Krista Vendy is like Champagne personified: effervescent, gorgeous and classic. The former Neighbours star/model/activist’s home in South Yarra, Victoria, reflects this. Enter the recently built Lyall Residences apartment, and you’re welcomed by a glamorous Bocci suspension light, resembling bubbles floating through the air.
The interior of the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home Krista shares with her property developer husband, Brett Rogers, was designed by Melbourne firm Lombard & Jack. The overall effect is sparkling, thanks to the three-metre-high ceilings, natural light from the north and an indoor garden.
The same sparkling feel is evident in Krista’s choice of car: a 2014 Maserati GranTurismo 4.7L V8 two-door coupe, no less. Then there’s the unmistakable throaty note of the exhaust which, to many, is even better than the sound of the pop of a Champagne cork!
Have you always appreciated handsome cars and houses?
I’ve lived in a variety of homes, driven all sorts of cars, and have loved and valued them all. As I get older, however, my taste in interiors has become more refined and my car taste has grown more sporty.
