From the front its general design theme is immediately apparent, consisting of rectangular prisms of all different sizes combined to create a complicatedly appealing form. Since such geometric strictness may be imposing and even brutalist on its own, a few measures are taken to bring approachability and warmth to the residence. All its window frames and doors are finished in medium-tone wood; plant life native to the area is sprinkled all over the exterior of the house.</p><br/><p>Inside the abode, a similar theme ensues. All the rooms of the home have been significantly improved an modernized, with some becoming integrated into new outdoor spaces. Despite that, the decor of each room remains comfortable and actually fairly traditional, with clean and simple fixtures and furniture. The color palette throughout the home tends towards a mix of wood and a creamy white, mirroring the outside of the home. This similarity is essential to uniting indoor and outdoor spaces, especially in rooms that serve as a fusion of both. Each part of the house reflects on the building’;s overall design, one which is truly modern yet also genuinely cozy for a family.</p><br/><img alt="stunningly reinvented australian home features towering indoor outdoor courtyard front entrance thumb Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " height="617" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/stunningly-reinvented-australian-home-features-towering-indoor-outdoor-courtyard-front-entrance-thumb_.jpg" style="" title="Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " width="630" /><br/><p>Even from the very front of the home, some of the complexity of its renovation is revealed. The home sits on 3 levels of usable space, and a geometric ode to those levels appears in the corner where the front door may once have been. The actual main entrance to the house is a low-profile, unframed double door to one side.</p><br/><img alt="stunningly reinvented australian home features towering indoor outdoor courtyard outdoor space shapes thumb Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " height="924" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/stunningly-reinvented-australian-home-features-towering-indoor-outdoor-courtyard-outdoor-space-shapes-thumb_.jpg" style="" title="Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " width="630" /><br/><p>Ocne past the initial, rather conventional street-side face of the home, an expanse of dualistic spaces opens up, with nooks and patio decks easing into the home’;s rooms. This unstructured space, culminating in a semi-enclosed courtyard, is the fruit of the building’;s renovations.</p><br/><img alt="stunningly reinvented australian home features towering indoor outdoor courtyard courtyard straight thumb Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " height="420" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/stunningly-reinvented-australian-home-features-towering-indoor-outdoor-courtyard-courtyard-straight-thumb_.jpg" style="" title="Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " width="630" /><br/><p>The central piece of the home is its indoor-outdoor courtyard, a lofty crossroads between the outdoors, public living spaces, and private chambers. As such, the two-story space has elements of all 3. Wild plant life covers large sections of wall, while wooden flooring and furniture bring a domestic touch. It’;s too open-air to be called a room; instead, it is a meeting point and thoroughfare.</p><br/><img alt="stunningly reinvented australian home features towering indoor outdoor courtyard courtyard angle thumb Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " height="955" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/stunningly-reinvented-australian-home-features-towering-indoor-outdoor-courtyard-courtyard-angle-thumb.jpg" style="" title="Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " width="630" /><br/><img alt="stunningly reinvented australian home features towering indoor outdoor courtyard stairs angle thumb Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " height="944" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/stunningly-reinvented-australian-home-features-towering-indoor-outdoor-courtyard-stairs-angle-thumb_.jpg" style="" title="Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " width="630" /><br/><p>A set of stairs leads up the courtyard’;s edge and into the private spaces of the residence.</p><br/><img alt="stunningly reinvented australian home features towering indoor outdoor courtyard stairs side thumb Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " height="420" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/stunningly-reinvented-australian-home-features-towering-indoor-outdoor-courtyard-stairs-side-thumb_.jpg" style="" title="Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " width="630" /><br/><p>Direct access to the outdoors is easy on this side of the courtyard, with two different modes of egress for two different levels of the home’;s deck and yard.</p><br/><img alt="stunningly reinvented australian home features towering indoor outdoor courtyard vew down far thumb Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " height="944" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/stunningly-reinvented-australian-home-features-towering-indoor-outdoor-courtyard-vew-down-far-thumb_.jpg" style="" title="Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " width="630" /><br/><p>More of the dwelling’;s unusual indoor-outdoor structure is revealed by a glance down into the courtyard, showing a loosely-defined area of glass, slatted roofing, and open-top walls. All of these elements coalesce to make the massive space feel wholly outdoors, even though it’;s technically separated from nature.</p><br/><img alt="stunningly reinvented australian home features towering indoor outdoor courtyard view down closer thumb Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " height="746" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/stunningly-reinvented-australian-home-features-towering-indoor-outdoor-courtyard-view-down-closer-thumb_.jpg" style="" title="Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " width="630" /><br/><img alt="stunningly reinvented australian home features towering indoor outdoor courtyard living space main thumb Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " height="352" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/stunningly-reinvented-australian-home-features-towering-indoor-outdoor-courtyard-living-space-main-thumb_.jpg" style="" title="Stunningly Reinvented Australian Home Characteristics Towering Indoor Outside Courtyard home design " width="630" /><br/><p>A family living space, with kitchen, dining, and lounging capabilities, sits on one side of the bottom of the house’;s courtyard.
