ABOUT THIS PROJECT

The brief for this house renovation Brisbane was to re-design the layout of the ground floor, improve the flow of public areas of the house. Also it was important to add powder room on the main floor and close is the study. With regards to the materiality clients wanted something that was light and warm, highly textural, very serene that makes you feel as if you're in a retreat from the bustling world. So interior design project started with transformation in a floor plan - we've added a powder room next to the kitchen as it was a bit dictated by the plumbing on site, knocked down walls between the front sitting room and the living room as well as opened up the dining room and reduced a bit wine closet to give more space for a massive dining table for great family gatherings. As we were tasked with the challenge of making the main floor areas feel connected but also separated at the same time we've decided to keep existing fireplace but update it instead by making it a four sided gas fireplace that creates that sense of connection between two areas we were seeking. Through the redesigned layout, shapes and material palette spaces just flowed one into another to create a contemporary retreat. The main materials used in the house interior design are natural timber flooring, warm travertine, earthy polished render that pairs so well with the aged brass and just a notch of contrast and drama brought into the palette through black accents and vivid Calacatta Viola marble.
