Custom joinery

A curved cream sofa, rounded armchairs and layered stone and glass tables create an open conversation area. The low furniture preserves views toward the staircase, upper gallery and secondary lounge.

The renovated entrance combines pale stone-look flooring, a stone console, abstract artwork and indoor planting. The opening ahead frames the dark stone staircase and the brighter double-height centre of the house.

Dark stone stair treads and clear glass balustrades form the principal architectural feature within the double-height hall. Full-height curtains diffuse daylight, while the amber glass pendant installation links the ground floor with the upper gallery.

The elevated view shows the relationship between the living room, dining area, kitchen and staircase. A large rug contains the curved seating group while broad circulation routes remain open around it.

The dining area is defined by a pale stone table, textured chairs and a custom oak shelving composition. Vertical fins and open shelves form a warm background between the living room and charcoal kitchen.

ALEX

Alex, the name of the project as well as that of its owner, was designed as a utopian space for a bachelor who loves the bare beauty of minimalist lines. This new 47 sqm two-room public housing flat came with the standard compartmentalised areas for living, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. VC Good design is based on function, and I’m not afraid to break conventions to achieve it. I removed unnecessary internal walls and doors to achieve a continuous flow of space, with functions positioned and designed in a way which considers ease of use and the homeowner’s priorities.
