DesignShuffle take us on a tour of Australia
Last year we showcased our pick of the best bars in Sydney in terms of interior design, and also a selection of the fave home product boutiques from our Sydney scout Natalie. There are so many exciting design projects happening in and around Sydney and we are always keen to share them here on our blog. But we were especially delighted when Susi from DesignShuffle offered to take us further afield as part of our continuing look at intriguing interior spaces in Australia…
I’m Susi and I write as a guest blogger for DesignShuffle.com, a fabulous social media site that promotes interior designers and their work from around the world. My writing focuses on things I’m passionate about: interior design ideas, home furnishings, gardening, travel and Art. I get to look at gorgeous things all day and write about them. I’m a very lucky girl.
I recently came across the Australian Interior Design Awards for 2011 and knew I had to share the designs with Scarlet Opus. Australian design is cutting edge, modern, and at the same time, often has a casual or relaxed edge to it. Here are some of my favourite interiors from the land down under. I hope they inspire. I know several have me wanting to book a trip to Oz.
Above: The Saffire Freycinet resort and spa in Tasmania is an amalgam of natural and modern elements. The undulating wood ceilings echo the hills across the bay, surrounding this lounge in nature. Gorgeous!
Above: Another gorgeous blending of indoor and outdoor space is Solis house in Queensland. It’s difficult to tell where inside ends and outside begins. Designed by Renato D’Ettorre Architects.
Above: As superb bathroom designs with a water view should do, this minimalist white bathroom at the Solis house lets the focus remain on the stunning surroundings. I’d be happy to never leave!
Above: The open living space in the Hill Plain House in Victoria by Wolveridge Architects is dramatic and dark. The wall of wood in the living area is visible from the kitchen and dining area. Love the yellow. Do you?
Above: Located in Victoria, the Open House designed by Architects EAT, employs wood on both the floors and ceiling. The dramatic dark stairs float in the space.
Above: Another incredible staircase that looks more like sculpture. This open kitchen, with staircase on the right, is in the Edwards Moore designed Cubby House, also in Victoria.
Above: Love the colour block wall of glass that extends beyond the bedroom. The glass sheathes an entire exterior wall of the house. Designed by James Russell Architect Pty Ltd in Queensland.
Above: Speaking of cool walls, love the accordion folding glass wall in this bathroom. And yes, that is a bed outside on the deck. Is this a bedroom design whose time has come? Coledale Eco Lodge in New South Wales, designed by Hare + Klein Interior Design.
