When you buy a property next to a lake, framing water views seems like the natural design response. However, when the view is located in the opposite direction of the sun, a design dilemma ensues. 

Kennedy Nolan architects were faced with this predicament in a recent Ballarat project, calling for a masterful design response. Their solution – raise the home’s facade up a half-step to take advantage of the lake, while adding in north-facing clerestory windows throughout. These windows ensure ample natural light (important for navigating Ballarat’s cold winters), while the elevation facilitates lake views and privacy away from the adjacent busy road. 

Another key challenge was to give this brand new home a mid-century feel – almost impossible in a new build! Kennedy Nolan managed to achieve this in collaboration with their client, and builder Spence Construction. 

‘The client liked American looking ‘Brady Bunch’ style houses…. They also liked a subtropical vibe, which isn’t really appropriate for Ballarat,’ says Patrick Kennedy, co-founding director and principal at Kennedy Nolan. ‘In the end, we settled on a design with nostalgic elements to it with the stone and classic modernist feel, while managing proximity to the lake.’

Also important in achieving this established look was the garden, designed by Sally Gilbert Landscape.

‘They didn’t want anything ostentatious – they wanted something much more low-key – so it’s designed to fall back into the landscape over time,’ Patrick says.  

Photos of this home were taken just eight months after completion, but lush vines and foliage can already be seen stretching across the property’s walls. ‘Everything was designed to establish pretty quickly, but also to grow over time,’ Patrick says. ‘There’s some big trees that will come up over the next 20 years.’

In the decades to come, the home’s natural materials will gracefully age and patina, walls will be engulfed in vines, and tree canopies will join in a green dome. A truly timeless home, destined to age gracefully!

Third Girl - Agatha Christie

The definition of “Third Girl” made me aww. Kind of the third wheel of roommates and roommate hunting. 

I figured out some clues in advance, maybe not the full meaning but I was on the right track.

The girls were in 67, Louise was in 76. Truly I mainly figured “number switch” because reading “seventy-six” my brain could only comprehend it as “sixty-seven.” I thought it was a typo because I read the movers say the death happened in the same apartment the girls lived in. Noting the loose door numbers are when I got the 67/76 switch. 

The book kept harping on how like Andrew Restarick his portrait looked. So naturally it was age-regressed. Especially remembering Norma hadn’t seen him since she was five, and intentionally mentioning that the memory she made of him maybe wasn’t accurate. 

The note about Mary caring about David being in the house more than she cared about Norma her step-daughter, I thought maybe she’d actually be his mom and it was a money con (half right I guess). 

The wig was obviously important but I couldn’t think who she would be.

But Norma really couldn’t tell Frances and Mary were the same? Drugs, I guess. 

The “romance” with the doctor came out of left field in those last two pages. “Maybe we can get married?” It’s been 10 days and she was your psychiatric patient, coming off of drugs!
