Casa Albero

Casa Alberto was a vacant block of land in 2002. We purchased this property located on No. 1 via Roma Isle of Capri or ‘Numeral Uno’ in Italian as we were looking for a new abode for the family. This stunning block of land is 50% surrounded by water and being a large amount of land it was the perfect location to build a carefree fun house with a tropical Island feel.

This home was built with none of the regular constraints and there is nothing ‘normal’ to it, from using all recycled steel, hand carved timber and sand stone to having slightly different shades of paint coated throughout. Casa Alberto truly is a free living, fun holiday style home.
Project Year: Pre-2005
Country: Australia

The pool frames river front view offering privacy and great appeal. The hand crafted coral gives the illusion of diving in a tropical island.

Casa Albero’s main swimming pool resembles somewhat of a coral reef. Our artist’s hand chiselled out of concrete little tunnels and created a pitted under seat coral effect that you would imagine tropical fish would hide in and we had artificial coral of all varieties added to the floor. The...

You can see a few of the main six logs by the pool area in this photo. These logs were 8 and 9 meters long we had them termite proofed and wrapped in a termite blanket before being cemented into the concrete. The beams across the roof were the same. The unique strangle vines are made out of...
