Shaun Lockyer Architects have designed a multi-level house in Sydney, Australia, that’s perched overlooking the harbor below.
Inspired by ‘Brazilian Modern’, the home features a combination of materials such as concrete, stone, timber, and steel.

Behind the living room is the dining room. A pair of chandeliers hang above the large dining table, while a sideboard provides separation from the kitchen.

Wood stairs with a matching wood handrail connect the various floors of the home. At night, hidden lighting can be turned on to highlight the handrail, while board-formed concrete provides an interesting wall texture.

In the master bedroom, the headboard provides separation from the dressing area, and allows the bed to be positioned in the middle of the room to take advantage of the views.
