Architecture and Interior Design firm Wood Marsh has completed a new residential building in Victoria, Australia, that has a remarkable sculptural form.

The overall curved design of the asymmetrical building has the appearance of being carved from a single raw material, while the columns have been shaped and crafted to integrate them into the exterior.

In the kitchen, highly crafted joinery in natural timber and book-matched marble add to the overall feeling of warmth, contrast, and a refined approach to pared-down luxury.

The bathrooms are wrapped in a travertine mosaic tile providing a subtle textural quality to the space and contrast with the solid floating vanity of stained timber and stone.
