Vous savez sans doute que George Harrison était l'heureux propriétaire d'une très jolie maison en Australie.
Je vous propose une visite des lieux...
The couple first visited the island for the Australian Grand Prix. “I wasn’t at all enthused,” Harrison remembers. “But one visit to the Whitsunday Islands opened up a continent entirely new to both of us.”
George Harrison, the Beatles lead guitarist who died in 2001, and his wife, Olivia, built an isolated sanctuary on Australia’s Hamilton Island in 1987. They planted the property with dense tropical vegetation. “George always had a major conflict between the trees and the views,” says Olivia Harrison. “Every few years I would persuade him to cut back some foliage to reclaim the views.”

The living room of the main house features a peaked bamboo ceiling, a tree trunk the musician found on the island and a curved wall of windows. “It’s a great room when it’s pouring with rain.” Birdlife frequently spotted from the house includes swooping lorikeets, cockatiels and curlews.
Bamboo—“a favorite material,” says Harrison—clads the bar in the dining area, which is decorated with art from New Guinea. Sydney-based Pamela Mathieson Croci, working with Angus Leendertz, designed the interiors, using pieces from both Australia and England. Kravet sofa print.
