Architectural miracle in an Australian “shanty”

This Australian home was finished in nearly twenty years. The owner, designer has been inspired by 40 years of professional experience and by his architectural favorites. The starting point was a shed completed with concrete panels and metal structures. The close relationship between the interior and the environment is manifested in the structure as well, the plants and rocks are just the same way part of the interior as the garden.

On the whole the furnishing is colorful and evokes the geometric and optical arts of the sixties. The bohemian details prevail best among the white frames that are similar to the exhibiting spaces of art galleries. On one side the main room is framed by huge glass windows.

The green plants come down in an idyllic way from the white shelves that are sagging in the space all along. Under such a shelf you can sit down almost like in an arbor on the ruby red puff or floral armchair, but a metal stove also looks good.

In front of the windows, in a corner bordered with a sofa and armchairs was created the café, resting area. The light, glass sheet table and the white seats that are in contrast with the black carpet, provide a relaxed environment.

In the middle, the simple glass table is surrounded by retro, teak wood backing chairs. The display cabinet that can be seen behind it smuggles modern lines as well into the interior.

After the front door, around a huge glass sheet table there are colorful vitra chairs. All the accessories and paintings of the house are intended to emphasize this cheerful color harmony. Snow white cabinets frame the stainless, metal kitchen furniture.

The study almost was placed outdoors. Under the drawing board rocks lay and fresh, green leaves “give” shade.

Thousands of objects capture the eye, from the red flamingo through futuristic paintings ‘til to optic art carpet. The manifold, many patterned, multicolored furnishing yet sets into a unique whole.
