Modern House: Concrete Dream

This contemporary home, designed by Australian architects/designers Tony Owen Partners for a Sydney concrete contractor, makes extensive, elegant use of its owner’s favorite material. Inspired by the traditional building materials and styles of the Mediterranean, the overall design is anchored by the two gigantic, curving concrete shells (inspired by Mediterranean fishing boat sails) that make up two of its largest exterior walls. Inside, the minimal, clean lines of the modern interior are defined by concrete in every form imaginable: rough, polished, stained, dyed, molded, made into composites with other materials, just to start. Other hard, shiny surfaces complement the concrete throughout, as does an abundance of windows and natural light. Note the sculptural staircase (inspired by one in the James Bond film “Never Say Never Again” in the center, adjoining the courtyard.
