Imagine This – Organic Beach House

An amazing beach waterfront home in Sydney Australia. The use of new and aged timbers, stone and marble provide a wonderfully natural and organic feel to what is a very elegant  and modern home.

Extraordinary consideration has been given to the use of lighting in this home with a wonderful array of custom fittings.

This house is truly amazing and I am adding it to my blog as a source of inspiration that I am sure to refer to countless of times! Have a look at the images and be amazed!
