Inside An Art Lovers Dream Home Filled with Curiosities (House Tour)

- Imbued with a sense of calm and tranquillity, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects creates a dream home that encourages contemplation. A neutral approach to materiality is complemented by an extensive art collection and sculptural furnishings, inspiring stillness and a sense of wonder for what lies beneath the structure’s outward façade.
Located in the coastal refuge of Balmoral Beach in Sydney’s Mosman, Almora House is a collection of unique spaces. The clients have resided in the house for over twenty years and have come forward with the brief to design an enduring, timeless, maintenance-free dream home that would accommodate their extensive art collection.
Almora House presents a distinctive shape that encourages a soft contemplation. The form of the house itself is organised around a spine that runs almost north-south - the structure stretching its way along this spine, with a series of rooms that push out into the garden, creating small courtyards. Various features throughout the home also encourage contemplation, particularly the bookshelf. Housed in the upstairs library, the bookshelf’s rear side is made of slightly frosted glass, becoming an alluring abstract composition seen from the dining room.
The spine design of the dream home creates an effortless sense of flow in its layout. Inside the front door, there is a guest bathroom and bedroom that open into a courtyard. As you walk south along the spine, the first of the living rooms, a dining room with double-height ceilings and a kitchen unfurl to the left. Beyond the kitchen is an informal room with four glass walls that open into the garden. Upstairs are the master bedroom and powder room, a study and a gallery.
Thoughtful choices surrounding materiality also create a dream home that embodies a poignant sense of calm and introspection. Glass is used to welcome the serenity of the surrounding greenery into the home. A concrete frame is used as a neutral material that showcases the art within the home and inspires calm.
Almora House reveals itself to incite tranquillity, stillness and retrieve from the constant movement of daily life. Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects perfectly balances an appreciation of practicality, art and craftsmanship to create a dream home that acts as a container of curiosities and a hub for the calm moments integral to being present in our fast-paced, modern world.

Hey guys, can you give me the artist names? Kind Regards
Can you please tell us what the kitchen island is made of?
Why dont no vintage luxury houses have big courtyards nowadays , that shit is super vibing
i love how he explaining the wrong side of the bookshelf. It's inspiring how he could make a verbalization of it
the devil is in the detail. And the money 🤣
Vomit. House is tacky and gross.
What is striking about the home is that no one particular place was designed for any one particular piece of art yet each piece of artwork fits so well in the places selected by the owner. The concrete ceiling is phenomenal. I love how it curves like fabric draped across the top of home. It's really spectacular. I also loved how large windows look out onto the surrounding gardens. It's a wonderful fusion of nature and the home. Beautiful home.
This home is SPECTACULAR.
Looks like an amazing contemporary museum, love the art, love the house. This is my new top 5 Local Project homes. Thank you.
I love Brazilian modern architecture vibes through this house. It just feels right in that tropical environment. And I admire owners designing the house around their needs and hobbies.
This is my favorite to date. This house is elevated to something greater than the sum of its parts, but retains its homeliness by being entirely personal, representative and reflective of its residents (finally). Congratulations to all it's amazing and fabulous.
Very clear the clients were able to articulate their needs/goals very well, and very specifically. This is one of the best examples I have seen for how important art is in a home - particularly, appropriately scaled art. The average home couldn't handle most of the works in this home because of lower ceiling heights/smaller rooms - but in this home, the dimensions of the home overall, as well as the sight lines made it possible for large scale pieces and it humanizes what would otherwise feel like sterile spaces (at least some portions of the home). This also shows the importance of landscaping in grounding the building, providing inviting spaces to explore, and "enlarging" spaces even further by opening up those exterior sight lines.
The moment you showed the interior, I was shifted into a calm yet intriguing world. There is so much more into this project. Every corner is so thoughtfully designed. My architect has suggested the same library shelving idea before I saw this video. Great mind works alike. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks AI.
It's busy, but in a cohesive way that is actually quite pleasing. Magnificent.
As a dedicated stoner. I am continuously in heaven.
That’s so lovely ❤
😂😂😂
Best comment ever! I concur! 😂
Hahahah yesss I fall asleep to these every night
Probably one of the most beautiful homes ever shown on Local Project.
So much going on and yet it seems peaceful at the same time. Intricate and yet soothing. Well done.
What a beautiful unique home.. it’s so full of character & the owner’s art collection was the icing on the cake.. ❤
I love the low key nature of this house. The use of the wood veneer, the tranquility of this house. wonderful..
What a stunning house with the artwork and garden in show. Beautiful roof/ceiling.
So beautiful, the cherry wood tones with cement and all the modern art, I’m in love!
There are some real moments of drama in this design. Well done.
Love the crime scene artwork by the front door
Stunning!! Tim you created an architectural masterpiece! The combination of art, concrete and wood is incredible. The craftsmanship and wood choice.....? Spot on! Wow!
This house is insanely genius, so beautiful.
That concrete ceiling is incredible.
Seems to me that having an interesting client enriches the project by miles, also looks like the principal work of the architect was to slip past, there wasn’t a point on trying to compete with all the art. Inspiring!
A Masterpiece - the house, the art, the video portrait - fantastic!
Nature, opening and art👍
What a beautiful home, it really let the art speak for itself, well thought out
this is my dream house, full of creative and silent vibe, meanwhile can show the art works everywhere like a museum and showing my books
Stunning home, bravo!
This is my personal favorite. Stunning. Well done!
Glad to hear Jason!
Awesome job. A wonderful combo of public/private space- gallery and home

