Bendigo, 2015

Set within three acres of native bushland, this low-lying single-storey house has been given a new streamlined allure with walls composed of concrete panels, a floor of poured aggregate polished to a high sheen and exposed, robust I-beams. Stained black kitchen joinery and black bricks lining the barrel-curve of the bathroom underscore the industrial edge. Mid-century furniture classics are offset by hard-edged office storage systems while the occasionally post-modern piece adds just the right touch of quirk.
