‘I lost my mother in the UK and she left me a bit of money, so I decided to put a pool on the roof because I knew it would make her very happy to see us sitting in the pool.” says Aussie costumier, Rose Chong of her little block of blue in the heart of Fitzroy. Chong says she does all her thinking up there, and that you can see the pool on Google Earth. She calls it the Good Room, and even holds meetings up there. “I mean it’s not suitable for high class swimming, it’s only suitable for sitting around, floating on the pineapple and a bit of drinking.”
