Concrete house reinterprets Victorian architecture
A construction project inspired by the Victorian era but created for a modern family – this is how it can be Concrete house the Nobbs Radford Architects describe.
Concrete house – the project was inspired by the Victorian era
It works at first glance Concrete house in Sydney, Australia, modern and minimalist. But on closer inspection, the building reveals itself to be a quiet beauty inspired by the Victorian era. And indeed – the facade has the same proportions and shape as an old residential building – narrow and long windows, massive construction and only a compact construction volume. Thanks to the innovative design, the new building blends in perfectly with the surroundings – all neighboring houses are old town villas from the Victorian era.
Modern concrete house with stylish interior
The interior of the Concrete house convinces with an eclectic look that combines the Victorian interior design with modern furniture. The room layout – spacious living room on the ground floor, small library with fireplace and cozy seating area – is typical of the Victorian era. The richly ornamented ceiling creates a visual connection to the classic style.
The decor is simple but very stylish – the furniture is in neutral colors such as beige, white and gray. The warm wood color of the library and the fitted kitchen contrasts with the raw beauty of the exposed concrete interior walls.
