The antique jardiniere is a family heirloom.

Every corner delivers a surprise, such as this wall adorned in Jab Anstoetz Preciosa' silk from Unique Fabrics, to the right of the fireplace. Simone Fraser urn, Sabbia Gallery. Casanova floor lamp, Studio Cavit. Teatro Nacional de Sao Carlos Lisboa Ill artwork by Candida Höfer.
Many architects worship minimalism and its simple, uncluttered aesthetic - Richard Archer included - but in his own home in inner-city Sydney, he has left it at the door. Within this urban hideaway, he celebrates maximalism to the... er... max, and is quite unapologetic about it. The always surprising results are an exuberant expression of his personality and all that he loves and values.
