A New York-Inspired Industrial Home Designed for Family Living (House Tour)

Carlotta Residence is the ultimate combination of raw and bold materials, accomplishing a balance between functionality, brashness and beauty. The property was purchased whilst the owners were living in New York; they brought with them the industrialised aesthetic made famous by the city that never sleeps.

As an industrial home, Carlotta Residence speaks to purposeful materiality. Elements of the household take on a life of their own, becoming independent and individual. The building is not a typical Sydney construction, instead it pushes the boundaries to create a sense of delicacy and harmonisation within its broadly brutalist design. This chemistry allows the house to play into the harshness of concrete whilst evoking the warmth found in a family home.

The multi-levelled home is the achievement of a collaboration between Matthew Woodward Architecture, Esoteriko Interior Architecture and the homeowners. Balancing the building’s identity as an industrial home, every aspect of Carlotta Residence is utilised to create playful moments and opportunities throughout the house – the structure’s dynamic features instinctively unfolded as the home was being designed and constructed. With the James Bond-inspired skylight at the bottom of the pool, bringing light into the office underneath, it is easy to ascertain why the theme of Carlotta Residence was industrial chic. The materials are a reference to the natural beauty of the views beyond the home; they reveal an element of truthfulness that is only enhanced by the intuitive architecture.

You know it's going to be good when you see brand new Land Rover Defender and tandem Piaggio. These people have style, well done!

Mr Oberman have exceptional taste here and he sold it for 9, 725, 000. I hope the new owner enjoyed this beautiful home. Cant wait to see Mr Oberman next project

It has that compact feel of a New York apartment where every square metre is considered with thought but is afforded the personality of an Aussie loft. It feels like home...

[harperwelch]

OK. This is a really cool house. The "grass-crete" walkway, the cantilevered green porch roof, the addition of bold colors to the interior, the variety of furniture forms and styles, all help make this a very inspirational and livable Modernist home.

Now this is warm love it. Not every room has to be sparse. Great job!

[SamGiles]

Wow, the architecture is simple, functional and well thought out, the interiors are warm and inviting, and the 007 pool/skylight is a playful addition, love this house.

the end result is amazing. I love how it all came together. the pool with a skylight is a genius move!

[waanpithansombat]

Wow, I have been seeing many houses and this one is so right. Love all the details, the quirkiness that turn to be so comforting. The architects are able to transform heart expression of the owner into his own dwelling. Much admiration.

[humbertochapa]

This is it, the best home I´ve ever seen.

[oliviahides]

Love the skylight in the pool - such a cool way to join two spaces
