Spotted on archdaily.com, Mills House below was realized by Austin Maynard Architects in Melbourne, Australia. Embracing a contemporary home décor, the crib features large open spaces that are naturally lighted all day long. The owner, a mum with to kids, wanted to have one floor for entertainment and relaxation. As a result, an entire floor was transformed into a playground, namely a giant toy box. Having 450 millimeters depth, the toy box is not only a storage space; it is also play space at a comfortable seat height for adults. Moreover, the area has a strong connection with the kitchen; children are invited to assist their mum cooking whenever they feel so. Besides this special room, the house was designed smart and functional. For example, the corridors are no longer wasted spaces; at Mills, the kitchen was installed in the original hallway letting the living room benefit from a generous space. Upstairs, a wall of the bedroom slides entirely away and the room increases almost 2 meters in length when open to the corridor.
In the living area, the large comfortable grey sofa is animated by colorful pillows.
