Homecomings are often characterized as a return to the safe and familiar but for Melbourne-born architect Jeremy Wolveridge (known as “Jerry” to most), it was quite the opposite. In 2000, after three years’ working in Far North Queensland and two in London, Jerry was ready to set up his own practice. He wanted to do it in a place that would throw up new challenges and provide ongoing opportunity for truly creative design. Track forward to 2014 and his busy Collingwood studio and impressive folio of completed work attest to a decade and a half spent tackling those challenges and grasping those opportunities. Consider the five projects featured here as a representative sample: an inner-city alt-and-add (as you’d expect), homes for a growing family (on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula) and a couple (in an estate adjacent to a golf course), an expansive luxury beach getaway (behind the dunes at Queensland’s Port Douglas), and a converted horse knackery in the Gippsland bush in rural Victoria (really!).
