tony is a Director of the Kent Town architecture firm

Studio Nine, and he worked closely with Lightsview to

finesse the design of the Loft 38 home. The property uses

every square inch of its small frontage to accommodate

two bedrooms, a courtyard, open-plan kitchen and off-

street parking without ever feeling cluttered.

Incorporating several unusual and beautiful design

solutions, such as an open stairwell that allows light and

THE PAST CREATES THE FUTURE

A loft 38 scribble.

Lightsview’s Loft 38 – one of the suburb’s most innovative small allotment homes – started its life as scribbles on a piece of butter paper, the same way almost all of Tony Zappia’s projects do.

air to flow from the master bedroom’s

picture window throughout the house,

the design for the Loft 38 benefited

from the almost two decades of

experience Tony has in architecture.

“I would say most of our previous

projects contribute to the Loft 38 as

they do in all of our projects in some

way,” Tony says. “Learning from

previous projects assists in delivering

a better built form.”

The influences that have shaped the

Loft 38 can be traced further back,

to even before the start of Tony’s

career. Inspired by classical masters

in design, Tony – like many of his

architecture colleagues – looks back

in time to find knowledge and

solutions that can be applied today.

“I have not researched any design

philosophies in particular,” he says.

“However I have enjoyed reading

and using techniques from the old

masters such as the Italian Architect

Andrea Palladio… Their use of scale,

proportion and materials has had

significant influence in my built form

and appreciation of space and volume.

“Further, I have admired and been

inspired by the great Japanese

Architect Tadao Ando who has

shown there are no boundaries

working in small spaces. I admire

his creative use of natural light and

structures that follow natural forms of

the landscape, rather than disturbing

the landscape by making it conform to

the constructed space of a building.”

Lessons from these classic masters

wash around in Tony’s head as he

sketches on his office’s rolls and rolls

of butter paper, and then takes his

ideas through the usual rigmarole of

applications, approvals, tenders and

construction. The biggest and most

important part of that process, says

Tony, is communication with his client.

“Over the years I have learnt to ask

the right questions,” he says. “many of

us know what we want, however find

it difficult to articulate exactly our

needs to an architect or designer.”

From sketches on paper, to the home

you live in – every design idea is

carefully considered, thought through,

questioned and re-thought until a

great solution, like those in the Loft 38,

become a reality.

THE POWER OF THE PEDAL A group of cyclists appear on the horizon at Nuriootpa.

After riding a punishing 104km in just one day,

their legs ache and they know they’ll be in for more of

the same on tomorrow’s similarly lengthy trip – but all

of them are smiling.

It was early afternoon when more than four hundred oddly

elated bike riders arrived at the barossa Valley Tourist Park

on Saturday November 1, all having ridden the same route

for the same reason. These cyclists were raising money for

cancer research at the Flinders medical Centre Foundation

as part of the Lightsview Ride to Conquer Cancer.

The 2013 event raised $1.6 million for the Foundation,

and this money will be used to fund research by Flinders

Centre for Innovation in Cancer staff. Researchers began

applying for grants from the funding pool as soon as the

fundraised amount was announced.

Flinders medical Centre Foundation events manager

Deb Palmer says the amazing fundraising efforts are just

the start of how 2013’s cyclists are helping the cause.

“Engaging the local community is critical to fundraising as

they become our voice and play a vital role in promoting

the important projects that we are working to support,” she

says. “They enable us to broadcast our message at the local

level – to the coffee shops, to the hairdressers, into class

rooms and businesses.”

The 2013 Lightsview Ride to Conquer Cancer was

supercharged by a new partnership between the event and

Lightsview. As naming sponsor of the event, Lightsview

raised more than $200,000 to help cancer research.

The partnership between the Ride and Lightsview came

about organically after Lightsview’s project director Alan

miller took part in a different fundraising event.

“The wonderful Alan miller from CIC participated in the

Lands End to John o’Groats Cancer Cycle Challenge for the

FmC Foundation in June 2013,” says Deb. “This 1600km

challenge over 14 days enabled Alan to learn about the

research and hospital projects that we support at Flinders.

Upon returning home, Juliette Robinson, our marketing

Coordinator and fellow Lands End participant, invited Alan

Lightsview’s support has an extra element not seen in

any other state’s Ride to Conquer Cancer sponsorship. For

the 2014 event Lightsview have partnered with Rendition

Homes to develop and sell a specially-designed house, with

all profits going to the Flinders medical Centre Foundation.

