Brick House by Clare Cousins // Melbourne.
Who says you’re not allowed to touch curves until you’re middle aged? This person obviously hasn’t met Clare Cousins. Either that or Clare Cousins has really good genes.
This deliciously curvaceous brick house she designed for her own family is stunning both inside and out. A rounded motif is repeated throughout, beginning with the grand gesture of the undulating upper level and revealing itself again in the interior detailing, such as the rounded brick nib walls. There’s control in the use of curved geometry and it never risks being gimmicky.
It’s architectural and sophisticated but simultaneously playful and relaxed. It’s the kind of space where a pile of kiddy toys isn’t going to stain the architectural intent.
Want to know a crazy fact? She completed the house within two weeks of giving birth to her second child. Superwoman or what? New life goal. Become Clare Cousins.
