01: COMO COMEBACK
Como Reimagined is the revitalisation of an iconic Melbourne heritage site. Australia’s preeminent garden designer, Paul Bangay, has been commissioned by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) to revitalise the stunning garden of Melbourne’s most glamorous stately home, Como House. Situated in the heart of South Yarra, Como House is in the midst of significant restoration and conservation works to preserve its structures and garden so that future generations can enjoy the estate’s beauty. Established in 1876, Como House boasts more than two hectares of lush gardens originally designed by William Sangster in 1855, and further updated by Ellis Stones in 1965. Simon Ambrose, CEO of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria), says he is delighted to see the revitalisation of such a significant heritage site. “Como House and Garden is a cultural and historic icon of Melbourne. With the restoration works going full steam ahead, guests will truly be transported back to the lives of Victoria’s 19th century elite,” says Simon. “While focusing initially on the foundation and structural repairs, Como House will also receive an external and cosmetic upgrade, including its expansive gardens.” comogardens.com.au
