02 HOME TOUR Interior designer Claudia Lambert’s home fuses fun and functionality, alongside her own personal style and hard-won design principles. WORDS: Olivia Storrie PHOTOGRAPHY: Hannah Blackmore INTERIOR DESIGN: Claudia Lambert Interiors Perfectly Playful

SITCHU MAGAZINE Interior designer Claudia Lambert of Claudia Lambert Interiors has curated some of Sydney’s most design-forward homes. Known for her use of colour, art and sculptural features, unsurprisingly she’s not one for traditional design conventions. Regarding her own home, this fusion of practicality and playfulness is exactly what you can expect. A distillation of her design philosophy, Claudia’s personal space is rich with lessons for interior lovers, starting with her approachable theory of the “space lift”. It’s a term she uses to describe the idea that a full-scale renovation isn’t required to shift the feel of a room or create a meaningful change in a space. Claudia elaborates, “People often assume the answer is to rip everything out, when sometimes the bones are perfectly good; the room just needs another point of view. It can be paint, moving the furniture, changing the scale of an artwork, adding one extraordinary chair or lamp, taking things away, or simply using what you already own differently.” “My own house is probably the best example of it because I’ve continually done that here,” she continues. “I haven’t treated the house as a finished design project frozen at one moment in time. It changes. I move art, repaint, swap pieces between rooms and rethink things. A home should be allowed to evolve with the people living in it.” Offering a word of advice for those unsure where to start in their own homes, Claudia notes that in place of settling on a style, she tends to begin a room’s journey with objects, art and furniture. “There are vintage pieces, contemporary pieces, things I’ve had forever, things I’ve found quite randomly, and things that probably shouldn’t work together but somehow do. I’m much more interested in that tension than having everything belong to the same era or aesthetic.” “My advice is not to dilute a colour you really love because you’re scared of it. One strong pink wall can be much more sophisticated than adding ten little pink accessories around a room. — Claudia Lambert 03

In my house there are actually large areas that are quite neutral, and that gives the stronger colours somewhere to land. My advice is not to dilute a colour you really love because you’re scared of it. One strong pink wall can be much more sophisticated than adding ten little pink accessories around a room. Commit to it, then give it some space. And don’t feel you have to repeat a colour endlessly for it to ‘make sense.’” Claudia goes on to explain, “The pink in my bedroom changes completely depending on the light. It has this slightly dirty, sophisticated quality rather than feeling sugary or overtly feminine. And then I put that enormous black-and-white artwork against it, which completely changes the conversation. The black gives the pink some toughness. That’s often how I use colour, finding the thing that stops it becoming too pretty.” Central to Claudia’s approach is that a home is never finished. Nor should it be. “That’s probably one of my favourite things about having collected over time; the house is never really finished.” A caveat, however, is that a good edit is essential for the collector. “I’ve learnt that a room often becomes stronger when you remove something rather than add something else.” “After years of collecting, editing becomes as important as buying. Not everything I own needs to be out at once. I’ll move something from one room to another, and suddenly it feels completely new again,” she adds. Leaving us with a final word of wisdom, Claudia points out, “A house must be lived in. Full stop. I have two boys, so nothing here can be so precious that everyone is terrified of touching it.” She adds, “For me, comfort doesn’t mean compromising aesthetically. The sofa can be incredibly comfortable and have a beautiful shape. A dining chair can be sculptural, and somewhere you actually want to sit through dinner. I think the best interiors don’t make you choose between the two.” Shop the look with our curated edit, inspired by Claudia’s colour-filled home.

