The whole house is beautiful. But that pool.....WOW!!!!
Very rarely does one come across gorgeous backyards! I live in Zimbabwe and having visited Adelaide a few years ago in the middle of summer, I can testify to Adelaide being much hotter than Zimbabwe during the summer! I'm sure what works to kept the warmth in and heat out in Adelaide would do wonders in Zimbabwe!
Wow - I'd move to Adelaide to live in this house. Beautiful.
wow would have never expected this in my town
How much would renovations and design like that cost?! It is absolutely gorgeous though!
I agree with Amiee, that pool is awesome! House is great too.
there's a delightful sense of "Alice through the Looking Glass" ...or stepping through the Wardrobe into Narnia - with the astonishing sense of space and light in what appears from the street to be a traditional cottage. i lived in one years ago...light at front and rear but not a great deal in the middle. and that pool with [i imagine] the constantly changing reflections it would cast into the interior is brilliantly placed
Now I have to say this is not only a brilliant concept but VERY beautifully and sensitively and intelligently executed. It makes the new houses in Europe look very tired and bourgeois. Congratulations!
Very, very, very interesting house... Amazing concept, good execution... I like it all...including the pool! Beautiful!
I love it...It has awesome style, functionality, and looks like a real good time!
It's the stairs that do it for me. Wow.
