Brutalist luxury

Posted on Wed, 9 Oct 2024 by midcenturyjo

Perched on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, the Norfolk Residence by Travis Walton redefines the beach house as a moody, luxurious hotel like retreat. The design offers sweeping views of Sorrento golf course and beyond. Inspired by the clients’ wish for contrast with their city home, the design features rich materials like off-form concrete, travertine floors and patinaed brass. The interior is a sequence of experiential moments, enhancing the atmosphere of raw luxury throughout.

Very interesting. I would feel imprisoned; not very creative and probably stand with my face pressed to the glass staring at the outside … everyday. I suppose it could be made more livable for more faceted people with art, mirrors, wall hangings (think: castle-like) and a few plants here and there. It might survive a pounding storm. There, I found a positive. Thanks for this chilling prelude to winter!
