Luigi Rosselli Architects completed this remarkable contemporary house in 2011. Called the Gordons Bay House, it is located in Sydney, Australia, on a hill that affords gorgeous views over the bay. The three floors of the residence have different orientations, which results in a unique dynamic architecture. This special scissors-like design gives a number of cantilevered overhangs and roof terraces.
Emphasizing the beauty of the house is the professional landscaping by Terragram, who surrounded the residence with fruit trees and edible plants, plus beautiful flowers and decorative bushes. The kitchen can be supplied with herbs, vegetables, olives and espaliered citrus grown directly on the property.

Ah, a house with edible plants. Because nothing says luxury like picking your own salad while pretending you have time to cook it. I’ll just stick to ordering takeout, at least the packaging doesn’t compete with the architecture.
Haha, you’ve got a point! While the edible garden adds charm, I’ll admit the aesthetic often outshines the actual cooking. Takeout packaging is certainly less distracting. Thanks for the laugh and the relatable take on modern luxury living!
