An Architect's Own Home Designed for Her Family of Three (House Tour)
Ойын-сауық
An Architect's own home, Seymour House is inserted as a respectful addition to its neighbourhood, openly embracing the streetscape lined with heritage-listed properties and modernist gems. In crafting the dwelling, Lani Fixler of Lani Fixler Studio has created a place that is private and personal whilst also engaging in an open conversation with the surrounds.
Located in a south-eastern suburb of Melbourne, Seymour House is an architect’s own home that draws from Lani Fixler Studio’s long-standing familiarity with the built environment. The project is one that expertly merges personal responses with the contextual.
In the construction of Seymour House, a connection to the street was important, as well as embracing the constricted site instead of challenging it. Sitting adjacent to Harleston Park, Seymour House is an architect’s own home crafted to be a continuation of its natural setting, with only two concrete plinths defining the barrier between the public and the private.
Throughout the building, modernism is championed through a natural and restrained materiality with the use of concrete, terrazzo, timber and slate. The consistency with which the palette is applied - with blockwork featuring as both an internal and external architectural element - celebrates the environment surrounding an architect’s own home.
Expressing considered detail and the characteristics of an architect’s own home, Seymour House is imbued with a sense of personality that uplifts its understated aesthetic. Crafted to complement the history and culture of the surrounding neighbourhood, Lani Fixler Studio graciously allows past narratives to continue as new chapters unfold.

i wish the floor plans were shown at the end, it makes it easier to understand and follow which part of the house they’re showing.

Security purposes for the client.. and also intellectual property for the architect, there might be people who will copy this project.
This is an unforgettable home. It successfully managed to make the design supremely beautiful and functional, versatile and customized, serene yet warm, but in addition to all that, artistic but not delicate. The entryway-door takes my breath away. This introduces the quiet majesty of what has been created in this home. Thank you for this inspiring episode.
Love the concrete elements. She did this in an incredible way that feels very airy and almost cathedral-like. Cool contrast between the outdoor and modern interior. Love this! Also great use of black and light color palettes inside.
Absolutely stunning. Show this house to anyone who says "you don't need an architect", this house is what you get when you let an architect "GO FOR IT!"
The dog art is terrifying--like a ghostly human torso floating about in a sheet. Did you see how it moved from 2:37 to 4:31? (Magnificent home, though--and great gin, too!)
this is surely one of the best houses i’ve seen EVER. i love how there’s so many sentimental things about this house, which makes this mean a lot more. don’t even get me started about the palette, i’m absolutely in love with the colors and how it complements each other really well.
Cool place! Love how midcentury influences are there without it being a strictly mid-century place. Am I alone finding dog art kinda creepy a bit?

Dog art was a little too much.
Fantastic architecture….GREAT interior design
House design, specially the entrance looks very modern Japanese homes. Removing shoes is a very hygienic habit for the entire family, specially great for children's safety. Very clean, minimalist zen design. Loved it 💕 👍😊
This is not only a house, but a dream home 💕
Lovely and tastefully done with just an ample mixture of concrete, well-chosen fixtures, furnishings, and wood The touches and influence of MCM and Danish aesthetics definitely brought and added a cozy and warm milieu that some current modern houses lack. Congratulations. .
Love how the architect has taken local references to make something contemporary, yet contextual. Really well executed.
I love the open front to the street, without a fence. this is something I'm very nuanced to as it's common in cities like Canberra but not so much in the other major cities in Australia, so this is very nice! the planning and details of this design and materials was very nicely thought out and very practical yet aesthetically pleasing
So so good! Simply incredible home.
Stunning! I'm impressed that they were able to use so many materials in a way that never feels overwhelming. Each space has a fresh personality but definitely feels like part of a whole. Also, the art and furniture is all perfect for the space
A beautifully compact, deceptively spacious home.
Love these Australian homes
Lovely design. I like that little riding car! 😊
Beautiful.
Absolutely Beautiful!
Love the Terrazzo floors in the bathroom. Had my bathrooms done in Terrazzo from Quantum Quartz in Padstow NSW.
was really fun to watch thanks
Beautiful! I love it
Desain nya sempurna & enak dilihat dari sisi manapun, perpaduan warna material yang enak dilihat, minimalist, wow banyak hal yang dapat dipelajari dari konsep ini, kerenn
Love the originality and innovation of the designs!! Surprised you are actively promoting the narrative of publication and print in the age we are living.
This is an amazing house and I especially love the dog statue ❤ Kinda makes me want to make one for my dog too
I would love to have something like this. It is perfect.
Congratulations! Very nice job
Love the Troy Emory dog. Very modern take on sentimentality.
Gogeous home.
She did an excellent job
Fantastic architecture
Love this!
so cleann
Nice home!
Great work/art
Sublime and spectacular, what a space! However, not sure I'd want to linger after dinner on those scant metal dining chairs. Perhaps they're somehow comfortable! 😃
The finishing is ultimate that the house looks like a 3D model
great vid. great quality. What camera system are you using?
If we had a longer glimpse of the house tour it would be great Nice content tho 👌
At time stamp 1:33 there is a shot of a metal and cable grid trellis for vine plants. Does anyone know if this is an off the shelf product, or if there are suppliers who can custom make these?
It has that Soylent Green apartment vibe.
nice
This is so my style
❤❤❤❤
Beautiful home. Nice juxtaposition between warm, comfy interior spaces vs. wide open minimalist expanses that open up to nature. My only critique is the outdoor sculpture quotes too heavily from Joel Shapiro.
that dog statue giving me full metal alchemist vibes ... ed ... ward
4:39 Where can I find more info about this table?

lmao they made "playroom" cells for their kids to lock them in

I like her James Bond baddie outfit.
May I know the dimensions of this house
Great jumpsuit
Normally love these videos but this one seemed more about 'look at all of my expensive furniture' more than the actual design of the home..
I wonder all the time how much a house like this would cost...

Why don't these vids show anything about machine rooms or placements? Maintanance provisions are part of good architecture.
Very nice although l would opt to erect a proper wall in the front of the property so as to have a barrier between your front door and the edge of your property. You never know there may be some crazy covid masked Government Officer wandering around who wants to lock you up in one of your Covid Concentration Camps down under. Although your garden is pretty and wild and natural and water sustainable for your area, personally l would go for a more manicured neater garden planting productive fruit trees which not only look pretty but also provide fruit. Form AND function. Nevertheless well done. 😊👊👌👍
This house is at 35 Seymour Road Elsternwick which hasn't been updated on Google Maps and you can see the modest house that sat on the block before this was built which really added character to the neighbourhood. It is a shame that the neighbourhood is changing so much. BUT this house is very beautiful inside, and overall is a plus project to the area.

Do all Australians raise the pitch of their voice at the end of every sentence ?
Not Elm trees- London Plane trees. Sorry to be a tree pedant 😣
No front fence. Very Canberran.
Could use some more colour, it's gonna look really dated in about 5y
furnished exquisitely. Why do all Australians speak with every sentence in upspeak?

a bit ob art gallery not a house to live in, I can't imagine bunch of children having fun there
Looks awesome as a library, art gallery, or hotel. Doesn't feel like a cozy home to me. All materials are so unforgiving when it comes to dirt. You'll be busy cleaning all day long!
You guys literally suck in showing the entire house. You post amazing houses in the channel and when I open it I never get to see the whole house. It's always like trailer of the movie and babbling of the architects. Instead try to show the entire house.
