The first thing a person will note when seeing the Spiegel Haus is its folding front. At least, that's what the protrusion by the entrance looks like at a quick glance. Although static in reality, this design touch does being a sense of movement to the structure that is refreshing.
Overall, however, the Spiegel Haus focuses on elements that bring a sense of relaxation to those residing inside. With tons of open spaces and natural lighting, it's hard to imagine anything but enjoying a good rest. This ambiance is complemented with a robust design by Carterwilliamson Architects.
Located in Sydney, Australia, the Spiegel Haus is stunning. The studio write, "Our clients’ trust and vision has commissioned a home that responds to the constraints of inner-city living and the complexities of family life through spatial planning and materiality in order to maximise space, light, longevity and joy."
