  • Just south of Melbourne’s CBD in Australia lies House of Bronzed Steel and Stone, where an architect designs a dream house. Crafted by Megowan Architectural and Anderson Construction, House of Bronzed Steel and Stone sits stoically. Primarily made from steel and natural limestone, the structure is both modest and intimate yet open and flowing. Working towards the brief, the architect designs a dream house that hones the client’s needs. Natural light, a sophisticated palette and privacy were key focal points in the home’s construction.
    The house tour begins on the streetscape where a steel gate filters occupants from the public domain into the private space - passing through the landscape forecourt and the full-height, dramatic, bronze front door. The architect designs a dream house that evokes tranquillity, immediately felt throughout the interior design palette and materials used. A set of large steel doors fully reveal an open kitchen, living and dining area. A seamless indoor-outdoor living space is achieved as the architect designs a dream house with large bronze steel sliding doors that fully retract, allowing the space to extend out. Outdoors, Jack Merlo expertly uses landscape architecture as a privacy device, acting as a key element in turning the home into an urban oasis.
    The architect designs a dream house that directs light to animate surfaces and spaces. Light scoop devices are integrated into the roof structure, bringing natural light from the north to the deeper private spaces of the home. Views of the swimming pool allow light bouncing off the water to dance through living areas and an east-facing glass splashback allows light to dapple through bamboo, animating the kitchen space.

    It’s rare you see so much grey in a home without it feeling dull. Somehow all the shades of grey still feel lively and fitting within both the indoor and outdoor space. I think this is a home that will age well given the architectural and design features. Thoughtful use of concrete, marble (I think), and steel - all bringing that grey into the home but with a textural feel. This is a home you’ll want to “touch.”

    Not gonna lie, his North American accent gave me a shock. He's really got the hang of Australian design, how we want our houses to function, how we want them to fit in when they're located in a heritage area like South Yarra. Despite his accent, he's clearly an Aussie like us now ;)

    Lovely house and high standard finish throughout and I love how they got light into such a long and narrow site.
    The only criticism I have is the bland lack of colour throughout. Way too muted and dare I say boring for my taste.
    It could have been livened up with some colourful artwork or the use of some patterned colourful cushions or rugs which are easy to change.
    That dog is gorgeous and totally complements the house. 🐶

    Thanks to Google Maps, the address of this property is 12 Fawkner St, South Yarra. Victoria. Was wondering how they got around the heritage overlay, but looks like they bought a real dump (although some brutalist lovers might balk at that description) and were able to transform into basically whatever they wanted without keeping any existing facade. Good for them. Must be a 4-5 million dollar property now.

    I usually spoonfeed myself these videos, but this house really didnt captivate me. So lifeless, with the title, I expected way more greenery and with the intro, I expected way more visible utilization of the materials. Instead, everything is supremely clinical, dull and lacks any quality that would set it apart. The kichen backdrop was quite creative, but other than that, it lacked that one special thing that most interiors on this channel have.
