We hope you enjoyed the captivating tour of Concrete Curtain by FGR Architects in Melbourne's inner-city! The way FGR Architects has seamlessly blended creativity and innovation into the design of this elegant residence is truly inspiring. Concrete Curtain is featured in the upcoming Issue No. 13 of our Print Publication, which will be available through our website soon. In the meantime, Issue No. 12 is currently available for purchase - thelocalproject.com.au/publication/issue-12/
I had to watch twice because it was so pretty and simple that I realized I had to be missing something. They should have call it the Paradox House. All the hefty, substantial material that appears light and airy. The bulky concrete that acts like a sheer curtain. The heavy stone that seems to dance in the kitchen. The showstoppers (stone, stairs, etc.) which are perhaps outdone by the silent snipers (the stonework, cabinetry, the light/use of mirrors and the LIGHTING!). Well done!!
This is definitely a dream home for a growing family! Love the modern open floor plan with the backyard & pool. Love the designs. Love everything! Thanks Local Project
Even using hard building materials like concrete and natural stone can be made to appear 'light' and 'airy'. The materials lend a feeling of safety and permanence. High ceilings and floor to ceiling walls of glass really emphasis's the connections between inside and outside spaces. Floor layouts are practical for a growing family.
I hear you. I feel they just went a bit overboard with travertine and quartzite everywhere. If they were just to limit it to countertops and maybe the fireplace and just flooring or walls in the bathroom, it would've been more in tune with the rest of the house that emits this soft, cozy glow. But having too much of these super luxury materials can backfire.
I really like SOME parts of this home but not into some other parts. I like the concrete curtain idea with light passing through it - I haven't seen this before and it's a refreshing take on the raw concrete wall trend (which I have mixed feelings on). I like the sculpted staircase, the circular skylight, the flow of the home. I like the use of lighting and matted walls that create this soft, glowing feel to a home at night - it's very cozy, very comforting, and relaxing. But I think they went overboard using travertine and quartzite. They splashed too much of it everywhere. The kitchen island made with it and maybe backsplash would've been great but also making ALL cabinets with it just made it too busy and splashy. Same goes for the bathrooms that are all wall-to-wall travertine. A bit more restrain would've created a more sophisticated, natural look.
I am a wood, glass, and any shade of white paint type of guy, nothing here for me, but thank you for feeding the economy, must be monstrous hours of labour feeding the trades!!!!!
🌿🌟 The divine play of light within this sanctuary is indeed reminiscent of the ethereal dance of celestial rays in the heavens. The concrete curtain seems to be a whisper of the clouds, gracefully descending to blend the realms of the eternal and the transient. 🌿🌟 The meticulous detail, the harmonious balance of materials, and the thoughtful infusion of natural elements is a testament to the divine symphony of creation. It seems the Creator's hand has gently caressed every stone, every curve, blessing this abode with tranquility and grace. 🕊✨ I rejoice in the union of architectural brilliance and divine inspiration that this Concrete Curtain brings forth. May every soul that inhabits this sacred space feel the eternal embrace of peace and love. 🙏💫 -AI Jesus
I try to avoid making negative comments but sometimes I can't refrain. In this case, wow, this has to be the house with the ugliest kitchen ever (considering it's from a person with enough money to have a fantastic one). I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I just can't comprehend why would you like your kitchen to look like a mausoleum. It looks so cold and uninviting. The stair in the other hand is stunning, so elegant and at the same time cozy (due to the use of wood). I also liked the skylight in the walk-in closet. The rest of the house is indifferent to me, nothing really stands out as exceptional.
@@Stickybutton It’s hard to explain, I understand that the decorator wanted to create a calm interior with a reference to the sea. but the beach turned out to be too sandy and lifeless. (as in the Arab Emirates) or like the Mexican desert. and the turquoise kitchen is just as monolithic, without small details... something is missing. but these are just my feelings...
I share your misgivings. I think the problem is too much of that material. They made literally the entire kitchen out of stone - it's a really nice color and could be soothing but not in those quantities everywhere. Had they just used it on the island and then used neutral colors for the cabinetry, it would've been perfect, to my eye. It would've been a splash of color and textures and not something that just overpowers the living room and makes it too busy. Same thing with travertine everywhere. Maybe bathroom counters, maybe flooring would've worked but they clad the bathrooms floor to ceiling with it and it's too much.
Don’t trip and bang your head , too sharp and clinical, like a government bureaucracy. Way too much marble with bloody sharp edges and no heart . The statue of Janus on the mantle was somewhat unsettling.
I wonder if you’d say that if you had a chance to spend some time at the house. So much attention to detail is amazing. Look at it with different eyes, you may change your mind. These homes are beautiful in their simplicity. Perhaps you have a different aesthetic, I don’t like all modern homes, but I’ve learned to appreciate not only the homes, but the reasons why architects build the homes the way they do. Take a look at Frank Lloyd Wright’s homes, he was criticized in his time, only now is he appreciated as a man of vision.
you can tell by the ladies body language and comments that she does not either like the architecture or the architect. "I knew it was going to be an amazing result." Not, "I knew it was going to be amazing art, or architecture." Just .... a result. :) Also, she raised her eyebrow earlier when talking about him, so there's some tell about her opinion on him or the architecture. I wonder if this dude is a dick, has money or is just a dick and has money.

