Janine Allis’ exquisite Melbourne home was undergoing its final design stages at the same time she was a contestant on Australian Survivor. However, taking on two important projects at once is a walk in the park for Allis, founder of Boost Juice Bars and Zoo Retail Group.

Allis only had a few must-haves for her home, created alongside award-winning designer Penny Del Castillo. It needed to be a place of total relaxation where the family can come together while, of course, looking sleek and sophisticated.

From the koi fish pond to the stunning high ceilings and the playfulness of the pickleball court outside, this home is the ultimate combination of luxury and practicality for Allis, husband Jeff and their four children.

Here are some of her favourite things:

When I envisioned the house, I wanted a space that was as close to nature as possible. I wanted the movement, I wanted the fish, I wanted turtles, I wanted a waterfall and a great environment that I could feel relaxed in. It’s my office, it’s my yoga room, it’s just my room.
