House Boat

Check out the stunning interiors on this house boat - yes, house boat! Spotted on Est, this three level, four bedroom, two bathroom and two galley kitchen house boat was custom-fit by Melbourne design duo, Pipkorn & Kilpatrick. The design team, Jane Kilpatrick and Anna Pipkorn (who had formed their design firm after working together at previous design companies and this project was their first design commission) worked hard to create 'generous' spaces, something that boats often lack. The results are stunning. The interiors are clean, innovative and timeless, and for the multi-generation family that use this boat for their holidays, these interiors will not date. Read more about the project from a Vogue Living article here.

Here is another stylish project by Melbourne design firm, Hecker Guthrie - this time they have transformed a former Melbourne warehouse into an elegant and serene yoga studio.  The prolific design firm used a tight palette of pale timber, rice paper and linen, and as a result have created a stunning space of light and calm.

Bridge House, Melbourne

 

This is the famous Bridge House, which was designed by architect, Robin Boyd (1919-1971) and it is located in Melbourne. It is a revered piece of Modernism architecture and it has been recently given a sympathetic update by architect, Stephen Jolson nearly 60 years after it was built. Dealing with the Robin Boyd Foundation and the council, Jolson must have felt the weight of responsibility during this renovation. As we can see from these photographs as featured in Vogue Living, the results are impressive. There is a lovely understated luxe and relaxed informality to the house, while the structure and other original details of the house have been exposed and celebrated. Read more about Boyd and the house here.
