Houzz Tour: A Small, Space-savvy Home Filled With Art colorful - Thinking outside the box is something of architect David Boyle made many, so meet Courtney Gibson, another outside the box thinker, was fortuitous. Faced with a parcel containing rocky weatherboard cottage Gibson and a large garden, the typical response was to renovate and expand to meet the requirement of a home for her two young children and a vast accumulation of art . But his memory also included the need for a source of property tax.
The demolition of unhealthy house has opened the way for a creative solution and savvy-space: Boyle built two semi-detached houses on the site. One was for Gibson to rent or sell. The other was for her to live and includes an open living plan for it to house his eclectic collection of art, a raised terrace and garden, bedroom and mezzanine areas that make the most of the compact footprint .

Like many Sydney narrow terraced houses, the front door opens directly into the kitchen area. At first glance, it reveals the passion of Gibson to design midcentury. An album of love 'shared with Boyle revealed a mutual appreciation of midcentury modern architecture, so its brief of a modernist aesthetic half was not as impossible as she thought at first.
The warmth of oak in the expansive island bench - designed by Boyle - compensates for urban gray cabinets and flooring Marmoleum (a contemporary linoleum made from renewable and recycled materials). The "party wall" that divides the two semi-detached houses contains bricks saved from the original house - exposed in places and painted in others. "It makes sense to recycle if possible, but it also adds another layer to a contemporary design, said Boyle.

At each turn, the house radiates the color of love Gibson and all the old things. Expect the unexpected in this house - not much credence represent "The Great Wave off Kanagawa famous print by Hokusai. The artwork is dynamic behind the glass screen. "The wallpaper was the first thing I bought for the house, years before the construction, said Gibson. "All the colors of the house came on the back of this document.

He takes a simple moment to realize that the house belongs to a serious passionate collector of works of art eclectic and witty. Impossible to ignore is the huge painting on the exposed brick space kitchen, 'the big names of the band that I thought (but never used)' by Mark Hetherington. A gigantic sculpture suspended Mr. Kangalanga by Rosie Deacon, dominates the space, a wild tangle of plastic, fabric, fur, plush toys, bottle caps and cocktail umbrellas .

Boyle deliberately reduced the ceiling of the kitchen with Oregon wooden beams. This may seem a surprising move when creating a sense of space, but Boyle's strategy was to compress and then expand the spatial volumes of long, narrow interior, to eradicate the impression of a single level " tube "from front to rear. The ceiling rises to more than 4.5m above the areas of restoration and life. This view seems to return to the front door of the double height dining room which opens impressive kitchen with a low ceiling.

another aspect of the intention to create a visual Boyle volume is a series of changes in ground level as the house moves from area to area, from front to back through the narrow site. A short flight of steps wood increases the living area dining areas and kitchen. "It is the level of the 1960s and 1970s split, 'Gibson enthusiasm. "It felt much more spacious than it would if it were at the same level.

in accordance with the priority Gibson for space art hanging, Boyle painted the walls, including some exposed brick in Vivid White Dulux. "We were really developing a blank canvas for Courtney to add value in terms of interior design and art," says Boyle.
Skylights and vertical windows provide light, enhance the collection of the show and, when coupled with the white background, allow the perfect scene for a collection that has been 25 years in the manufacturing. Gibson's advice by hanging a large art collection? "Leave a few empty spaces, or it will be like living in a stamp album.
The 1930s pendant lights that hang in the void was another memory of the old house Gibson. orange fiber glass chair by Eero Aarnio Pastil, originally designed to hold in his iconic ball chair 1967 is a touch of bright color.

self-confessed trends "the bowerbirding 'Gibson found expression in every corner of the house. Collected in intelligent spatial design Boyle, the effect is not an overwhelming jumble, but interesting pieces that each tell a story, as the drawings above the couch by Joan Ross. "I just pick the things I like and put them with other things I like - And what is not to like. " Said Gibson

from front to back, the friendly and intimate house is packed with the telltale signs of a flamboyant spirit with a passion for design midcentury and a blatant disregard for minimalism. It is a treasure trove of colors and works of art seditious, some of which border on the bizarre.

Maybe be the most spectacular part of the house is the children's bathroom. Gibson went all the way with vibrant yellow sun - Dulux gold Marguerite. It's hard not to smile at the stimulus morning ablutions should have in such a lively space. Gibson electrician even found yellow sockets. "He's like a madness, Gibson said," and I love it. "
