Tales From the Box

So if you haven’t heard the news (because it hasn’t been announced here) our major renovations start in earnest this week. This is an exciting time because we have been planning these reno’s ever since we moved in (3 years Thursday) and have been going through the motions for the actual building since February this year. I am hoping to write post a blog every few days about the process of getting to where we are in terms of the ideas behind our slightly odd choices. So until i have any physical evidence of renovation work, I present to you….The Inspiration series!

On a cold blustery December day – I was wedded to my wife at the large and lavish Fairmont Resort – nestled in the glorious surrounds of the Jameson Valley. The day following our wedding as we journeyed back down the mountain, we drove past this house which inspired us – due to the use of colour (greys/blacks) and the use of red timber to offset the color. That and it bore very close links with our own house on stilts. I suppose we want our house to combine a genuine Australian architectural style with a sense of classic modernism – a love for all things square, simple and sophisticated.

In fact if you want to buy it – its available…don’t delay buy today!