Rendition Homes managing Director Wayne Fazzalari says

the company will have a premium house designed and

built in Lightsview’s Waterford precinct ready to be sold

in conjunction with the 2014 event.

“It’s been designed by prominent Adelaide architect

Tony Gianonne of Tectvs architects and it’s an edgy design,”

he says. “It’s been designed to take into consideration

two frontages – on the street and on the waterfront –

with an outdoor-indoor living environment which is

also dual fronted.”

A good view for a good cause.

Simon’s approach to food is straightforward. He believes

cooking is a simple process that should be used to

best exhibit the flavour of good produce, and that the best

produce is grown as naturally as possible.

After years spent around food, Simon has found that

understanding how it is grown can entirely change how

a person views cooking and eating. When working in

commercial kitchens, he would take his colleagues to meet

the growers on their farms and would see a radical change

in their behaviour afterward.

“you really respect the food, I think, when you see how

much work goes into it,” he says. “you start to really

appreciate the difference between something supposedly

good because it’s a trend and something that really is

good for the flavour.”

Everyone can get closer to their food by growing a few little

things at home. Lightsview’s community garden initiative

helps residents learn about growing edible plants in even

the smallest of spaces. With equipment supplied by Urban

Sprout and tutorials from magic Harvest, a community

vegetable patch near the Urban Lights Café serves as a

practice ground for green thumbs. The successes of the

SEASONAL APPETITE

“If you’re not going to eat it don’t plant it,” says renowned chef Simon bryant. “That’s why you plant it – so you can eat it!”

community garden show people what could be possible

in their own spaces – whether it be an apartment balcony

or a bigger garden like that of the metricon Sentosa where

Simon prepared this dish.

While there is always plentiful advice out there about

gardening, Simon says the most important thing is to enjoy

the process.

“I don’t want gardening to become a burden,” he says.

“It should always be a pleasure.”

“I never grow things like broccoli, cauliflower or kale for

more than two years running in the same spot because

in my garden that’s just asking for white flies! So I am

mindful of rotating what I plant and when I’m feeling

really lazy I just plant lentils or broad beans. by putting in

a nitrogen fixing crop like beans or pulses it gives you a bit

of an excuse to have a break from the garden – because

they are so easy to grow – all while you’re treating the soil

without chemicals.”

INGREDIENTS

½ cup small green “French style”

lentils* (or substitute with any small

skin-on lentil)

¼ cup quinoa* seeds (not flakes)

soaked for 30 minutes and rinsed

until water runs clear

¼ cup amaranth* (optional)

8 zucchini flowers

1 each green and yellow zucchini

cut into long thin strips or “ribbons”

(a mandolin will do this easily)

2 cups assorted heirloom tomatoes

chopped any old how (ie a mad

mix of whatever you can get your

hands on)

½ bunch flat leaf parsley roughly

chopped and randomly picked

½ bunch basil

2 lemons zested and juiced

250g halloumi cheese

120ml extra virgin olive oil

Salt flakes and cracked pepper

mETHOD

Put lentils in 2 litre pot with 3 cups

water, bring to simmer and cook 15

minutes, add quinoa, cook another

15 minutes until quinoa has broken

a little and most of the water has

been absorbed. Drain, season and

set aside.

meanwhile heat up a grill plate or

a heavy fry pan, grill the halloumi

on both sides until “smokey” and

coloured, remove, cool and rip up

into bite-sized pieces.

Lightly oil and season the zucchini

strips and grill until coloured.

make a dressing with remaining

olive oil and lemon juice, a big pinch

of salt and cracked pepper.

If using amaranth, pre-heat a large

heavy based pan over a medium to

high heat for a few minutes, chuck

the amaranth in to “toast” with lid

on and shake/slide vigorously (so it

doesn’t burn) for about 2 minutes

as it pops. It will carry on like pop

corn so don’t take the lid off or you

will have popped amaranth all over

the place. Remove from heat and tip

into bowl when it has all doubled

in size.

Place lentil and quinoa mix on the

plate, dress with half the dressing,

top with zucchini ribbons, tomato

and halloumi. Finally separate a few

random petals of zucchini flowers

and scatter over, drizzle remaining

dressing over, sprinkle with popped

amaranth if using and more salt

flakes, parsley, lemon zest and

cracked pepper.

