AVALON
Interior Styling
Home sweet home. Our home was purchased after being recently renovated by it's previous owner, Heidi Middleton (ex-Sass & Bide). So whilst credit for the 'architectural' side of things must go to lovely Heidi – lucky me gets to fill it with beautiful things. x

“Like a pair of well-worn, ripped Ksubi jeans, this two level home is designed to both shock and impress.”
The Sydney Morning Herald
"Thus began a collaborative, experimental and occasionally spontaneous design process. The client’s open-mindedness allowed Järv to push her creative limits and incorporate materials and details that more conventional residents would shy away from."
HabitusLiving
"The serenity of this bathroom can be attributed to it's simplicity: rendered walls and floors of polished concrete with exposed aggregate and benches made from recycled timber planks. Taps and shower heads, in their raw brass form, from the Roulette range by CB Ideal Tapware and a pre-owned vintage soap/ toothbrush holder add to the muted tones. Externally mounted timber stacking/sliding doors provide large openings for an abundance of natural light and ventilation."

ALL STOPS TO are proudly the 'original' destination scroll inspired artworks.
When first launched by Marika's former side-project PrintDolls back in 2007, ALL STOPS TO swiftly became a homewares phenomenon across Australia—seeing a drove of copycats emerge worldwide!
Destination blinds are the former cloth scrolls from old buses, trams and trains, which the driver would wind around to display the end-of-the-line, before the signs were replaced with modern digital screens. Authentic blinds have been collected for many years by transport enthusiasts, and are now a much desired wall decoration.
Inspired by these vintage scrolls, Marika recreated one for herself, and in homage to her beloved childhood locale (the Northern Beaches of Sydney), she personalised it with places that were near and dear to her heart.
That piece was the spark for ALL STOPS TO—a nostalgic range of screen-printed destination scrolls, representing meaningful regions from all over Australia. Rather than simply reproduce existing blinds, Marika reinvented them, and based the new scrolls upon neighbourhoods, so they specifically related to where people lived, worked and played.
The ALL STOPS TO collection is now SOLD OUT.

“It is hard to believe this is the first individual project from emerging young architect Marika Jarv. So confidently is this house rendered and so brave is its form, that it belies her relative youth. Jarv has successfully captured the spirit of this quintessential Australian holiday home, but in a totally contemporary manner”

LIMITED EDITION PRINT
WALL of SOUND is a clever little typographic musical ‘mash-up’ in print.
Named after the music production technique developed by record producer Phil Spector, WALL of SOUND is a limited edition print—5 years in the making—dreamt up in homage to musical artists from around the world.
Over 500 names have been interlinked, by combining the first and last words, or letters, from the names of bands or solo artists. The resulting text was then formed into a spiral, inspired by the continuous groove of an old vinyl record.
“And it goes a little somethin’ like this...”

Bistro Boulevard is a bustling French restaurant in Avalon, which is owned by one of my oldest and dearest friends Nathalie, and her husband Patrice. The bistro has a very long history, with Nat's parents Alain and Caroline first opening it back in 1973 (where it was known as Le Boulevard). After a bit of a refurbishment, Nathalie & Patrice took over the restaurant a few years ago.

Two wedges which intersect generate the distinct form of the house. From the entry point the two wedges extend in opposite directions; the masonry wedge into the earth, and the lightweight timber wedge toward the ocean and sky.

Project completed whilst working at Peter Stutchbury Architecture
This project was an opportunity to produce a lower-cost building that would satisfy the client's faith in a work of architecture being an educative tool. A skillion roof connects the building with site and highlight glazing gives the roof a lightness that sits at ease with the surrounding tree canopy. The entry space is deliberately grand and communicates both the site beyond and the life within.
