Consumer Temporary – To remodel the dysfunctional break up two-storey, two-bedroom, two-bathroom dwelling right into a three-bedroom and toilet house with and built-in indoor/out of doors retreat house and bigger residing space.
Idea – The home was designed within the 1960’s by Payne & Hunt Architects and retained its authentic situation: uncovered brick and ample mission brown painted timber. While the brickwork stays a celebrated textural function, the home blossoms into an lively design playground bursting with color as a mirrored image of the homeowners’ dedication to ‘joyful residing.’
Structural Modifications – An authentic rabbit warren-like floorplan sees a relocation of the kitchen from upstairs to the bottom ground (a 3rd visitor bed room, loft with research and ensuite replaces it). Rejecting a traditional format, a customized brick plinth delineates the brand new kitchen from the residing space. This addition dually serves as an open liquor show.
The removing of the present rear façade and realigning it with the storey above expands the lounge space’s footprint. Daring loopy paving now connects the interior and exterior residing areas. Flat bars exchange enclosing wood balustrades on the staircase, while rest room partitions are divided by colourful timber dowels to separate mattress from bathtub, additional extending the spatial parameters of the rooms while enabling ample pure mild to circulate freely.
Color & Materiality – Color performs a pivotal function with contrasting quiet and daring schemes. Heat shades of white, mushroom pinks – together with the stairway resulting in the primary ground – and black are the bottom impartial shades holding every little thing collectively to create concord, while the brighter and deeper shades draw consideration to the residing areas and modular hero décor objects. Native firm, Lymesmith, developed a color palette to enhance the uncovered brick partitions utilizing daring tones on the encompassing surfaces, culminating with a mural on the bricks themselves straight behind the brand new hearth chosen for its classic attraction. The summary paintings was impressed
by aerial pictures of the property’s coastal location. It concurrently animates the world and gives a refreshing various to putting in a big wall-mounted TV display, while complementing the brand new paving with its angular kind. Daring tonal highlights embrace the mustard yellow-tinted open pantry joinery, blue built-in fridge cupboards and the terracotta backdrop to the kitchen. Curved seating inside this house contains a white brick plinth fitted with plum-hued seating cushions.
Iconic modular mid-century furnishings enhances the unique construct of the sixties. The result is a generously playful and welcoming ‘shelter for residing’ inside an Australian panorama which firmly rejects basing impartial design schemes on bland notions of resale worth. That is an ‘all in’ dedication to self expression as the house wholeheartedly embraces a fearless love of color.
