1980s cellar that the Delatite Winery had now outgrown. The space needed to be appropriate for all seasons, hold a greater capacity of customers whilst ensuring the design and build is of the highest quality and sustainable.
Lucy Clemenger Architects were appointed for their significant sustainability credentials and have done a remarkable job at bringing the brief to life. This project is a real testament to an excellent relationship between client, architects and builder which developed throughout the early project control group meetings and was bolstered by the live-in nature of our Easton project team who resided in Mansfield for the duration of the nine-month construction timeline.
It’s common for clients to have difficulty visualising the result of a project, even with the best visual planning. This can be an uncomfortable experience and something that we as builders try to assist with. Many projects are ‘once in a lifetime’ builds for our clients. It is imperative to us to create something that matches the client’s expectations. Easton were able to provide extensive access to materials and a wide range of fixtures and finish samples to allow our clients the ability to gain a more tactile understanding of how the materials would come together.
A fitting example of this is selecting the brick mortar that would be used extensively throughout the brickwork – by providing color samples and creating a small brickwork test case, the Delatite team could see how the final mortar selection would look against the bricks selected once dry, giving them confidence to make a final decision.
The bricks themselves are a highlight of the project. A product called Timbercrete had caught the eye of Project Architect Lucy Clemenger, who had heard of this product due to its excellent sustainability properties. The Easton team really enjoyed working with this product which is a hybrid blend of natural organic material combined with masonry binders. It combines the structural qualities of masonry with the resilient qualities of timber. Our team found it easy to cut and shape and the final look is unique and exceptionally beautiful - the colour is a sandy mud colour which certainly fit the brief in creating an overall look that tied in with the amazing landscape. Given the timber properties of Timbercrete, the product does require a curing time to reduce any movement. It was ordered ahead of time and sat on site for 3 months prior to use to fully acclimatise to the specific environment it will be used in.
Other sustainability features of this project include extensive solar panels allowing Delatite to be completely gas-free, with an exceedingly small power consumption footprint. Toilets are not connected to sewerage mains and instead use a clever septic system that sees everything return to the earth. The building was carefully oriented towards natural light and the Timbercrete product used for most of the building walls has excellent thermal properties meaning the requirement for heating and cooling is minimised. Every finish, down to the oil applied to all the timber (LO VOC Cutek – a low toxin oil), was carefully considered to have the least environmental impact.
Driving into the winery has a real sense of arrival as you curl through vineyards and up towards an elevated area where the structure of the building stretches out before you as a light-mud-colored brick wall with large timber door that pivots open to reveal your first view of the Victorian Alps.
As you walk through the door, you enter the first courtyard named ‘Vivienne’s courtyard’ where the amenities are accessible to the right and cellar door entrance to your left. Stepping into the cellar door you are greeted by the tasting bar; this is also fondly referred to as the ‘green room’ representing the green grapes used for white wine varieties. Sitting at the bar you can look out towards the glass windows again soaking in the Alpine view with a small wooden deck area.
The Delatite Winery Cellar Door entry
Moving further into the building you are invited in towards a large open fireplace with comfortable chairs and a boxed window seat which perfectly frames the exterior view providing another perspective. In this same area is the ‘museum wall’ a design stroke of genius from Lucy Clemenger which uses the Timbercrete bricks in a vertical pattern creating an almost sawtooth effect and perfectly highlighting some incredible workmanship from the Easton team and let us not forget the wine – which is the real hero here!
Tucked behind the museum wall is the commercial kitchen and a working office space. To the right of the museum wall is the dining room, dubbed the red room, referring to Delatite’s delicious red grapes. It is a very elegant space, made warm by the extensive use of blackbutt timber lining and Timbercrete features internally. The dining room is set back allowing for a deeper deck area which now spills out onto the rolling grass hill beneath and those ever-presenting views.
A stand-out element of this space that is not at all obvious to the eye is the acoustic properties of the space. This was raised by Construction Manager Brodie Easton early in our control group meetings. Brodie realised during construction that the materials selected could create an environment where sound bounced around and so suggested an Acoustic Report be carried out. This resulted in a complex layering of materials on the roof to create an ideal environment where noise and reverberation is kept to a minimum. By spacing out the lining boards in the ceiling (an impressive carpentry feat in itself) this allowed sound to travel through the ceiling and be caught, eliminating any noise reverberating from the tasting bar and dining room.
