The house that started it all – Planchonella House by Jesse Bennett Studio! Photo – Sean Fennessy

Planchonella House by Jesse Bennett Studio. Photo – Sean Fennessy

It’s been five years since Planchonella House by Jesse Bennett Studio set the Australian design scene on fire, taking out Australian Institute of Architects’ Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture 2015, the Australian House of the Year at the Houses Awards 2015; and winner of Interior Design/Residential at the Architecture MasterPrize 2017. Phew!

Founded by husband and wife duo, architect Jesse Bennett and interior designer Anne-Marie Campagnolo, the studio has since been engaged on projects ranging from regional Queensland to southern France, and recently moved their headquarters to Melbourne! 

Take a look inside this creative couple’s space, and find out what’s next for their practice below.

When did you and Jesse meet?  

We met at Ric’s, a dive bar in Fortitude Valley, where Jesse was playing drums at the time in a band called the Z-RAYS. We had some kind of weird sliding doors/love at first sight moment and were married six months later. That was 10 years ago.  

Why did you decide to establish Jesse Bennett Studio?  

We started the studio after the success of our first project together, Planchonella House, in 2015. We didn’t really have a plan to start a practice – rather we just really like to design, build and make things – and this turned into a practice.

How do you find working together?

When we first started it was quite challenging, as we both have very different personalities. 

Over the years we’ve developed some good strategies, and now it’s really fun. 

Our biggest lesson has been to both accept and appreciate each other’s strengths and differences. I remember I used to get stressed out that Jesse would always be doing non-work things throughout the work week like yoga, drums, mountain bike riding, guitar practice, servicing motorbikes and painting. But now, I’ve learnt that he tackles all kinds of problems and gains ridiculous clarity of thought by doing these things. He will come in from a ride and in 20 minutes flat he will draw out something wildly awesome, and it’s because he’s been thinking about it all day on the trails.

Tell us a bit about your home and studio in Melbourne.

Our current home/studio space is located in Fitzroy. It’s an old brick stable building, which has been subdivided from the original Victorian terrace at the back. It was first converted into an artist’s studio by a prominent Fitzroy lithographer, so it’s got lots of lovely natural light. It’s a very tight space though, and really needs a new roof!

We have focused on decorating the interiors with furniture, art, books and music until the time comes when it can be renovated.

This property is very different from your Planchonella House! Why did you decide to make the move to Melbourne?

This is a great question. We really love Cairns, and naturally we loved our house there too, but we were ready for a change.

I think for creative people, if your goal is original output, you need to have original input. It’s important to challenge your own way of thinking, change your surroundings and stimulate your mind, as it forces you to create a new point of view through new experience, and this naturally leads to new ideas.

I’d be lying if we said we didn’t have some serious reservations about moving back into a major city, but we ultimately decided that we’d rather take a wrong step than be static. Luckily for us, we love Fitzroy. Our neighbours are fantastic, the dog park is primo, and the changing scenes in the street are truly no less colourful than the tropical jungle we were surrounded by in Cairns. Different – but no less colourful.

How do you separate work and home? 

This is a constant challenge, but we have it pretty nailed now. We plan our week so that we both have blocks of quiet time alone in the office where one of us is out and the other works. Then we also have morning meetings, site meetings, etc. 

COVID-19 put a pretty major spanner in the works though, and suffice to say we’ve spent a lot of money at Bose on noise-cancelling headphones in an attempt to stay sane!

Do you have any major inspirations that influence your design work? 

Most of our influence is from outside the field of architecture and interiors. We look to music, colour, biophilia, fabrics, cycles, philosophy, senses, people, construction, materials, instruments, taste, emotions, machinery, actions and reactions, astrology, patterns, dogs, fine jewels, punk, history, all kinds of craft, aquatic life, the wind….

What are some exciting projects currently in the Jesse Bennett Studio pipeline? 

We are working on a beachfront home in Queensland that we are really excited about. The clients engaged us during COVID, and even though we haven’t met face to face, they have such a wonderful attitude towards the design process that we already know the results are going to be radical.

Keep up with Anne-Marie + Jesse here!

Luxury Reimagined

The narrative of legends and the mystique that surrounds them have always proved an important focal point in the life of 29-year-old entrepreneur Louis Li.

