When is an apartment more than shelter, more than home? When it is art. The sculptural form of this loft apartment in West Melbourne by Adrian Amore Architects blurs the line between habitation and installation. Curvaceous and twisting, the staircase leads to first the sleeping level then rises to the rooftop terrace.

(P.S. You may recognise the space from my real estate stalking here.)

Light and shadow, solid and pierced, concrete and timber, private and public, inside and out. Family home, coastal home, another home by Wolveridge Architects. Eltham South, Blairgowrie in Victoria and, yes, also shortlisted for the Australian Interior Design Awards 2014.

Simply put… a modern extension to an historic home. In reality… delicious design. The Northcote Residence by Wolveridge Architects, shortlisted for the Australian Interior Design Awards 2014.

Dreams are made of this. The adaptive re-use of an old school hall, its new interior folding and unfolding within the original space. “… where to start when to blur when to infill what to leave out what to detail when to stop …” Westwyck Unit4 by Melbourne based multiplicity

I’ve been spoilt lately. Beautiful, original content has been mine for the sharing. The team at the generalist (my new must read) have been sending me images from some of my favourite homes, like landscape architect and TV presenter Brendan Moar‘s home. A retrolicious, colour saturated inner Sydney terrace house brimming with art, ceramics and glass. Of course the outdoor spaces play a major role too. Check out that deck! You can read more about Brendan’s home here on the generalist.
