I remember this home,
which was photographed for Home Beautiful last year.
At the time I thought it was a benchmark design
statement for homes in Australia, right now.
I still do. I would happily move in with a toothbrush.
I think this home will sell fast!

Love the mirrored rangehood - how lovely
and I really love that "bubble" chandalier over the dining table.

"Design4Space" designed it,
I think the flow from kitchen to outdoor is amazing.
Shame they never had a pic of it's exterior,
I was wondering for so long how this home looked from the street,
(eg. Federation, Victorian,
I assume a terrace as it is quite narrow)

I thought the indoor courtyard was ingenious,
I know it's been done a million times before,
but they usually look crap - this one is so elegant.

I imagine if you are not a fan of neutral decor palates,
you won't be a fan of his home.

And here's the Master Plan!

AND here's what the Agent said about it!
