Concrete and glass embracing an amazing ocean view. Feet dug deep into the slope to anchor and provide privacy. Seamless transition from interior to exterior takes entertaining to another level. Luxury finishes of leather and timber soften the stark lines. And, of course, a pool to die for. A contemporary family home by SAOTA - Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects with interiors by Antoni Associates. Skinny dip anyone?
I'm in Sydney for the trade fairs and I'm stalking in Melbourne. I could have arranged that a little. Perhaps I could have made it to an open for inspection if I had chosen a Sydney home. No instead I am in South Yarra in my virtual world. Pity I can't see this one in the flesh. So much is promised in the photos, so much unseen. A little snooping in person would be the only thing that could satisfy me. Link here while it lasts.
A contemporary home of plywood, fibre cement and polished concrete by Sydney architects Watershed Design. Multiple living areas which continue out to poolside while bedrooms are on the upper level with leafy views. Passive solar design and consideration of cross ventilation aid cooling and heating but for all its green credentials it is the stunning modern design that impresses. Stalking moments from many Beach in Sydney. Link here while it lasts.
Don't let the white on white with gold accents fool you as you move through this Sydney house. A splash of colour on the front door, dramatic wallpaper in another room, cleverly patterned tile in the powder room give you just a hint of the riot of colour and wallpaper that awaits when you climb the stairs or venture out to the pool cabana. Interior designer Greg Natale takes it to another level with his bold pattern clashes, papered ceilings and bathroom tiling. A glam house, a wham house! Love the striped wallpaper down by the pool? Did the purple chevron paper in the Adore magazine post (the room complete with David Bowie and tufting) tickle your fancy? Both wallpapers are from Greg's new stripe range for Porter's Paints. Hollywood Regency meets retro meets rock star glam. Mix it up anyway you want.
Perched over dramatic boulders with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Twelve Apostles mountain range, this double-level apartment in Clifton, Cape Town, South African has been stripped and reconfigured to create the ultimate luxury pad. Cocktail bar, wine cellar, cinema room, gym, bespoke detailing, extensive art collection and an infinity pool to match the view ... check! Another amazing project that could only be by Antoni Associates.