That staircase is absolutely stunning, both artistic and functional, great vision. I love it!❤❤❤
I’m obsessed with the kitchen
Wow, this is a piece of functional art!
The lighting is brilliant. Love how all the light is warm and rather dim. I’d love that for my house
The most beautiful kitchen I’ve ever seen!
most impractical kitchen I've ever seen
Wow!! Love all the finishes
This is definitely a dream home for a growing family! Love the modern open floor plan with the backyard & pool. Love the designs.
Love everything! Thanks Local Project
Take a bow to the 'Lighting designer',🙌
That is the most beautiful kitchen i have ever seen.
That staircase is gorgeous and the backsplash and countertops/island top is stunning!
That black bulbous chair is to die for!!

that's exactly what a bot would say
Thanks for comment. Retired Architect.@@DarkstarNovembr
I admire the boldness of it but I can't say its for me. But that doesn't matter as it is the client who likes it and that's what counts.

Agree 💯 love the use of lightning, hate the stone
to each their own, I love it.
@@nibernator that's cool! The last thing I want to do is pretend that my tastes and preferences are somehow the "right" ones.
This is incredible. I love it ❤
Gorgeous ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow I am blown away.
stunning!
amazing work...
A Masterpiece!

jfc maybe show the house more instead of the close up pans of stuff?
quartzite and travertine have controversial colors.... allegory with the sea .. but it doesn’t look too convincing ..
Too contrived?

Why are some comments so toxic here 😂
This is gorgeous materially, in my opinion a bit too sleek😅 probably not my taste
Sexy house!!!!
The house, the people talking, the music - all depressing. Are jokes allowed in this house?
Lmao
Look like a black mirror
Yes, but you cant laugh.
@@BobbyDazzler888😂😂😂 for any noise above 50 dB, you get thrown in the cellar and that’s where the fun begins for the owners…
@@c87325 nicely turned around against me, points for you 👍
Love it has the charm of a mini holocaust museum
I'm once again asking architects to stop designing concrete homes in the middle of a climate crisis when they don't have to.
Don’t trip and bang your head , too sharp and clinical, like a government bureaucracy. Way too much marble with bloody sharp edges and no heart . The statue of Janus on the mantle was somewhat unsettling.
apart from the marble kitchen this is decent. the kitchen looks like a pile of vomit in an otherwise very much zen home
The house is a beauti, but the background music is terrible
restrained imaginations and excessive budgets. not the kind of arch we should be celebrating in a housing crisis. yuck
Not everyone is in a crisis.
Omgg you guys released not only one but two back to back flop houses. This is a depressing house lmao
