We hope you enjoyed the breathtaking Merricks House by Aktis Architects. The fusion of mid-century modern design with the surrounding Australian landscape truly makes this home a work of art. The use of raw materials and a minimalist palette creates a warm and cozy atmosphere that’s both inviting and stylish. For more of the latest and greatest in architecture, interior design and house tours, make sure to pre-order Issue No. 13 of our tri-annual hardcopy print publication - thelocalproject.com.au/publication/issue-13/ or our hardcover book ‘10’ - thelocalproject.com.au/product/10-celebrating-10-issues-of-the-local-project/

My guess: Elaheh Mohammed (architect) does the work, and Bruce Katsipidis (director) takes the credit.

Well it's not hard to believe you, since this house in particular has the very taste of death. If it's not for the beautiful shots of nature or soothing songs, we'll be having a hard time between choosing to rip our eyes out or use them to cry instead.

I like how this house feels rural and yet modern and sophisticated. There is nothing out of place here like a ton of marble (except for the kitchen a bit) or something luxurious that doesn't fit with the vibe of the place. Yet, the architecture is very sophisticated with that linear design and separated places flowing from one to another with the views always visible. I totally get what the owner and the architects were trying to achieve here.

Maybe nice to look at, but compared to traditional framed construction, blockwork is more expensive, environmentally unfriendly, a terrible insulator and can present health issues. All of that glazing would have to be double glazed, which would cost a bomb.. I can’t see any form of decals (safety markings) on the glazing, which is not compliant.. just form over function

Most of these comments are so sad and bitter. I sat here and watched the whole video and it put a smile on my face. All I saw was 3 people very happy and proud to showcase their work, and for Merrick, his home. Then I came to the comments only to see the majority of people complaining about arbitrary things. "Oh this house doesnt look good to me so the owner must be depressed and suicidal". "Oh the owner has no class" ... Live and let live people

Do you like Wabi sabi? I think you can get a similar feel by using a paint color that is calming, storing away clutter and installing bigger windows even if it’s just in your living room with the floor to ceiling sheers. Start a board with images that you like and you may be surprised how you eventually get there. It may not be grand but you can get the same feeling. Good luck.
