Our top ten homes of 2013 just wouldn't be complete without including one of the incredible mid century homes in WA we have featured over the past year. We've been lucky to feature a number of amazing homes in this area with thanks to our amazing Perth-based contributors Anna Flanders and Angelita Bonetti - thanks for your brilliant work ladies!
This very special family home, which we originally featured in October, belongs to design enthusiasts and avid collectors Mark and Christine Baxter and their daughter Aisha. Their unique modernist home was designed in 1969 by revered Bulgarian architect Iwan Iwanoff, who was responsible for a number of incredible homes in Perth at that time. (Thanks to Anna and Angelita we have featured quite a few of them now!).
Now retired, Mark is an avid collector of all manner of beautiful things, including Australian furniture/chairs, 60 - 70’s art, Scandinavian glass, kokeshi dolls and many other objects which perfectly complement this truly amazing home. 'The house is the perfect gallery to display my collection' says Mark. It's great to see Iwanoff's legacy so perfectly preserved here, and layered with the Baxter's own incredible collection of mid century furniture and design - it couldn't be in better hands!
For many more pics of Mark and Christine's amazing mid century home in WA, do pop over and re-visit the original post here!