Lured to Melbourne from his Southern Chinese homeland by a desire to study film making, Li first encountered the mythical creature of North American folklore, the jackalope while on a European holiday several years ago. Best described as a jackrabbit with antelope antlers, Li felt an instant affinity with the rare long-eared mammal, believing that with its hybrid state of “poetic imagination, ambition and rebellion” it mirrored his ambitious desire to create a new breed of luxurious hotel.

“The unusual, the unique and the unobtainable become the aim of our desires in a world where we seek experiences that rebel from the ordinary and excite us with their individuality. If luxury is defined by rarity, what is more luxurious than a creature so rare that it exists only in legend,” he says.

It makes sense then that when Li, whose family are involved in land development and luxury travel industries in China, began searching for a name for his burgeoning hotel group, his muse was the first to spring to mind.

    Occupying a generous 19 hectares space in Merricks North on Victoria’s picturesque Mornington Peninsula, the group’s debut property, also called Jackalope, is anything but your standard hospitality provider. Sited among the working 143-year old Willow Creek vineyard, it consists of a contemporary 46-room hotel, dining and high-end conference and event space.

Fusing Li’s passion for art, design, dining and story-telling, guests are greeted by a seven-metre tall sculpture of a jackalope by Melbourne artist Emily Floyd cast among the various other curated works by local artists including Rolf Sachs and Andrew Hazewinkel.

The $40 million property only opened its doors in April but is already drawing critical praise for the uniqueness – not to mention the diversity – of its offering.

It was only open a matter of weeks before being named Hotel of the Year, New Hotel of the Year and Regional Hotel of the Year at the annual Gourmet Traveller Australian Hotel Guide Awards.

Li says the success of Tasmania’s MONA afforded him the confidence that people would appreciate a daring, bold vision in this part of the world.

    Li’s hopes for the development is to create a “hospitality landmark” offering guests a transformative experience that is a mixture between the ideal and the surreal.

Yet as with all ventures of this magnitude, the devil lies in the detail.

Designed in collaboration with Melbourne architectural and interior design firm the Carr Design Group, the hotel has 46 luxury rooms, each with private terraces and the options of deep soak black stone bath tubs. Aptly positioned as ‘terrace’, ‘vineyard’. ‘dens’, ‘lairs’ depending on the standard required, King-sized beds are standard as are custom-made furnishings and bathrooms that boast rain showers and spacious vanities throughout. A complimentary minibar, breakfast and high-speed wireless internet are also included.

In addition, there are four luxury suites ranging in size from 52m2 to 85m2. These studio rooms boast floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces that connect guests to the rural surrounds. Features include custom mosaics and bathroom fixtures which are finished in bronzes and coppers while additional comforts include the option of either a kitchenette and indoor dining for six or an extended lounge configuration. Signature suites arrive lavished with loft ceilings, a 30m2 terrace overlooking the vines, a double-sided indoor/outdoor fireplace, a kitchenette, cocktail bar and personal wine cellar. A crystal and copper lighting installation crafted by Fitzroy-based industrial designer Christopher Boots illuminates the loft and highlights the profile of the made-to-order furnishings.

    Taylor Cullity Lethlean is responsible for the landscaping in grounds that include a yoga lawn alongside a black 30-metre infinity pool that gives the impression of “lapping the vines”, a private pool deck a heated plunge pool and a poolside pavilion that is available for spa treatments or private dining.

On the doorstep of more than 50 nearby cellar doors and wineries, Jackalope also has its own conferencing and private event facilities.

General manager Tracy Atherton says there are also a number of drink and dining options including a cocktail bar it calls Flaggerdoot, an 80-seat contemporary dining restaurant called Doot Doot Doot which has former Aman Resorts’ Guy Stanaway as its executive chef and Martin Webster (of Montalto fame) as its head chef. It has an ever-evolving five-course degustation menu and a dining space ringed by a 10,000-lightbulb installation by Melbourne-based chandelier designer Jan Flook that aims to reflect the bubbles of the fermentation process and inviting guests to be part of the unique Jackalope story.

A separate 100-seat winery restaurant, cellar door and provedore entitled Rare Hare offers all day dining. Produce for both dining spaces is sourced from local producers as well as from the hotel’s kitchen garden which occupies 900m2 of space and has over 35 herbs and vegetable varietals.

