Local architectural studio Atelier Andy Carson designs the new curvaceous home entitled the Matopos in Sydney Australia. The building is designed for the gallerist Judith Neilson and features a foundation that is the existing base of the 178-square-meter plot on the corner and overlooks a beach. The home is inspired by its surroundings and to capture that through the interiors, the upper level is designed with deep windows to create large views that overlook the beach and water.
The studio states, "The existing building didn't celebrate its relationship with its breathtaking surroundings... we sought to open the interiors to very focused views and create a material palette that spoke to its location [...] Thoughtfully placed windows frame vistas of the sea, while polished plaster interior walls reflect views of the blue and yellow hues of ocean and sand back into the home."
