The pavilion is an important concept in Australian architecture at the moment. Interconnected spaces that are independent "boxes", parts of a whole. Living, sleeping, family, formal. Pleysier Perkins is based in Prahan, Melbourne but their portfolio extends to the Noosa hinterland, a beautiful place for a beautiful space. Homes are linear, address the outdoors and are sleek, modern and hard edged.

Behind an Edwardian facade in Richmond, Melbourne Architects EAT have designed this extraordinary renovation and extension. The design is sophisticated yet minimal reflecting a contemporary lifestyle. Light filters through strip glazing in the ceiling while black gloss floors anchor the white Edwardian jewel box. Hard concrete finishes mark the transition to the new. Love this space. Love the filmy black drapes as room divider. Love.
I came home from a boring day at work to find an email from Greg Natale, our fav designer, in my inbox. Here's what he had to say to go along with the totally breath-taking photos he included.
"This is one of my favorite projects. This house was designed for a couple with 4 children. Each room is themed a different colour and Florence Broadhurst pattern to reflect its use or user. We wanted this house to be full of personality. We mixed organic and geometric print with modern, retro and repro furniture to produce a result that is an interesting mix of opposites."
OMG!!! Greg - these rooms are utterly fabulous. The patterns, the colours... you are a genius. (And keep the photos coming!!!!)

Melbourne architectural and interior design firm Architects EAT was established in 2000 and has over 20 years combined experience. Their designs take into account what they term as the "enrichment of lifestyle" and centre on strong design aesthetics and timeless experiences. They believe that architecture must be experienced intuitively firsthand. Their approach is about the physicality and haptic (sense of touch) experience of a building and it's materials. They also maintain a strong carbon neutral ethos. Their work reflects their desire to explore the senses and design for a brighter future.
