Where Walls Appear to Cascade | Salmon House

ByMyProperty Life

A striking concrete residence in Essendon, Australia, Salmon Avenue features a minimalist and brutalist design that contrasts with its traditional surroundings. With 460 square meters, the house is divided into two main wings: private bedrooms to the north and open living spaces to the south, facing a park. Floor-to-ceiling frameless glass panels connect the interior to the landscape, while raw concrete defines walls, floors, and ceilings. A linear lap pool, high ceilings, and natural oak finishes add softness and balance to the bold architectural expression.

  • Slatted Beach Retreat

    Thrilled with the beach town location of their summer house, but not with its loud ’90s-era architecture, a family approached Blue Truck Studio with a directive — tone it down. What they had: a house with wild geometry, such as octagon-shaped rooms and triangular spaces. What they wanted: a Sea Ranch aesthetic of simple forms. Blue Truck Studio created an all-new interior of calm, open spaces that flowed easily into one another. For the exterior, the firm reconfigured windows as well as the siding, which wrapped around the house to simplify its form and provide privacy. A pivot door and two large slider doors invite ample light inside while a driveway turned soccer pitch and slatted outdoor shower for hosing off after a trip to the beach reflect the family’s love of recreation and the outdoors.
