Urban Oasis
Built of concrete and steel, with wood and stone accents to add warmth and texture, Kooyong House in Melbourne, Australia is truly an idyllic urban retreat. More photos and info here at YellowTrace.

Designed by Workroom
and built by Agushi, the modern form of Kooyong House comprises a large
white cement rendered box atop a ground-level glass & off–form
concrete volume. The use of raw industrial materials like concrete and
steel compliments luscious timber paneling and opulent stone surfaces,
creating a warm and masculine ambience. The house consists of five
bedrooms, three living zones, study, gym and a four-car garage.
The idea behind this project was to create a calm urban oasis. The
design fosters conviviality with an effort made for all the spaces to be
connected to one another – be that between the living and functional
spaces, inside and outside, or different levels within the house. The
design intent has always been that each area is a small part of a whole,
rather than an individual environment.
This house is the sum of its parts. Not one part is more important than
the other. The garden, which literally engulfs the house, is the green,
organic backdrop that breathes life into the house. The architecture and
interiors work together seamlessly, while furniture, art, object and
styling by Simone Haag, adds texture and scale. Each element of the
house is chosen to compliment or contrast with one another, designed
with the same level of rigour down to the smallest detail. This creates
a sense of consistency and familiarity that adds to the depth of
experience.