This salad makes a great side

dish to some lamb chops or a cold

roast chicken.

*Australian “fresh green” style lentils, amaranth and quinoa seeds are available in the health food aisle of good supermarkets or in health food shops.

THE APARTmENT ON OUR STREET

w hile the old adage of location, location, location

will never lose its ring in the housing game,

it is being joined by a new catch-cry that should prove

just as enduring.

modern buyers are beginning to see that lifestyle, lifestyle,

lifestyle is just as important as location when choosing

their home. As a result, the apartment – once viewed

by Australians as only suitable for short-term living – is

becoming a first-class choice. The low maintenance

benefits of apartments and the close community ties

fostered by high-density living situations are the driving

forces behind the change in attitude.

A recent report from the Property Council of Australia

(SA), Adelaide City Council and Renewal SA, Apartment

Living in Adelaide, showed that more than 60 per cent of

apartment dwellers chose to live in that kind of housing

because of the associated lifestyle, with many highlighting

the time saved from not having to deal with gardens as a

positive attribute.

This trend follows a model long-established internationally

which is also beginning to appear along Australia’s eastern

seaboard. Suburbs such as New york’s satellite brooklyn have

always bustled with apartment blocks and, as Adelaide’s CbD

becomes more populated, the make-up of our housing stock

will begin to mimic these famous outposts.

Lightsview’s apartments team a good location – less than

8km from the city – with the low-maintenance lifestyle,

and add an extra dimension – good design.

A 2013 report authored by strategic consultancy Hudson

Howells shows that people considering apartment living

prioritise privacy, natural light, access to open space and

a tranquil atmosphere when choosing their property.

The new apartments being released by Lightsview this

year will intermingle seamlessly with the other housing

in the area. While there are many diverse aspects to each

apartment, they all have one thing in common – innovative

design that puts human needs at the very top of the

priority list. The low-rise, four storey apartment buildings

will complement the scale of the adjoining community

and add, rather than dominate the streetscape.

Only four apartments feature on each floor, with 14 total

for each building. Penthouse level apartments will feature

impressive vaulted ceilings adding a sense of space, while

all enjoy private balconies and secure lock-up garaging at

ground level.

The emphasis on design is also important in helping to

create the rich community atmosphere many people

considering apartment living hope for. Nicely appointed

communal spaces, such as lobbies and interior courtyards,

as well as the many reserves and bike paths running

through Lightsview, encourage people to move across

the community and give residents a chance to interact.

These design innovations top-off apartments that are

already the perfect blend of location and lifestyle, and

there’s not much more you could ask for in a home.

The first release of apartments happens in early 2014.

A SCHOOL OF THOUGHT

For more than two years the site of

the Ross Smith Secondary School

has stood quietly abandoned along

Hampstead Road, but redevelopment

by Lightsview is set to give it new life.

The Ross Smith school was

amalgamated into the Roma mitchell

Secondary College campus just down

the road in 2011, but the buildings are

yet to be re-purposed. Lightsview’s

plans are to make the area live and

breathe in a way that is useful to the

new neighbourhood’s residents.

“What we tried to do is actually create

two different focal points – we’ve

created two anchors in the Lightsview

community,” says michael Visintin

of Design IQ – an urban planner who

works closely with Lightsview.

“There’s the town centre, then this

school site is the more community-

focussed area.”

The plans for the site include a

community centre, wetland gardens,

a small retail precinct that could

house home-maker stores and a

child care centre.

michael believes these facilities

will attract people from all over

Lightsview, and encourage community

members to move through the

neighbourhood on the many purpose-

built bike and walking paths. Also

incorporated onto the old school site

will be more housing, bringing balance

and diversity to the overall design.

Several of the planned features serve

dual purposes. The wetlands, which

michael says will be a “beautiful,

functional reserve space in its own

right”, will also perform a stormwater

management function as it catches

overflow during heavy periods of rain.

A vision for transformation – artists’ perspective.

The latest addition to Lightsview’s

footprint will include the now

familiar diversity of housing too, from

apartments and terraces through to

larger allotments for detached homes.

“The same urban design principles

that have worked so well elsewhere

in Lightsview will be applied here,

and that includes plenty of walking

and cycling trails and easy linkages

throughout.”

This sense of connectivity is a

recurring theme on the school site.

As well as hoping to open Lightsview

to Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre,

michael believes the childcare centre

and retail precinct will provide a

perfect linkage between Lightsview

and Hampstead Road.

