Would this be your dream home?

last modified: 3 years ago

Australian Victorian Architecture is, imo one of the most beautiful designs to exist. I haven't seen any other design that comes close to beating it. I quickly created this house in sketch-up. Is this your dream home? If not, what then?

Yes

No

I admire the older homes for their graceful beauty, but to live in one is a real pain. Often the windows are tiny and don't let enough light in, the ceilings are usually 13 foot tall makes heating difficult. My friend had one very similar and much and all as I stayed there many a time and enjoyed my time, I think I would prefer a later design.

I think its beatiful for a by gone era but today I dont know how competitive it would be against other designs. I wouldnt equate this design with Australian architecture either... when I think of achitypal Aussie architecture I automatically think of bullnose or wrap around verandahs

Well, yes, my first instinct is I would like a butlers pantry. But giving it some thought isn't that more bench space, sinks, and other kitchen paraphernalia to keep clean and organised? Surely a well designed kitchen is enough? Don't need a bar at all, so ugly, so seventies! My vote goes to the dressing room. Organised space for clothes, no overflow into the guest bedroom. Shoes sitting up like little soldiers, clothes divided into seasons, scarves ready to be plucked for wear, orderly pants on trouser hangers that don't catch on one another, colour coded tops, jackets all lined up, Floor length mirrors, sock drawers, underwear drawers, makeup storage and lighting. What's not to dream for? Sounds like the ultimate in luxury to me!

This is really tough, but if I could go for a dip before and after work by waking up on the beach, that really would be the dream!

"I wouldnt equate this design with Australian architecture either... "

I always found that there was a unique difference in the design of Australian Victorian architecture to the Victorian architecture in Great Britain. I could be wrong.
