Federal House

The 2021 INDE.Awards winners have been announced, and from a wide array of entries there could still only be one winner and it went to the incredibly deserving Federal House by Edition Office.

The stunning interior welcomes in the greenery through floor-to-ceiling windows, while a central fern garden brings an organic presence to the heart of the home. The bedrooms expand into a covered outdoor living space, and beneath the upper platform is a subterranean pool with an opening that frames in views of the rolling treetops.
