60 SECONDS WITH JACKIE BRYGEL

It’s difficult to single any out. I find myself feeling connected to every home I write about, making it ‘the favourite’ Frank Lloyd Wright, Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner and Rosita Missoni – if only I could have interviewed all of them! I live with my family, including Bosley the golden retriever, in inner south-east Melbourne. It’s a neighbourhood I’ve known and loved for much of my life. Batch Espresso in bustling Balaclava for coffee and toast, +39 Pizzeria in Hawksburn Village for truly delicious spaghetti Napoli, and Sozai in Armadale for great Japanese fare – you can’t go past the sushi and sweet-miso eggplant. Paris in the wintertime. The sculptural Moroso ‘Smock’ armchair by Spanish design star Patricia Urquiola. Simply beautiful. Season 2 of and BBC1’s wonderful legal drama .
