An Eye-Catching Modern House Filled with Natural Light (House Tour)

#ModernHouse #HouseTour #Architecture
Concrete Blonde is an eye-catching modern house, filled with natural light. The architecture speaks to both the restoration of its heritage half, as well as the concrete and contemporary interventions completed by Carter Williamson. The modern house boasts exceptional attention to detail, bettered by its considered furniture selection, as well as the interplay of shadows and the introduction of natural light.

The name for this eye-catching dream home stems from three major aspects – the blonde brickwork, the concrete floor and the Principal Architect Shaun Carter’s favourite band in the 80s, Concrete Blonde – thus, the Annandale home was dubbed Concrete Blonde.

The clients dreamed of renovating a home to create an eye-catching modern house, filled with natural light. Incorporating the heritage façade overlay was incredibly important; the additions to the home’s architecture and interior design expresses a great deal of respect for the existing dwelling. The terrace façade is only one aspect of the modern home’s story, highlighted by the house tour – the back of the building represents its next chapter.

Envisioned for the modern house was the incorporation of a lush, green garden. Present in the house tour are moments of natural light and greenery, felt all throughout and around the home. These fresh instances of garden creep into the concrete building, informing conversations between internal and external spaces. The service walls anchor the modern house with soft green – interrupting the coolness of the concrete materiality – and flows in unison with the natural interior design palette. This speaks to the ambiance of the eye-catching dream house, giving power to the dialogue between its architecture and interior design.
