Beautiful Houses: Moebius in Australia

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 12:50 AM PST

The idea in this series is to show beautiful and inspiring houses. Houses that are remarkable for its design, elegance, elements, concept or simply because they are beautiful. So if you like architecture, interior design and beautifully designed houses, you are at the right spot. Check out this week beautiful house and stay tuned for more...

This week we present you the beautiful Moebius House.

The Moebius House is a project by Tony Owen Partners, a firm that believe in a 'realizable architecture' that challenges the norm. The Moebius House is an example of 'liquid architecture' whereby projects are designed parametrically using 3D digital software to respond to environmental issues. The house is a mix of retro and modern elements, based on angles and contrasting materials.

I really liked the curves and angles of this house. The retro feel mixed with modern elements look just great. Another nice place to live!

Check out Tony Owen Partners website for further details about this and other projects. See you next time.

We found this house at Design Milk.

Unfortunately, I could not found many web references about him, besides his Blog, Flickr and CG Society profile. I tried to get together his best 3D pieces and also some sketches and creative proccess for you guys, enjoy it.
