Starting out as a Zorzi display home back in 2002, this Mosman Park residence was then home for a family for more than 12 years. When it was bought by new owners, they turned to Zorzi to undertake major alterations and additions to modernise the home and to change it to better suit their lifestyle. Within a short period of time the back section of the home was completely gutted and extended, allowing for the creation of a new luxurious kitchen with rich timber detailing and marble splashback and benchtops. A new scullery was built with more storage space than some entire homes and the previously enclosed alfresco was replaced with a fabulous outdoor entertaining space that incorporates a pizza oven, bar and built in fire pit. This project resulted…

In days gone by, the gaol sat as a reminder to locals that you do not want to end up in one of the claustrophobic cells, which for most of its existence had windows without glazing, so if the already chilling breeze didn’t cut through you, a gust in the wrong direction could send the rain right into your cell. Some have found the interior of the building somewhat foreboding, as did we when we first entered the space, which is set up like many American prisons. Even more so having read about the gaol’s history - ten people were hung there and then buried standing, facing the wall in the courtyard so that the offender could not tread forward even in the afterlife. Its very being is that of…

With an enviable riverside location overlooking Perth’s stunning Swan River and an existing home with ‘good bones’, the owners of this Mosman Park residence made a decision to renovate and extend rather than rebuild in order to accommodate their young family and bring the home up to the level of style and sophistication they desired. No renovation comes without its challenges for the builder, but with the additional difficulties of working with an elevated site which also backed onto a cliff-face and restricted access which made it extremely difficult to utilise heavy machinery, the sensational outcome of this project is all the more impressive and a true credit to the expertise of builder Adrian Zorzi. Maximising the spectacular river views was obviously one of the key objectives of the project.…

It was in Michigan, in the Spring of 1928 when cousins, Edward Knabusch and Edwin Schoemaker used the timber from orange crates to put together the very first chair with a mechanism that simultaneously pushed the seat forward and tilted back.

Many will ask why I haven’t just stuck with the history of this particular gaol but rather portrayed a broader narrative that includes caricatures of Jack Nicholson in ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ - the building did hold people considered to be mentally unwell right through to young offenders, as the gaol was also a boys home for a while. I have also thrown in caricatures from Mad Magazine depicting Easy Rider through to Papillon and mugshots of people whose crimes were very small but their punishment was harsh. As part of the collection, I have found the mugshots to be a strong inspiration for making art, looking relevant and forming part of the narrative of the building. I also found researching the characters in the mugshots utterly fascinating.…