The house is a collection of spaces … the inference in his delivery that this was a revelation … omg!!!
Brilliant natural lighting
너무 좋네요 ♡ Beautiful house and Art
Spectacular in so many ways!
I must commend the owners of this house for their formidable art collection - the many modern paintings are of a very high quality
some - I do hate faux Basquiats.
My kind of house. Stunning!
This house is stunningly beautiful, and I especially love how it balances being warm and inviting with the contemporary design.
Wow. An amazing use of space. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful house, the back side of the bookshelf reminds me of Interstellar.

Absolutely stunning!!

Stunning!!!
WOW! WOW! WOW! I'm moving in. ❤❤❤
The most beautiful house i have ever seen.
Refreshing and truly a breath of fresh air. Godly Aida Tomescu touch 🔅
I am a fan of high density zoning, so I love how tightly packed the houses are, it makes for excellent walkability. At the same time, the landscaping has created incredible privacy and a tapestry of foliage. Is the concrete the new eco friendly type ? I hope so, hopefully, you can install solar panels on the roof. Gorgeous house.🙂🙂🙂
absolutely beautiful
Stunning.
Goodness me... what a beautiful HOUSE!
I like the concret with wood and the modern paintings...
This is beautiful piece of art.
Jeez man... The video quality makes me want to throw up. So much dynamic range but so much rich contrast. Absolutely world classwork; well done.
the library is amazing
Stunning!
Complimenti. Tutta la casa è un’opera d’arte. Bellissimi gli spazi abitativi, luminosi e leggeri , nonostante la presenza massiccia del cemento, la costruzione sembra librarsi verso il cielo come delle ali spiegate . Adoro il suo fascino minimalista senza fronzoli, ma ricco di personalità artistica.
Beautiful
C'est un bijoux !
It is!
I love the kitchen!
An inspiring property.
sería todo un desafío sobre el terreno, porque la parcela aparece como un espacio muy dinámico. Una casa maravillosa!

Beautiful house and very talented architect .... love from Montréal , the most aesthetic city in north america and UNESCO design city of 400 years old.
I believe that Montreal, Melbourne and Dublin are the only three cities with UNESCO literature city status too. I have heard from friends that Montreal reminds them of Melbourne.
Love this home!! It reminds us of a project we filmed in San Diego!
