A thorough coating of white paint unifies the studio space, while textured rugs and furnishings give it some personality. Ben and Emilio’s latest piece, an aluminum Library Lamp, sits on a credenza behind an Alvar Aalto 544 sofa while a Noguchi pendant hangs overhead.

Nestled in Victoria, Australia, this 4,844-square-foot house is comprised of a series of layers with intersecting areas that create private vistas. On the grounds are limestone shelves and underground caves, while just beyond is the sea. To take advantage of the proximity to the beach—and make up for the lack of views—St. Kilda–based architectural practice Robson Rak added a spiral staircase to allow the residents to take in panoramas of the water as they ascend the stairs. Multiple outdoor terraces and expansive glazed doors frame interesting internal perspectives, while fusing the interior with the landscape.

The tour took us first to the three small stages on the western side of the building: the Drama Theater (which seats 544), the Playhouse (which seats 398), and the Studio (which seats between 220 and 350  depending on its layout). Then we headed into the Concert Hall, where the Sydney Symphony, Australian Chamber Orchestra, and Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, among others, perform. Both the Concert Hall and the Opera Hall (where Opera Australia, the Australian Ballet, and the Sydney Opera House perform) are incredibly intimate. The Concert Hall seats 2,679 and the Opera Hall just 1,507. We weren't able to take any photos inside the halls as they were preparing for performances though we were able to enjoy the intermission spaces behind the halls, facing the water and the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
