Contemporary Architecture On The Coast Of Australia

Contemporary interiors of modern concrete home in Australia

Some may say it's cold and soulless, some may say it's contemporary and perfect. Industrial design architecture is about loving it or hating it. Here's one beautiful Australian beach house, located in Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.


Sorrento House is designed by Robert Mills Architects and the primary goal was to make it contemporary as much as possible. Concrete, wood and glass are more or less the only materials used to build this modern home. While interiors may seem cold and dark on the first sight, after few minutes of observing I have to say I really like it. Specially those orange focal points all around the house.


Take a look and leave a reply with your opinion on this contemporary architecture.
