Elysium 154 in Australia by BVN Architects

BVN Architects have made another masterpiece.

This house enjoys a truly wonderful site, which slopes gently from the street on the south toward a small park and open space to the north. The softly, sweeping, curved walls and forms which identify this house are generated by an intuitive response to achieve both the north-east aspect and views to the northern parkland areas. The external textured wall finishes fold back into the interior of the dwelling along walls and ceilings where carefully detailed edges and transitions with smooth internal walls allow the threshold between inside and out to be distorted. Drawing the external garden and pool spaces into the building has amplified the sense of subtropical luxury.
