Descendant of the villa savoy by corbusier

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Architecture, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

A Queenslander, with charm extracted.

Is this a Coburn mural?

Ah, that's a familiar wall :)

Dear MargaretsFamily From the official description on the Historic Houses Trust (NSW) website: "The mural, designed and originally painted by Seidler himself, provides a colourful decorative contrast to the minimalist house interior. But the mural is also a clever code to the colour scheme throughout. The neutral background of light grey (walls and joinery) and mid grey (carpet, windows, bedspreads, playroom wall) is intersected with black lines (wall cabinets, desks, kitchen benches, Hardoy chair frames). These neutrals are counter-pointed with strong accents of: dark brown (asphalt tiles in playroom, kitchen, bathrooms; feature walls in foyer and bedroom, dining room door, playroom divider curtain, upholstery on sofa, lounge chairs and Hardoy chair) and the primary colours (red for the front and kitchen doors and cushions; yellow for the playroom door, curtains, cushions and Hardoy chair; and the blue for the studio wall, curtains, bedspreads and cushions) " For further information on the house, go to: www.hht.net.au/discover/highlights/guidebooks/rose_seidle...
