    Nice, looks like it is at one of the northern beaches of Sydney.

    That's amazing Vasco. Interesting that an Australian has a Fleur-de-lis inlaid into the wall? There must be a good reason. Some French ancestry perhaps (?)

    Very striking! I wonder if 1 or 2 fewer decks would have improved the lines? In any case, stunning indeed.

    Very hot hear in Sydney, especially our summer afternoon western sun, I suspect the architect was trying to protect from that whilst maintaining the winter penetration :)

    By the way thanks Vasco for posting this, nice to see some of the great architecture we have down here ;)

    I actually think it is very Sydney, admittedly the size & scale maybe not, but Federation architecture is very Sydney and over the last 20-30 years, the typical Australian house owner has renovated these Federation houses adding extensions, either of a similar style or more recently with a more contemporary feel :)

    PWS that one has a stunning interior, love what was done with the rear wall/chimney. But the exterior I just cant understand it. On so many levels it just doesn't make any sense, maybe some one else can explain it to me?

    Tying in the cedar shingles from the front to a massive contemporary style box? Is it trying to be modern with that massive opening to the 2nd floor veranda and then covering it with the shingles to not make it modern?

    Personally I think it works well, as I understand from the architects, they were trying to incorporate original house materials ie sandstone, shingles, face brick, into an obviously contemporary rear extension, see here for their own words. http://mckarchitects.com/?p=281

    "Expansive and see-through are two ways I would describe this house owned by sometimes-actor, sometimes-developer Brad Blumenthal and designed by David Thompson and Kevin Southerland at the architecture firm Assembledge. It's got a 180-degree view, an infinity pool, and a whole lot of glass walls. Imagine waking up in this bedroom with the city in all its smoggy glory laid out below you: You'd feel like Aladdin floating on a magic carpet of sustainably harvested Brazilian wood."