The idea of the family home is changing. As housing becomes less affordable and families navigate different stages of life, more people are considering how a property can accommodate more than one generation. For some, that might mean adult children staying at home for longer. For others, it could mean bringing ageing parents closer or creating a separate space for grandparents while maintaining independence. SITCHU MAGAZINE Looking for more tips for your property, or thinking about buying or selling your home? Visit hockingstuart.com.au/buy It Starts with the Right Home A home designed for multigenerational living does not necessarily need a separate dwelling. Multiple living areas, additional bathrooms, a second entrance, a bedroom away from the main living zone or a flexible rumpus room can make it easier for different generations to share a home without feeling as though everyone is living on top of one another. When inspecting a property, consider whether the multi-generational house plan looks beyond the number of bedrooms, how the spaces connect, and whether areas could eventually serve a different purpose. When a Granny Flat Makes Sense For some families, a separate granny flat can offer another level of independence. “Demand is still very strong,” says Tanya Hayes, General Manager of Bungalow Homes, a Sydney-based granny flat builder. “As housing becomes less affordable, people are looking for ways to give their kids independence.” That can work in several ways. Parents may move into the granny flat while their adult children and their families occupy the main house. Alternatively, the granny flat might provide accommodation for an adult child, an ageing parent or another family member. What Should You Look For in a Property? If you are buying with the possibility of adding a granny flat, the block can be just as important as the house itself. “Your ideal situation is to find a property that meets CDC (Complying Development Certificate) requirements, but if it doesn’t, it’s not necessarily a dealbreaker,” Tanya says. A Development Application may still provide a pathway where a property does not meet the requirements for complying development. This could include a granny flat above a garage where height requirements become an issue, or properties where zoning considerations affect what can be built. There are also practical considerations that can make a significant difference. “Stormwater can be a dealbreaker, and potentially landscaping,” Tanya says. Easements can restrict where a granny flat can be positioned, while trees may also affect what is possible depending on the council area. Before purchasing, it is worth checking the property’s zoning, planning controls and relevant overlays through your relevant state government planning portal. Access is another consideration that can easily be overlooked. “Good backyard access for construction machinery is a bonus,” Tanya says. It is Not Just About Adding Another Dwelling For families considering multigenerational living, there are several ways to approach it. You might choose a home that already has multiple living zones and private spaces, look for a property with potential to reconfigure existing rooms, or buy with the longer-term possibility of adding a granny flat. The right option will depend on the family, the property and how the home needs to work now—as well as in the years ahead. Sharing a property can make it easier to support ageing parents, help adult children establish themselves or share household and caring responsibilities. But privacy also matters. Different routines, parenting styles, entertaining habits and expectations around household responsibilities can create tension when there are no spaces to retreat to. Thoughtful design can make all the difference. Think Beyond the Floorplan Perhaps the greatest advantage of a multigenerational home is its ability to change. “The biggest benefit is the flexibility over time as circumstances change,” Tanya says. A granny flat that initially houses parents could later become a space for older children. It could eventually allow homeowners to downsize while their children and grandchildren occupy the main house or become a source of rental income. The same thinking applies when buying a conventional family home. A second living area might become a teenage retreat today, a home office tomorrow and accommodation for an ageing parent further down the track. Ultimately, generational living is less about finding a property that perfectly suits one stage of life and more about finding one with enough flexibility to evolve. The most useful family home may not simply be the one that fits your life today, but the one that has room to change with you.

Neighbourhood South Yarra rarely behaves like a single suburb. Around Domain, Victorian streets run towards Fawkner Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens; closer to the station, the skyline rises before spilling into the shopfronts of Toorak Road and Chapel Street. France-Soir is still filling tables four decades in, while new trattorias, wine bars and bathhouses keep arriving around it. Families come for established schools, leafy streets and larger homes; younger buyers for the dining, culture and walkability; downsizers for the rare combination of amenity and green space. Toorak Road is having an especially good run, with restaurant and bar spending climbing and shop vacancies falling. The Yarra, three tram routes, the train station and Capital City Trail make daily life unusually easy, which goes some way to explaining why South Yarra real estate is so tightly held. Things to Do South Yarra rewards a free afternoon. Walk the Tan beneath the trees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, follow the Yarra towards Richmond or spend a slower hour exploring Como House, where the 1847 mansion opens for guided tours and the surrounding gardens remain free to wander. There is plenty indoors, too. The Commons Health Club South Yarra has transformed a restored coffee palace into a handsome home for reformer classes, hot magnesium pools, cold plunges, steam and sauna, while Palace Cinema Como screens arthouse releases, international film festivals and films with dinner upstairs in Platinum. Chapel Street and Toorak Road cover fashion, furniture and independent retail, with speciality coffee, bakeries and wine bars making it easy to turn an errand into half a day. Add Fawkner Park, Como Park and the riverside paths and there is very little reason to run out of plans. Lifestyle Living in South Yarra is largely about proximity. Chapel Street carries the louder pulse, with restaurants, bars, boutiques and late-night trade; Toorak Road feels more polished, lined with dining rooms, grocers and shops; Domain Road moves at a gentler pace beside the gardens, with cafes and neighbourhood institutions woven through its blocks. The appeal is having almost everything close at hand. School runs, morning coffee, grocery shopping, dinner reservations and Saturday drinks can all happen within a few streets of home. Apartments sit beside Victorian terraces and substantial family houses, giving the suburb a broad mix of residents and rhythms. The CBD is close enough for an easy commute, but daily life rarely depends on it. South Yarra feels social, established and self-contained, with enough change to stay interesting and enough familiarity to feel settled. South Yarra has a wonderful balance of energy and tranquillity. There’s an elegance to its streets and architecture, yet it remains vibrant and welcoming, with exceptional restaurants, shopping, green spaces and the Yarra River all close by. It’s a truly distinctive suburb and a wonderful place to live. – Grant Wallace, Principal, Belle Property South Yarra AREA GUIDE 10 Storied South Yarra Old-school institutions, sharp new openings, river trails and serious wellness make inner-city South Yarra one of Melbourne’s most complete neighbourhoods.

Julietta The Mamasita team went small for Julietta: just 35 seats, burgundy banquettes, vintage brass lighting, pasta made onsite and a line-up of Negronis (try the Fig Negroni).