Priced to compete alongside such vaunted venues as Halcyon House, Qualia, Saffire Freycinet and Wolgan Valley, with prices ranging from $650 to $1,300 a night, the secret to the hotel brand’s success is including the amenities luxury property guests want without them having to request them with barrel tastings, private tours or breakfast amid the vines. However, for those eager to ensure their every whim is catered for, guests are also offered the option of pre-purchasing packages incorporating extras such as caviar and vodka martini upon arrival, a five-course tasting menu dinner with matched wines, champagne upon room check in, valet parking and room upgrades.

    Atherton says the Mornington Peninsula was crying out for a boutique like this, adding that there is nothing else built to this scale.

“Our motto at Jackalope is ‘escaping reality’ and this really is true. As we are set on a vineyard with two restaurants and a bar – guests can literally come for 48 hours and not leave the property. This for me is totally escaping the real world.”

Head-hunted from Canberra’s ‘Hotel Hotel’ to take up the role, Atherton has more than 25 years’ experience in luxury hotels with operational experience in Asia, Europe and Australia. As such, she has been a key plank in Li’s plans to draw a team of high calibre hospitality staff with cool-climate wine specialist Geraldine McFaul as chief winemaker, Kiwi hospitality specialist Josef Murray (formerly of Kensington Street Social and The Clare Bar) as food and beverage director joining Webster and Stanaway on the hotel management team.

“The executive team is lucky to have worked in the high-end luxury hospitality industry for quite some time, so we have relied a lot on our networks. The dream of Jackalope has paid off with some incredible talent that has moved to the Mornington Peninsula,” Atherton says.

    Drawn by both a combination of the great staff, the prestige proposition and the outstanding amenities, Atherton says when the hotel first opened its doors, its focus initially was on the domestic market.

But that’s now changing to having a more global skew.

“Now that our name is becoming familiar across Australia, our target market is extending to the US, the UK and Europe. The international travellers lead time is generally longer so I am imagining more and more international guests as of next year.”

Having enjoyed so much success with its initial venture, Li’s group now hopes to extend the business with plans to create a further five hotels within 10 years, including one in Flinders Lane in Melbourne’s CBD in 2020 and then in Shanghai.

Become an Yoga Teacher: What to Expect from Iyengar Teacher Training Programs

Iyengar yoga teacher training is a unique and rigorous path known for its emphasis on precision, alignment, and a deep understanding of the practice. If you're considering becoming an Iyengar yoga teacher, here's what to expect:

Before You Begin: Dedication and Experience

Unlike some other yoga teacher training programs at the yoga studio in Fitzroy, Iyengar teacher training takes a more traditional approach. Before you can even apply for a mentorship, you'll need to be a dedicated practitioner of Iyengar yoga for a minimum of 3 years. This allows you to develop a strong foundation in the practice and ensure you're truly passionate about Iyengar yoga.

The Mentorship Path: In-Depth Learning and Observation

Iyengar teacher training is conducted through a mentorship program. You'll be paired with an experienced and certified Iyengar teacher who will guide and assess your progress. Here's what you can expect:

Shadowing: You'll observe your mentor's classes, gaining insights into teaching techniques and student interaction.

In-depth Study: The curriculum goes beyond just postures (asanas). You'll delve into yoga philosophy, anatomy, pranayama (breathwork), and teaching methodology.

Practice and Assessments: Expect to refine your own practice under your mentor's guidance. You'll also demonstrate your teaching skills in mock classes and undergo written assessments.

Time Commitment: A Long-Term Journey

Iyengar teacher training is a significant time investment. The mentorship program itself typically lasts a minimum of 3 years, though it can take longer depending on your progress. This reflects the emphasis on deep understanding and refined teaching skills.

Beyond Certification: Continuous Learning

Even after receiving your certification, the learning continues. Iyengar yoga is a lifelong practice, and staying updated with the latest advancements is highly encouraged. Many experienced Iyengar teachers continue to attend workshops and participate in ongoing mentorship programs.

Key Takeaways:

Iyengar teacher training requires a strong foundation in Iyengar yoga practice (minimum 3 years).

Training happens through a mentorship program with an experienced teacher.
