You may think you’ve seen this house before… and you have but from the architect’s portfolio not through the lens of a real estate photographer. Funny how things don’t look quite so perfect. The everyday creeps in like wrinkles in the sheets and furniture layouts in long shots that don’t quite look as good as a close cropped image. Hell who am I kidding. This house is pretty darn perfect regardless of differences in photos. I’m stalking the Yarraville House by Techné . Link here while it lasts. (Thanks Andrea!)

Almost perfect. Almost real. Almost losing my mind trying to convince myself they really are computer generated. Definitely lovely. Florence apartment interiors by Filippo Carandini.
