Architect Luigi Rosselli has given a fresh and contemporary update to a home in Bellevue Hill, Australia, that was originally designed in classic modernist style by the architect George Reeves in 1963.

Influences from the work of Brazilian architect, Oscar Niemeyer, are evident throughout the house, like the voluptuous form of the concrete awning that covers the entry.

A large oversized, pivoting white front door welcomes visitors to the home.

Once inside the home, there are sinuous curved ceiling bulkheads in the lounge, dining and kitchen spaces, as well as a built-in fireplace.

Sharing the open plan interior is the kitchen with a small breakfast table, and the dining room.

Walls and heavily framed windows were removed to make way for barely there floor-to-ceiling steel and glass windows, connecting the interior to the outdoor spaces, like an outdoor lounge with a bbq area.

The sliding glass doors also open up to the rest of the backyard, where there’s an additional seating area and a swimming pool.

The secondary seating area features a large, curved, slightly sunken, built-in wood slat seat that focuses on the fire bowl.

Back inside and by the front door are stairs that lead up to the bedrooms and bathrooms.

In one of the bathrooms, a white vanity with a built-in basin sits below a large mirror that reflects the fish pattern on the opposite wall.
