There is much more to Melbourne than sporting events, multitudinous restaurants, gorgeous parklands, lush gardens, historic buildings, theatres, shops, trams, and its weather! In fact, it is the houses of Melbourne that say most about the place. And Melbourne homes have a well deserved reputation of being amongst the most stylish in the world. Melbourne’s luxury home market is always buoyant and there are many remarkable residences that are uniquely “Melbourne” and that epitomise all we have grown to know and love about the Victorian capital.

Working alongside the Kay & Burton team is photographer Gerard Warrener, who captured these magnificent properties on film. Gerard’s images are too beautiful to store or to discard; they serve as an important and permanent record of Melbourne - its people as perceived throught their homes, its characteristic way of life, its loveliness, its innate chic.
