Collector House
Posted on Tue, 9 Feb 2021 by midcenturyjo
“The Collector House feels wonderfully relaxed. Sunlight streams in from the central skylight and fills the rooms. The view of the harbour, framed by jacaranda and eucalypts, and the ferries passing by all contribute to the overall sense of calm. It’s a barefoot house – warm and grounded, with space for loved ones to gather.”
There are touches of humour and art, honest materials and a sense of the Aussie vernacular. There are private spaces and places to come together. And then there’s the view. Collector House by Sydney-based interior designers Arent & Pyke.

A rustic modern ranch house

The designer calls it a rustic modern ranch house. I call it a stylish, well-considered series of rooms that move from light to shadow and back again. The overall effect is intimate, cocooning and lovely. California Modern Farmhouse by Sarah Solis Design Studio.
