FAMILY TIME
Charlotte and Marty Fox at home with (from left) Bonnie, Olive and Freddy. The couple’s love of art is evident throughout the house. Sydney-based artist Dina Broadhurst’s Ladies in Waiting, a photographic print, hangs behind them, while an artwork by the late Melbourne artist David Band is of particular significance. It was given to Marty by fashion designer Jenny Bannister after he sold her St Kilda home.
LIVING
‘Chub’ coffee table with Cosmos marble top, Sarah Ellison. Hot Haus ‘Zephyr’ bowl and ‘Colourscapes’ paperweight in Amber, both Jardan. Custom sofa in Oat, Big Chair.
Having nerves of steel is a prerequisite in Marty Fox’s business, but the latest addition to The Block team was feeling a little bit nervous before moving into his new house.
“My wife gave birth to our third child, Bonnie, the day after we moved in,” he tells me. “It was really full on because Charlotte was just so heavily pregnant. I was like, ‘Oh God, what about this baby waiting for us to be in Toorak, what a little silver spooner!’”
How much time do you spend at home? “Heaps”
