Located in the northern suburbs of Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia, this unique cylindrical tower house was designed by local interior design studio Wowowa. The huge towers refer to the remains of a geometric farm and the tall brick-water structure that Wowowa and the client Shared a fascination with. Their robust nature makes them feel protected from the elements -- so strong that neither fire nor flood can destroy them.
Merri Creek house is made up of two turrets – the front one split into rumpus below & study above, the middle turret housing the dining table and wall sweeping decolletage staircase. The third turret is deconstructed, meant to be likened to an eroding ruin approaching the creek abutting the site. A giant curved window cuts the surface and looks out towards an old magnolia tree.