“This is completing the puzzle,” says

michael. “There was a key road joining

Hampstead Road and Lightsview that

basically ran through a paddock – this

actually creates the urban form of

Lightsview and the community of

Lightsview right up to Hampstead Road

and makes that final connection.”

bUILDING FOR OPPORTUNITyA fter World War II, Australia’s population boomed,

and the construction industry could barely keep up.

The country was flooded with a fresh wave of immigrants

and children were being born, growing up and buying their

own houses at an unbelievable rate.

Housing at this time was clustered around essential

services. Often, towns were built by the rail line; the town

centre bordered the train stations and homes fanned out

a little from the main street. This type of neighbourhood

fostered happy communities full of everyone from blue-

collar tradies, newly-arrived immigrant shopkeepers to

white-collar professionals who made the train trip to the

city every morning.

but, as Australia’s population kept growing and new

industries popped up, artificially engineered housing

became a necessity. Whole suburbs, such as Elizabeth in

SA’s north, were built especially to accommodate specific

groups of people like the car manufacturing workers who

would work at the Holden plant. Social housing for families

and people in need was also built in clusters.

Such measures led to a breakdown of the traditional

community make-up, and created enclaves throughout

the state where opportunity was limited by bad access

to education and other community facilities. This was

an issue seen internationally, as reported by the USA’s

Kirwan Institute.

“Neighbourhood racial and economic segregation is also

segregation from opportunities critical to quality of life,

financial stability, and social advancement,” says the

Institute when summarising research in the field. “Isolation

and disinvestment threaten not only individuals and their

families, but entire communities.”

Lightsview is leading Australia in re-dressing this trend

by returning to the highly-diverse neighbourhoods of

the mid-20th century. Within ten minutes drive of major

cultural attractions like the Adelaide Oval (because there’s

nothing like beer and cricket to help people make friends)

and the Festival Centre, it is the perfect home-base for a

vast array of people.

The houses at Lightsview include award-winning affordable

homes located alongside multi-million dollar properties,

as well as planned apartment buildings that will contain

homes at a range of price points. While building this

mixture of high quality homes opens the neighbourhood

to people of varied incomes, Lightsview also makes sure

everyone living in the area feels engaged and welcome

in the community by running free events. These include

weekly markets, regular outdoor cinema nights and, most

recently, a huge Summer Festival full of rides, food stalls

and fun activities.

Just chatting to people as they came and went at the

organic market was enough evidence for anyone to see that

Lightsview’s approach is working. People of all backgrounds

and incomes wandered through the stalls, and as they did,

many stopped for a chat with their neighbours.

and Robert Capones are building a second

“I think we were in the second group

of residents to move into Lightsview,”

says Leah. “This was our first home,

so it was easy and they had all the

first home buyers grants and things

available here. Now we’re thinking

about building our second home in

Lightsview too. We love it here.”

EUROPEAN INSPIRATION

the Terrace 344 has come on a

long journey – almost half way

around the world – to bring a new

standard of home design to Australia.

Two years ago Lightsview’s project

director Alan miller undertook a study

tour to see some of the best housing

throughout Europe. He visited several

countries and countless homes, but

there was one that stopped him in

his tracks.

After being led through Amsterdam’s

progressive Oostelijk Havengebied

(Eastern Docklands) development

that had been established in the ’90s,

Alan arrived in one of the area’s most

unique neighbourhoods – borneo-

Sporenburg. Here, he was shown

through a home that immediately

inspired him.

“I was impressed by the fact that

it was actually built on all four

boundaries,” says Alan. “It occupied

the whole site. I knew that was

something we had been able to get

successfully approved for Lightsview

on our site. It sparked my interest that

10-15 years ago they were doing things

in Amsterdam that we were still

struggling to get approved in Adelaide.

The progressive Amsterdam neighbourhood of Borneo-Sporenburg.

“When I went into this house, I thought I’d need to

change some things, but something similar to this in

terms of the concept could really work at Lightsview.”

The home Alan had walked into was a three-storey

terrace house in one of Amsterdam’s most-densely

populated suburbs, but it still gave a feeling of light,

space and privacy.

Its unique design was the result of well-thought-

out planning. While the overall Eastern Docklands

development had been very successful from the

beginning, the City of Amsterdam Council could see that

too few families were moving into the area. The Council

specifically asked urban designer Adriaan Geuze to address

this problem while developing borneo-Sporenburg, but

they insisted the area must still be high density.

