Danish design imprint Vipp continues to breach international borders with the launch of its latest guesthouse, dubbed Vipp Tunnel. This can be found on the Bruny Island in Tasmani, which is designed by Room11, a design firm based in Hobart. The Brutalist structure is the perfect blend of nature, architecture, and art into one form.
It overlooks views of the ocean and the landscape surrounding the home. Overall, it balances a brutalist theme with nature and inside, there is the V3 kitchen with an all-aluminum design that roots the main living space. This is joined by the Vipp Swivel chairs which are upholstered in Australian sheepskin to add some soft contrast against the raw exterior.
