Here we are again, with the next Australian home that we are sure you will find as mind-blowing as we did.
This Australian home is located in Canterbury and was built by the design firm of Canny. As you will notice, this home looks to be right out of the Hollywood Hills in California, which is why we found it to be so incredible that it is right in the Sydney suburbs.
Of course, the most incredible part is the pool and the deck that floats within it. This is just the sort of pool that makes any Australian home look like it is owned by a movie star from Hollywood. It looks perfect for entertaining and was probably designed specifically for parties.

The other thing that makes this Australian home look so Hollywood are the glass panels and sliding glass doors that have replaced many of the walls. This also makes for an extremely open concept and makes the house look larger than it actually is.
The outside glass, stucco and stone provide a minimalistic feel, but the pool and the wooden decks give the h0ome a bit of warmth that is needed for the starkness of the white stucco exterior. The perpendicular and angular lines of this Australian home are also reminiscent of the Hollywood Hills homes that became popular during the 70’s and 80’s – when architects were designing more modern homes for the stars.
Today, design firms can take any ordinary suburban Australian home and make it over into one of these glass, stone and stucco masterpieces. This is because when you take a 1,500 square foot home and double its size, pretty much anything goes. Especially since the new walls will mainly be glass, and with the old interior walls gutted, it’s almost like you are building an entirely new home.
So if you find a run-down ranch-style home for a good price, think about remodeling it. Even with renovations, it may still cost less than building a custom made Australian home like this one built from scratch. As well, if you need to power wash the outside, it will be much easier than washing the outside of a traditional ranch style house.
Protecting Your Pool and Floating Island
While floating islands are visually appealing, they require proper care to maintain their beauty and functionality. Wooden or synthetic surfaces can degrade over time due to exposure to water and sunlight. Cushions, umbrellas, and decorative items need regular cleaning to avoid damage from moisture, dirt, and UV rays.
A thorough house wash of the pool area, including the floating island, ensures that all surfaces are clean and safe. Professionals like House Washing Experts can handle delicate materials and hard-to-reach areas, restoring the overall look of the pool and its accessories.
Regular maintenance also extends the life of the floating island. By removing algae and debris, homeowners prevent wood rot, fading, and staining, keeping the pool area both functional and visually appealing for years.
The Role of Professional House Washing
A pool area, especially one with a floating island, requires more than occasional cleaning. Dirt, algae, and mildew can accumulate quickly, particularly on textured surfaces or areas shaded by structures. Professional house wash services provide deep cleaning that protects surfaces while maintaining their appearance.
House Washing Experts offer specialized cleaning techniques that are safe for pool decks, wooden elements, and synthetic materials. Using high-quality equipment and eco-friendly solutions, they remove stubborn stains, restore color and texture, and leave the entire area looking refreshed.
In addition to aesthetics, professional cleaning contributes to safety. Slippery algae or grime on pool decks and island surfaces can pose a hazard, particularly for children or elderly residents. House washing ensures that surfaces remain clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.
