MAISON MAGAZINE February 2015 Luxury, Property, Lifestyle | Page 2

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR We are very pleased to present the first edition of Maison for 2015. There is so much to see and do in Melbourne this time of year. White Night has become an international phenomenon, and the Melbourne version of the event has drawn hundreds of thousands to the CBD over the previous two years. The city is transformed from 7pm until 7am by light shows, art, theatre, music and more. The third White Night Melbourne will see some favourite acts and artists return, as well as a host of new exhibitions and performances. Also in February is the Good Food and Wine Festival, an unmissable highlight of Melbourne’s culinary calendar. It’s a chance to sample the very best food and drink on offer in Melbourne and regional Victoria. Finally, busy lives and jobs mean that a tropical escape isn’t always practical. However, an indulgent pool hut or gazebo can transform a backyard pool into a luxury escape. We provide some pointers in this edition of the magazine. As always, the rest of Maison is dedicated to the finest properties currently on the Melbourne market. We hope you find something to inspire you. Enjoy!
