“Nygren Residence. A European Country-house mood for an in-city town house, nestled in the sustainable village of Serenbe — an eco-community that the Nygrens founded featuring antiques, arches, and a refined rustic style.”

Sophisticated, informed, beautiful. By Smith Hanes Studio

I have one more New Zealand home by Bull O’Sullivan Architecture to share with you. This one has a bit less wood used than the last, and instead features alot of green carpeting which to my horror, I really enjoy. It is like being in a forest, and the carpet is the mossy, grassy ground. And I have a thing for random size windows, so that sliver of a window in the bedroom (complete with shutters it looks like) is going into my inspiration folder.

I found this really cool New Zealand home with a midcentury modern vibe and lots and lots of wood and had to share. Designed by Bull O’Sullivan Architecture, it has some interesting features like the groupings of light fixtures throughout the main space (an electrician’s nightmare) and the floor to ceiling window looking out onto the backyard. I’m not sure I could live with this much wood but it certainly makes the space feel warm and “earthy”. 

Simple sophistication, big impact. Foyer by Mark D. Sikes.

Exposed brick and knotty pine cathedral ceilings, split level with walls of windows framing the views of native bush. I’m stalking the 70s in Sydney’s Castle Cove. The Erby House by Jonathan Erby of Devine Erby Mazlin completed 1971. A time capsule waiting to swing again. In my dreams I’m the new owner filling it full of 70s classics and inviting you all round for a fondue party. (If it ever was mine, hand on my heart, I would promise not to paint anymore of the pine.) Via Modern House.
