Despite the apparent expansiveness, interior designer Allison Pye grounds the floating reverie with candy-coloured moments. Among the classy timber and metal furniture, eyes are drawn to a blushing pink table centralised in the kitchen, otherwise the turquoise carpet in a living room. Artworks of Anne Ferran, Dale Frank and John Kelly \ anchor themselves against the unique backdrop. The architectural language is not glaringly evident, but they serve a great companion for other bespoke elements to come to life.
Rooms of the house are orientated to appreciate the seasonal plants landscaped by Taylor Cullity Lethlan. The landscape fully encapsulates the overall appreciation of the designer’s masterful carving of concrete. The trees and shrubs revealing the external tapered edges, and scalloped slate moments to reflect the fish-scaled roof shingles… the lush greenery is ready to embrace the eventual aging of the concrete. And soon in the many years ahead, Twig House may not be perceived as an architecture built from but instead spawn from the site.
Ugh, take my breath away with my newfound love for concrete!
