Constrast between the Edwardian home in front and the modern at times brutalist rear extension with its strong solid forms. Contrast between block and marble and timber cabinetry. Constrast between dark and light, in and out. All this contrast in a South Yarra, Melbourne home, the result of a successful collaboration between Pop Architecture and Beatrix Rowe Interior Design.

Everyone could use a little Hamptons getaway. Even in Moscow.
Living in megapolis, a family with two children wanted to build a house in picturesque Moscow suburbs to become a perfect escape from busy life in the city. It had to be comfortable equilibrium between simplicity and sophistication, functionality and sustainability. The typical Finnish log Honka house was thoroughly adapted to the client’s needs with utmost attention to architectural details. The interior of the house is mature, well-balanced and holistic, as we adhered the concept of well-known Hamptons style encapsulating the relaxation of a beach house, but dolled up with luxury finishes. The home has comforting palette of stone and handsomely stained wood which reflects calm and relax vibe in harmony with the surroundings, while strong graphic accents bring in the modern chic.

There’s an elegance and sophistication with a dose of European flair to the work of Austin, TX based firm Christina Cole and Co. It’s really quite simple which helps draw your attention to the architecture.

“Anna-Carin is passionate about connecting the Scandinavian principles of simplicity, functionality and sustainability with Australian architecture and lifestyle.”
