The house is like an anthology of modern design, spread out across 4,300 square feet. In the formal living room alone, there’s a Japan chair by Finn Juhl, a Hang-It-All rack by Charles and Ray Eames, a Scissor chair by Pierre Jeanneret, a Wiggle stool by Frank Gehry, and an Akari lamp by Isamu Noguchi. George began his collection in the 1990s with a pair of Paul McCobb stools, which sit near the fireplace.

The left side of the pool features a terrace and a large outdoor kitchen, while the right side includes suspended lighting and the changing rooms. The masonry screen—which is inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian period—allows for a dynamic display of light and shadows on the terrace.

The primary bathroom was once a small, cramped bedroom. We added design elements such as a floating bench which was inspired by the home's floating concrete hearth.

The upgraded and reconfigured kitchen breaks out into the new addition where the raised roof floods this area with light and views of the Yellow Gum trees. The bushland view is opened up and enjoyed from a deep blockwork window seat.

All the little details combine to create a cohesive and beautiful language between materials.

The high wrap around roof form to the dining area completely transforms the northern elevation of the home and provides a backstop for the new alfresco roof.

The fireplace wall was freshened with a new vertical window-true to neighboring homes, the added horizontal hearth spans the width and becomes a dining banquette.

Vistas at every turn were considered. Here, the new vertical window adds more light, while the hallway acts as a gallery space.