The layering includes:
· Roof sheet
· Roof trusses
· Insulation
· Double layer of Plasterboard
· Gap Insulation
· Acoustic fabric
· Blackbutt Slats
· Substantial Amount of Caulking
This manner of design allowed the noise to be blocked both ways – from above and below, an acknowledgment that a sense of quiet can have a significant impact on the ambiance of a venue such as this, particularly one that aims to be a serene and relaxing place to visit.
As a builder, we were also able to provide our “Easton standard” of value management. This is something we deeply pride ourselves on and reflects values of honest and relationship-based building advice. We were able to reduce costs in some areas where we value managed the finishes and then providing our clients with the option to instead spend on other high impact areas of the project. For example, we used Blackbutt timber extensively (almost exclusively – aside from Victorian Ash window frames) as this suited the overall look and provided cost savings over other timbers considered in the early stages of the project.
A special mention to our excellent Easton team who all lived in a rental property in Mansfield for the duration of construction leaving families and friends behind to completely dedicate themselves to this project. The work with timber in this project is extensive and a great testament to highly experienced carpentry. Great job to all involved!

Australian Design Review follows the journey of our Toorak Project
Australian Design Review (ADR) has today launched a teaser trailer for upcoming series The Toorak Project.
Set to appear on the website in 2019 and 2020, The Toorak Project is a series of videos detailing the concept to completion of a remarkable SJB-designed ‘mega house’ in the Melbourne suburb of Toorak.
Commisioned by an international client living in Hong Kong, the project is a unique one for SJB, explains architect Fei Chau. “They’ve actually just handed over the building to us and said, ‘we trust you’ and I’ve never had that before,” he says.
The series will follow each stage of the journey from the design through to the specs, the build and the completed house.
Check out the trailer below.
Hawthorn mansion Avon Court to challenge Victorian record price
A SPRAWLING Hawthorn mansion described as “one of Melbourne’s finest”— with an 18-seat teppanyaki kitchen, two pools, a ballroom and a special bathroom treat for Tigers footy fans — could break the state’s house price record. Take a look.
A SPRAWLING Hawthorn mansion could break Victoria’s house price record after being put up for sale off market with an eye-watering $45-$50 million price tag.
Featuring nine bedrooms, seven kitchens, seven bathrooms and two pools, the four-storey ‘Avon Court’ at 18-20 Shakespeare Grove will challenge the $52.5 million benchmark set by Malvern’s Stonington Mansion earlier this year, according to the agent.
An 18-seat teppanyaki kitchen, Victorian ballroom, 4000-plus bottle wine cellar, 10-car garage and two rooftop terraces with city views are other jaw-dropping inclusions at the lavish trophy home.
The 4645sq m property shares a fence with ex-Australia Post boss Ahmed Fahour’s own Hawthorn mansion at 21 Coppin Grove, which was listed for $40-$44 million last week.
Former Richmond Football Club president Clinton Casey sold the luxe Avon Court to Autobarn co-founder Garry Dumbrell for $20.25 million in 2009, who in turn sold it to the vendors, a local family, for $19.8 million in 2014, CoreLogic records show.
An image of Tigers legend Jack Dyer is tiled into one of the bathrooms.
The Advocates property advocate Tony Rindfleisch said Avon Court was “like nothing else.”
“Most people will have never seen a home as spectacular as this. To say that the property is resort-style is a huge understatement. There are not too many resorts as high quality or as luxurious as this,” he said.
“The home’s historic features step back in time and blend magnificently with ultra-modern finishes. It has everything that any owner could ever want — and much more.
Cashed-up local and international buyers are expected to compete for the right to enjoy an 18-seat private cinema, library, billiards room and bar, gym, sauna, “flower room” and staff quarters close to the Yarra River.
RT Edgar agent Helena Chow said the property was “one of Melbourne’s finest” and would challenge the Victorian record because of its sheer size.
“The building area is 218 squares (2025sq m) approximately — so it’s got a lot of house,” she said, adding four trees surrounding a front garden fountain were bought for $25,000 each by the previous owner, who also splashed $250,000 on an “outdoor non-glare 10ft television.”
The property is for sale by expressions of interest with no fixed closing date.
Ms Chow said the vendors were a private family who were selling because the place had become “too big for them.”
