A Look Inside


This Sydney house found on the Upper North Shore is quite a wonderful example of the design principles of Frank Lloyd Wright, sustainable materials and warm colour palette. These type of houses began being built around the 1950s in the suburbs of the Upper North Shore which border the national parks.
This house has been featured in a few Australian interiors magazines including Belle and House & Garden (can't you tell from the last photo?). It is now up for sale, my sources tell me around AUS$1.5m. When I saw the house on my trawl through house listings, I immediately thought of my girlfriend A from Thrifted Treasure. So A this post is for you and your wonderful tripod and other mid century delights you have.

  1. I always look forward to these posts Engracia, you always find the most wonderful homes! Wow, 1.5 mill is pretty good for the upper north shore, I was surprised at the price (not that I can afford it!!!). Love how it is surrounded by trees and love that last image:) Thanks for sharing another wonderful home with us! Have a lovely Tuesday ~ Tina x

  3. This is beautiful. I'm a big fan of Frank Lloyd Wright and this does remind me of his style.

  4. I thought I recognised it from a mag! We looked at 'The Pyramid House' in turramurra when we were looking to buy. I can't remember the name of the architect but it was very similar to this one, set in the trees with a beautiful fireplace in the centre and lots of big windows. And it was also very reasonably priced (under $1mil, 2years ago). Have a lovely day, Janette x
