Trentham Barn

Located in beautiful East Trentham, Australia, Adam Kane Architects were engaged to undertake renovations to the existing dwelling, to blend a modern aesthetic within a country setting. Used as a weekend getaway for the owner, the home needed to have a touch of sophistication whilst still responding to the rural country setting. Once the home was finished, the owner requested a ‘barn’ or storage building free-standing from the house, in a separate corner of the garden, to house mowers, and gardening equipment. Surrounded by a diverse planting of European and native trees, the Trentham Barn was designed referencing the traditional pitched roof ‘barn’ shape structures of the rural setting. A neutral palette was used to enhance the adjoi... More

Richmond

Roselind Wilson Design was appointed to provide the full interior design service for this 5,500 square foot mock-Tudor property in Richmond and was delighted to be involved in this unique project on a property with such character and style.The property was built in 1920 and extended in 1960. The original Annexe was separate from the main building but after a full refurbishment, it was joined to the main house.

The second phase included the interior design of all the reception rooms, Kitchen, Master bedroom, Master Ensuite, Dressing room and Study,... More

1.8M Width House

1.8 M Width HouseA house where light shines in and fresh air flows between the floating floorsCONCEPTThe 1.8M Width House identity and core is the fluidity of its interior space, which moulds together all the rooms and grants the freedom to reinvent each part of the house on a daily base, defying the conventional divisions of living spaces.ARCHITECTUREThe first challenge we had to face with the design of the 1.8M Width House was the juxtaposition of the size of the plot and the spatial and psychological openness the clientsʼ wished for. At a mere 2.5 by 11m, the site is a typical “eelsʼ bed”, where you can, with your arms extended, touch both external walls of the building. To avoid a cramped interior, we focused on keeping as much free spa... More

LIVE WORK HOME

The Live Work Home is a sustainable, social response to Syracuse’s 21st century concerns as a postindustrial American city. Inspired by the legend of the Three Sisters, a lesson in strengthening agricultural biodiversity, the flexible home “seeds” the neighborhood with many different building types, driving a positive cycle of long-term investment. The long, narrow development site suggested an exploration of linear archetypes, including the Haudenosaunee longhouse, Syracuse’s original vernacular form. Our design redefined the concept of “home” for a new urban context, offering as a solution an affordable, flexible space for diverse and evolving uses. The Live Work Home pursues sustainability with thoughtful, common sense solutions.... More

House in Sierosław

Architects from mode:lina studio once again took up the design of house interior. Newly built house in Sierosław belongs to the small family – young parents, their small child and a dog.

With translucent walls, it can shine only if the light inside is turned on. The island kitchen is a gray, steel cube, which is in 3/4 the height cut with wooden dining table top. Common part of the house, which heart is the kitchen with huge island, is a one big space. All of its functions connect with each other. So that kitchen island pass into dining table, din... More

LALLA LA'

Levels that were divided vertically and horizontally are now together. Borders between the different levels are fade out: the staircase to go upstairs is delicate more than ever, the railing is transparent. What results is an open space, lighten up more than before thanks to the new dormers. White is the colour that plays the main role, to simplify the reading of geometries and improve the reflection of the light between the heights More

HLBH | houselevel homeoffice

An ancient and listed building, heritage of the past, becomes a new home/office, intertwining a dialog between indoor and outdoor, place and space, voids and levels, walls and glasses. The roof with terrace, skylight and pv panels becomes a fifth "facade". Like in a Piranesi's work you can move in many directions through the space.The architectural recovery of the historical listed settlement Casa Gualerzi is based on the preservation of the typological and morphological building’s characters.The project works on existing indoor levels, reinterpreted contemporarily, whereas voids and full spaces of the historical facades and the typological elements such as the porch, don’t change but becomes key points to define free plans inside the volum...

Heritage Treasure Chest

Reinventing the Veranda Opening up a Federation Queen Anne heritage listed residence is the dream of many home owners on Sydney’s North Shore. The northern suburbs on the Sydney harbourside, from North Sydney to Mosman were rapidly developed in the first two decades of the 1900s, thanks to the new ferry services and expansion of public transport links. This house possessed all the attributes a wealthy family would desire: turrets, large rooms, balconies and a generous garden, yet it was introverted and dark. By adding a wide sheltered veranda to the rear of the house, the kitchen and breakfast room can be opened up to the garden. The veranda can open completely to allow the homeowners to step out onto the lawn or to the pool area,... More

Armitage Residence

The Armitage Residence is located twelve miles south of Whistler. The site lies at a forest clearing at the edge of a seasonal marsh that expands, in the rainy season and contracts, in the hot dry summer. There is dramatic view of the Coast Mountains and the extinct volcanic peak of Black Tusk, to the east. The structure rests on a bedrock swale between several large boulders and is organized as two parallel rectangular forms shifted in plan to create a sheltered forest side entry and an open plan oriented east to the view. The materials are straightforward: concrete masonry block walls, polished concrete floors on the main level, engineered glulam structure with Douglas fir decking, baltic birch plywood ceiling, anodized aluminum window...
