Destination Living

The brief Our client is a family of four with a schnauzer, seeking a minimalist four-bedroom home that emphasizes open-plan living and seamless integration with the pool and alfresco areas. The client has a strong affinity towards Scandinavian design, and requested that the design should prioritize the transfer of light and warmth throughout all seasons. Our approach The design for the new residence features an open plan living and dining area that seamlessly integrates with the adjacent pool and dual north-facing alfresco areas, providing views of the adjacent reserve. The integration of these spaces creates a sense of continuity between indoor and outdoor living, providing the client with a seamless transition between the two spaces. To ensure optimal thermal performance, the design incorporates a large central masonry wall that provides thermal massing. The wall helps to regulate the temperature within the residence, absorbing heat during the day and releasing it at night. This design element not only provides the client with a comfortable living environment but also helps to reduce energy costs, making the residence more sustainable. During the site feasibility study, it was discovered that the proposed location had a flood level that could potentially impact the client’s request for a basement garage. This posed a significant challenge for the design team, as the garage was an essential component of the client’s brief. To overcome this obstacle, the team explored design solutions that satisfied council and client requirements, ensuring the safety and stability of the structure.

Жилой дом в Чеховской р-н.

Лариса Савельева

Жилой дом 250 м2. Жилой дом для 3-х поколений одной семьи. Бабушка, дедушка, родители, семья дочери , сын большая собака. Особенность дома в том, что он состоит из двух независимых половин. В одной живут старшие родители ( бабушка и дедушка). В другой родители и дети . В каждой половине – своя кухня, несколько санузлов, спальни, имеется свой выход на улицу. При необходимости одна из половин может быть полностью закрыта, а вторая при этом продолжит функционировать автономно. Интерьер дома выполнен в светлой позитивной гамме. Уже на этапе проектирования были продуманы все зоны хранения , работы и отдыха. Это позволило сократить количество мебели до минимума. Одним из условий было – соединение под одной крышей всех возможных функций загородного участка. В зоне, являющейся соединительной между половинами дома находится большое пространство с бассейном с противотоком, баней, комнатой отдыха, небольшой постирочной. Основные декоративные элементы интерьера находятся в двух гостиных. В половине старшего поколения - это двусветное пространство с уютной лежанкой на антресолях, небольшая печь – камин, акцентная стена с декоративной нишей, где стоят милые мелочи. В большой гостиной основной части дома – разделителем между кухней– столовой и гостиной служит очаговый камин, открытый на обе стороны, что позволяет любоваться огнём и из столовой, и с дивана. Камин –не только декоративный. В холодные зимы он хорошо помогает радиаторам поддерживать тепло в доме. Фасады стилистически перекликаются с интерьерами. Дом облицован серым декоративным кирпичом и имеет нарядные вставки из яркой керамической плитки . Элементы участка - детская площадка, беседка – барбекю, мастерская, даже собачья будка выполнены в общем ключе . Их рисунок подчинён дизайну основного дома. Весь участок с постройками , растениями , дорожками, прудиками очень гармоничен и создаёт полностью законченную композицию.

Pool Design Ideas with with Privacy Feature

Swimming pools are heavenly during hot Australian and New Zealand summers and are the perfect way to cool down, relax, entertain friends and even get fit. A pool can also create visual interest, especially when you consider features like coloured pool tiles, lighting and landscaping. If you are short on space, you might still fit a lap pool, plunge pool or swim spa, all of which could be focal points in your small garden. As you plan your pool design, map out your space and determine what size, shape and style works best for you. Browse the photos on Houzz for design ideas for above ground pools, inground pools, as well as pool landscaping and novelty features like pool slides or water features. Then, save your favourite photos to an ideabook, and get in touch with the experts behind your favourite picks.

What type of pool should I install?

The dimensions of your backyard will determine the type of inground pools you can install. Take into account boundary restrictions and pool fencing compliance. Fibreglass versions are cheaper, and quicker to install; whereas concrete constructions are better suited to tricky sites and give you more freedom in design. If you’re on a tight budget or don’t want to commit to an inground pool, above ground pools are a more affordable alternative. If you only have a small backyard, a plunge pool is a great solution, and can easily run along a boundary wall or down the side of a house. This option is also low maintenance, can be heated for use in winter, and can do double duty as a swim spa. A long, narrow space, on the other hand, could fit a lap pool, whereas a water feature could fill an awkward space. If your backyard features a stunning vista, consider an infinity pool to accentuate the view.

What pool fencing options are available?

While the specifics vary from state to state, fencing is required of most pool designs. However, pool fencing doesn’t have to obscure your pool design. Glass fencing is increasingly popular for this reason exactly, and is available framed, frameless, semi-frameless and even in-ground. A cheaper alternative is aluminium or steel fencing, which, again, are available in a variety of styles: flat top, loop-top, double-top and wire-based.

What pool landscaping features should I consider?

To get the most out of your pool, design an area that offers multiple hangouts. Include a nearby barbecue, dining area, seating for lounging and outdoor shower. Having shaded areas will give you more reason to stay poolside longer, too. Timber decking and stone paving are popular choices for pool surrounds, and are also helpful in creating zones. Just imagine a raised timber platform with a daybed – a luxurious, resort-style addition to any pool design. Leafy trees and rocks will create a more natural-looking oasis, and will help provide more privacy for swimmers. Where you want your landscape to be the main focus, keep pool equipment and furnishings to a minimum.
