Project summary

The We Ponder Home – a visually stunning architectural project that seamlessly blends the rustic charm of Tasmania’s countryside with the timeless elegance of mid-century design. The standout feature of this home is the Tasmanian ceramic wall lights that have been handcrafted to perfection, adding a touch of sophistication to every room.

The living room, featuring an open-plan layout and a sunken lounge, is a testament to the homeowners’ passion for mid-century architecture. The rough-sawn Tasmanian Oak walls lend a natural and earthy feel to the interiors, while the strategically placed windows offer breathtaking views of the rolling hills.

The We Ponder Home is a space that inspires creativity and promotes a deep connection with nature. With its picture-perfect views of a large eucalyptus tree and an ambiance that feels like an art gallery, this architectural masterpiece is a dream come true for anyone who appreciates timeless elegance and natural beauty.

Our home is a thoughtfully designed space that’s both a cozy retreat and a vibrant stage for my ceramic wall lights. Each room carefully crafted to spotlight the ceramics in inventive ways, blending functionality with a dash of whimsy. Small moments in each room to feel a little like living in an art gallery, only warmer, functional and personal. The home makes sure that our living canvas not only showcases our work but also envelops us in cozyness. It perfectly balances practical and playful. The home isn’t just a place to live, but a space that continuousy inspires our creativity.