Adriaan’s solution was to create an almost entirely new

type of terrace home that efficiently used the land it was

built on. Traditional gardens were substituted for rooftop

gardens, balconies and courtyards. Incorporating “free

parcels” – areas where homebuyers could bring in their

own architect to design a home that fitted in with certain

guidelines – protected streetscape diversity.

Lightsview has benefited from much of the knowledge

Alan gained whilst overseas, but the Terrace 344 is the

most directly Amsterdam-inspired home the suburb

has seen so far. Alan adapted certain features for the

Australian market, but the home is conceptually aligned

with those he saw overseas.

“The Amsterdam home… had a spiral staircase at the

back of the house that got natural light down into the back

of the house,” says Alan. “Our approach was to actually

incorporate a central courtyard in the middle of the house

so you didn’t need to do that and you could get natural light

and ventilation into as many rooms as possible.”

“The other major change was the way it was constructed –

ours is totally different… because we can use lightweight

construction methods with different materials like power

panel, we can actually build these things at a much

cheaper rate.”

The combination of the innovative building methods Alan

talks about and the small land parcel the Terrace 344

requires makes the home a particularly affordable option.

built on a block of just 75m2, the Terrace 344 is a full-size,

three-bedroom, three-bathroom family home that costs

less than $400,000 – something which is almost impossible

to find elsewhere in the Australian housing market.

An innovation with its roots in Amsterdam, the Terrace

344 is sure to become an Australian classic as more and

more families discover the joy of home ownership in this

unique, architecturally-designed space.

“Our approach was to actually incorporate a central courtyard in the middle of the house so…you could get natural light and ventilation into as many rooms as possible.”

Six new homes that are now

available at Lightsview show the

depth of choice on offer in the area;

enough to suit every taste.

Renowned builder of stylish homes,

medallion, recently released two large

family homes – the two-storey Domo

and four-bedroom Urbis. both offer

contemporary features such as flexible

floor plans and a seamless relationship

between outdoor and indoor spaces.

“These homes are another step in the

direction of modern lifestyles. We’ve

seen a lot of things change over the

last five years,” says medallion Homes’

Steve Sinclair.

“Some of those things are people

becoming more discerning about

designing a home that has a feature

they want rather than taking a

generic offering… so these homes are

designed with floor plans that show

the possibilities. The second big trend

is the increased importance to people

of the outdoor – indoor interaction.”

medallion Homes believes there is a

natural relationship between their

design philosophy and Lightsview’s.

Rather than having to change their

thinking to meet Lightsview’s criteria

for diverse material use, high ceilings

and good-quality detailing, medallion

finds it happens naturally.

WORLD OF CHOICE AT LIGHTSVIEW

Well considered design and exceptional quality are hallmarks of a Medallion home.

“We’re in sync with what Lightsview

are trying to do in creating a better

architectural offering for the exterior

look of the homes,” says Steve. “That’s

what we’ve been doing for a long time

and we feel comfortable building in

Lightsview for those reasons.”

With the Urbis’ high-end outdoor

kitchen and a floor-plan that Steve

says is like no other on display; and

the Domo’s wine cellar and library –

these medallion homes in Lightsview’s

Waterford display village will no doubt

attract a lot of interest.

Also in the large family home market

is a new offering from Felmeri – the

cover star for this issue of Viewpoint.

built over three levels in a style

Felmeri bills as full of “opulence

and luxury”, the three-bedroom

home features a lap pool, spa and

rooftop garden. As the only house in

Lightsview with a lift included, it’s

worth a look for a ride alone.

Showing the diversity of housing

choices at Lightsview are three new

terrace products that are designed

by Longridge and Sterling Homes.

Longridge’s Terrace 265 and Terrace

270, along with a new Sterling Homes

offering demonstrate the evolution of

terrace design.

While terraces were on the market

a decade ago, few home-builders

were investing time and energy into

smart design. Now these houses are

becoming more and more popular,

and designs are being influenced

by world-class standards. All three

of these homes include a c-shaped

courtyard in the middle of the home

to let light and air circulate through

every room. And smart floor plan

layout means that while these homes

take up little land and are more

affordable they still offer everything

a modern family needs – with each

house boasting three-bedrooms and

at least two bathrooms.

Internal courtyards add privacy as well as light and fresh air into every room; Longridge Homes.
