About

I’m Seb from Melbourne, Australia. I am proud owner of a home that used to be a church.

The first time I saw it, I knew it was something special. With its soaring ceilings, beautiful stained glass windows and a peaceful, almost sacred atmosphere, this old building stole my heart. I didn’t just buy a house — I bought a piece of history. No matter how hard I had to work to restore it and make into a home, I was determined!

Since moving in, I’ve fallen down a joyful rabbit hole of church architecture and landscaping. What started as a bit of curiosity has turned into a full-blown passion. I’m fascinated by the way design shapes spaces where people come together — not just for worship, but for connection, reflection, music, celebration and community.

This blog is where I share that passion. Whether it’s old stone chapels tucked away in the suburbs of Melborune and country Victoria, grand cathedrals in the city, or the clever ways churches and their gardens are being reimagined today — I’m here for it. You’ll find posts about Melbourne’s church buildings, design features, history, landscaping ideas, and even some thoughts on how these spaces continue to evolve.

I believe great design can lift the spirit and bring people together. If you love architecture, gardens, heritage buildings or just enjoy a quiet wander through sacred spaces, I reckon you’ll feel right at home here.

Thanks for stopping by —
