The dark, blue-grey walls and stylish complementing furniture is almost paradoxically lit up by the huge bey window, creating a cozy living room atmosphere which, when mixed with the wall-mounted neon sign and other decorative pieces comes off as edgy, without loosing it's previous appeal.

This is an example of an expansive traditional open plan living room in London with blue walls, a standard fireplace, a stone fireplace surround, no tv and medium hardwood flooring.

This serene and light-filled living space received a full decorative update by ABP Interiors. The existing furniture was carefully reupholstered in fresh, patterned fabrics to breathe new life into beloved pieces. Walls and built-in joinery were repainted in a soft neutral palette, creating a calm and cohesive backdrop. The new wool carpet adds comfort and warmth underfoot, while custom curtains and a shaped pelmet in a delicate floral fabric complete the look. Every detail, from lamps to accent cushions, was thoughtfully layered for a soft, inviting finish.

La pièce a été pensée en 2 espaces distincts. La zone détente, réception café et la zone réunion formelle. Cette séparation d'espaces a été réalisée par une démarcation colorée. Le plafond a été peint dans un vert pour l'assombrir et le rabaisser visuellement afin de créer une ambiance plus cocooning dans cet espace où l'on se tient assis. Le vert redescend sur les murs de chaque coté du logo, pour l'encadrer et le faire davantage ressortir, et créer une alcôve autour du coin repos. J'ai voulu une ambiance qui mette plus à l'aise, plus conviviale et chaleureuse. Un meuble sur mesure a été imaginé afin de créer du rangement et de dissimulé un frigo et une machine à café. Une grande table de réunion trône au milieu de la pièce pouvant accueillir 10 personnes. Un tableau interactif trouve sa place sur le mur du fond afin de regrouper les écrans du même côté de la pièce et que les réunion soit le plus confortable possible. Ce mur ne recevant pas la lumière du soleil c'est idéal pour éviter les reflets. Un rideau sur mesure a également été installé pour tamiser davantage la pièce lors de visio conférence. La société étant une entreprise de recyclage de matériel informatique nous avons sélectionnés des matériaux pour confectionner un logo sur mesure. Celui ci est installé sur le mur du fond de la pièce afin d'être mis en valeur. Lors de la réunion il est situé de telle sorte que tous les clients le voient. D'un point de vue plus technique le sol a été recouvert de lames PVC imitation bois. Le PVC absorbe davantage le bruit et son aspect accentue l'ambiance chaleureuse.

Debido a su antigüedad, los diferentes espacios del piso se derriban para articular un proyecto de reforma integral, de 190m2, enfocado a resaltar la presencia del amplio pasillo, crear un salón extenso e independiente del comedor, y organizar el resto de estancias. Desde una espaciosa cocina con isla, dotada de una zona contigua de lavadero, hasta dos habitaciones infantiles, con un baño en común, y un dormitorio principal en formato suite, acompañado también por su propio cuarto de baño y vestidor.

The Narrabeen House is located on the edge of Narrabeen Lagoon and is fortunate to have outlook across water to an untouched island dense with casuarinas. By contrast, the street context is unremarkable without the slightest hint of the lagoon beyond the houses lining the street and manages to give the impression of being deep in suburbia. The house is new and replaces a former 1970s cream brick house that functioned poorly and like many other houses from the time, did little to engage with the unique environmental qualities of the lagoon. In starting this project, we clearly wanted to re-dress the connection with the lagoon and island, but also found ourselves drawn to the suburban qualities of the street and this dramatic contrast between the front and back of the property. This led us to think about the project within the framework of the ‘suburban ideal’ - a framework that would allow the house to address the street as any other suburban house would, while inwardly pursuing the ideals of oasis and retreat where the water experience could be used to maximum impact - in effect, amplifying the current contrast between street and lagoon. From the street, the house’s composition is built around the entrance, driveway and garage like any typical suburban house however the impact of these domestic elements is diffused by melding them into a singular architectural expression and form. The broad facade combined with the floating skirt detail give the house a horizontal proportion and even though the dark timber cladding gives the building a ‘stealth’ like appearance, it still withholds the drama of the lagoon beyond. This sets up two key planning strategies. Firstly, a central courtyard is introduced as the principal organising element for the planning with all of the house’s key public spaces - living room, dining room, kitchen, study and pool - grouped around the courtyard to connect these spaces visually, and physically when the courtyard walls are opened up. The arrangement promotes a socially inclusive dynamic as well as extending the spatial opportunities of the house. The courtyard also has a significant environmental role bringing sun, light and air into the centre of the house. Secondly, the planning is composed to deliberately isolate the occupant from the suburban surrounds to heighten the sense of oasis and privateness. This process begins at the street bringing visitors through a succession of exterior spaces that gradually compress and remove the street context through a composition of fences, full height screens and thresholds. The entry sequence eventually terminates at a solid doorway where the sense of intrigue peaks. Rather than entering into a hallway, one arrives in the courtyard where the full extent of the private domain, the lagoon and island are revealed and any sense of the outside world removed. The house also has an unusual sectional arrangement driven partly by the requirement to elevate the interior 1.2m above ground level to safeguard against flooding but also by the desire to have open plan spaces with dual aspect - north for sun and south for the view. Whilst this introduces issues with the scale relationship of the house to its neighbours, it enables a more interesting multi- level relationship between interior and exterior living spaces to occur. This combination of sectional interplay with the layout of spaces in relation to the courtyard is what enables the layering of spaces to occur - it is possible to view the courtyard, living room, lagoon side deck, lagoon and island as backdrop in just one vista from the study. Flood raising 1200mm helps by introducing level changes that step and advantage the deeper views Porosity radically increases experience of exterior framed views, elevated The vistas from the key living areas and courtyard are composed to heighten the sense of connection with the lagoon and place the island as the key visual terminating feature. The materiality further develops the notion of oasis with a simple calming palette of warm natural materials that have a beneficial environmental effect while connecting the house with the natural environment of the lagoon and island.

From the very first site visit the vision has been to capture the magnificent view and find ways to frame, surprise and combine it with movement through the building. This has been achieved in a Picturesque way by tantalising and choreographing the viewer’s experience. The public-facing facade is muted with simple rendered panels, large overhanging roofs and a single point of entry, taking inspiration from Katsura Palace in Kyoto, Japan. Upon entering the cavernous and womb-like space the eye is drawn to a framed view of the Indian Ocean while the stair draws one down into the main house. Below, the panoramic vista opens up, book-ended by granitic cliffs, capped with lush tropical forests. At the lower living level, the boundary between interior and veranda blur and the infinity pool seemingly flows into the ocean. Behind the stair, half a level up, the private sleeping quarters are concealed from view. Upstairs at entrance level, is a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom, laundry, storage room and double garage. In addition, the family play-room on this level enjoys superb views in all directions towards the ocean and back into the house via an internal window. In contrast, the annex is on one level, though it retains all the charm and rigour of its bigger sibling. Internally, the colour and material scheme is minimalist with painted concrete and render forming the backdrop to the occasional, understated touches of steel, timber panelling and terrazzo. Externally, the facade starts as a rusticated rougher render base, becoming refined as it ascends the building. The composition of aluminium windows gives an overall impression of elegance, proportion and beauty. Both internally and externally, the structure is exposed and celebrated.
