This house is designed by Nicholas Murray and situated in west part of Melbourne, Australia. It was one of the many warehouses in this area but become great contemporary living place. A rustic yet elegant approach was taken to combine the original characteristics of the structure with the refined contemporary lifestyle of its occupants to create a symphony of harmonious contradiction. With a carefully controlled palette of materials, this split level retreat is an epitome of inner city living, commanding a magnificent view over the city and Docklands skyline on its top two levels. The interior is separated for different zones, some of which show almost raw materials while other are covered with modern surfaces. One of the most cool zones that is more modern than others is cooking area in the kitchen. Not only appliances there are made of stainless steel but also cabinets. [Nicholas Murray]
