A study in concrete minimalism, this home is softened by layers of warmth and carefully oriented to address true north within a tight suburban cul-de-sac in Sydney’s inner west. Modest in footprint and approved via the Complying Development (CDC) pathway, Concrete House works hard — every square metre finely tuned to support daily life, echoing Le Corbusier’s enduring idea: “a house is a machine for living in.”
The interior of the house features a minimalist design that complements its coastal views. Large glass walls allow natural light and provide a view of the horizon, while the color scheme mainly includes concrete and steel. The open-concept layout facilitates movement between spaces, characterized by clean lines and a simple aesthetic. Each room is designed to maintain a connection with the outdoors, incorporating the surrounding scenery into the living environment.
