A house in the Melbourne suburb of Eltham, designed by local architecture and interior design studio Alistair Knox. It is a warm and sunny house, with plenty of indoor greenery creating a wonderful connection between the inside and the outside. At the same time, the architect created a dreamlike landscape surrounded by eucalyptus trees.
The interiors blend the history of the house including a pool table built in 1890 from fiddleback wood, and bluestone stone floor with Sunni and Pete’s own ‘happy hodge-podge’ of treasured possessions. Sunni describes a mutual love of natural materials and bright colours, that create an understated eclectic vibe here. The home is scattered with artworks from friends (including a painting by Gabriel Curtin and collection of Nell Pearson works), ‘lucky finds’ items of furniture, and a ‘gazillion’ plants.
