The Art of LIGHT

Plenty of people can build a structure. Of course, there can be a vast difference between that and what you would consider great craftsmanship, but what about the difference between something that’s good and something truly beautiful? That’s where discernment comes in — a keen eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to quality that must be present from the very beginning of a project. For Wayne Elkin of Sunwise Constructions, that difference is found in the subtleties and nuances that transform a simple glass enclosure into a masterpiece of design and light. Elkin doesn’t just build spaces; he crafts experiences. His work revolves around designing with light, not just space, bringing meaning, dimension, and purpose to structures that might otherwise just be merely functional. His passion for creating beautiful…

SESAME STREET & ME

Okay I’ll try to tell a story about my involvement with Sesame Street. I often find that when it comes to something I’m deeply fascinated with and particularly at the start of a collaboration when I am pooling ideas together, there is a bit of a mix between manic and calm. It is a kind of frenzy to start with, images appear in my head and before all components are organised (in this case, with the powers that be with Sesame Street in New York), I am already metaphorically running down the creative road with my wife Yuge - I’m making art, throwing pots with Graeme Richardson, starting to sculpt, working in fibreglass, bronze, steel and looking at fashion. IN relaying the story, I was talking into my phone as…

My Stay in PARADISE

There’s nothing quite like waking up to the sound of the ocean, especially when you’re in a tropical paradise with palm trees swaying outside your window. It truly feels like you’ve found a slice of heaven on earth - and that’s exactly the experience I had at Ombak Luwung Beachfront Estate in Canggu when I stayed there in June. We arrived in the evening and were warmly welcomed by the wonderful staff, who greeted us as soon as our car pulled up. Just like a luxury resort, we were guided down a beautifully lit garden pathway to the expansive living pavilion, where we were served welcome drinks and caught our first breathtaking glimpse of this paradise. Words and photos simply don’t do Ombak Luwung justice, it’s far more glorious in…

Warrandyte Winner

Awarded Australia’s Pool of the Year and Australia’s Best Pool and Spa Combination, this spectacular project created by MINT Design and constructed by TLC Pools exemplifies an outdoor living environment that has been beautifully integrated with both the home and the natural surrounds. For Scott Wynd, who is both a Director and Designer at MINT Design and also Director of TLC Pools, the accolades this project has received are particularly special as it’s his own home.
