In August, Doman published the Toorak mansion in Melbourne, featuring its photographs and the story behind the structure. The property has a showroom-like garage and a 12-seat theatre. Along with all other features, it boasted a Batman/ Batcave-like home.
The comprehensive transformation of this 1920 mansion, which was first handled by Molecule Architecture, went viral in 2015. Its subterranean facility, which immediately becomes accessible when the tennis court baseline is lifted through hydraulic props, is to die for, according to many.
Aside from this batcave-like structure, here are other amazing home designs from 2015.
Sweet Cottage
Huge Campbell renovated a six-meter weatherboard contemporary structure. This Alexandria situated property is what he shares with his wife. The idea is to draw attention to this iconic abode, but for people not to really notice it. Its roof has dormer windows and picket shutters, and the home also has a fence for privacy. This humble house has got all of the conventional cues a house needs.
Contrasting Architecture
In Hampton, Melbourne, there is a woody and wide, glass, stone and concrete house where a lifted living floor is sitting dramatically on a cantilevered box. This stylistic resolution is a mid-century Brazilian-inspired design that was incorporated with a concrete feature to emphasize playfulness into a contemporary rhetoric. Without a doubt, this was what the owners wanted, neither generic nor monolithic.
Casual Comfort
A habitat to be built in the middle of a rainforest in Queensland's far north means a campsite-like property. Brisbane's M3Architects made this possible by stringing centrally cranked and long series of pavilions, getting past trees in a zig-zag pattern. The central deck which is connected through boardwalks is open-sided. Its utility wing with kitchen, dining, and living facilities highlight an upholstered seating that can accommodate extra guests. The makers explained that the site's organic attributes allowed them to create a property with respect to the nature's original plan.
