California House by InForm & Pleysier Perkins
InForm together with Pleysier Perkins have designed the California House, located in Brighton, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.
Description
This modernist inspired architecture, with deep horizontal roof planes, extensive glazing and emphasis on outdoor living is perfectly suited to the Australian lifestyle and climate.
The California house maximises the potential of its corner site with all living spaces orientated towards north facing gardens. The upper floor accommodates a master domain and three other bedrooms, separated by the stair well.
Stained western red cedar cladding contrasts with white fascias, tiled fireplaces and silver travertine that flows throughout the ground floor and external terrace.
Design: InForm and Pleysier Perkins
Photography: Rhiannon Slatter
