Living Room

Large living area with indoor/outdoor space. Folding NanaWall opens to porch for entertaining or outdoor enjoyment.

This classic Queenslander home in Red Hill, was a major renovation and therefore an opportunity to meet the family’s needs. With three active children, this family required a space that was as functional as it was beautiful, not forgetting the importance of it feeling inviting. The resulting home references the classic Queenslander in combination with a refined mix of modern Hampton elements.

Designed in sharp contrast to the glass walled living room above, this space sits partially underground. Precisely comfy for movie night.

This living room was part of a larger main floor remodel that included the kitchen, dining room, entryway, and stair. The existing wood burning fireplace and moss rock was removed and replaced with rustic black stained paneling, a gas corner fireplace, and a soapstone hearth. New beams were added.

Les clients avaient besoin d'aide sur l'aménagement et la mise en couleur de ce grand espace. Avec cette nouvelle maison, leur souhait était de gagner en luminosité avec des grandes baies vitrées, malgré cela, comment aménager ces lieux ? La proposition les a séduit puisqu'elle a été reproduite à l'identique ! Une étude des matières et couleurs, des axes de circulation à respecter et des volumes pour conserver un espace harmonieux et agréable ont été les missions principales de ce projet.

The cantilevered living room of this incredible mid century modern home still features the original wood wall paneling and brick floors. We were so fortunate to have these amazing original features to work with. Our design team brought in a new modern light fixture, MCM furnishings, lamps and accessories. We utilized the client's existing rug and pulled our room's inspiration colors from it. Bright citron yellow accents add a punch of color to the room. The surrounding built-in bookcases are also original to the room.

リビングの天井はSE構法の構造梁を「現し」として使用し意匠的にかっこよく仕上げました。 天井を高く設定し南側と北側の両方に大きな開口を設けることでSE構法のメリットを最大限活かした明るく開放的な空間となりました。
