Sophisticated and Detail-Oriented Home in Melbourne

With a very complex interior design, the Coronet Grove Residence by Maddison Architects is located in the Beaumaris suburb of Melbourne, Australia. The dynamic architecture speaks about the beauty of combining raw design with the love for details. Featuring 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the residence has sophisticated open spaces and showcases a meticulous attention to details. The neighborhood had a deep impact on the design of the house and this led to an amazing connection to the surroundings. Panoramas of the Port Phillip Bay can be easily enjoyed from the long and narrow terrace, but also from the large windows that allow light to constantly create elegant shadows in each room. The architects have a better understanding of the surprising interior and exterior of the house: “Formally, the house is split into two rectangular boxes. The black, zinc-clad southern box encloses living, kitchen and outdoor spaces, and cantilevers out beyond its ground floor enclosure to capture 270° Port Phillip Bay views. The discrete activities of the house, such as sleeping and bathing, are accommodated with the separate masonry northern wing.”

Modern Living Rooms from the Far East

Inspiration from the land of dragons and emperors! Today we are featuring some living room designs from Pinchen Design, a Chinese based designer whose rooms exude comfort and luxury. Using texture, pattern and colour the rooms have been designed with real application in mind.It might be hard to pick a favourite!

The warmth of natural timbers and leather result in a welcoming living room. With the open fire on it would be a haven in winter.

East meets West in this living room.

Luxurious and beautiful but would you risk red wine in this living room?

Two identical rooms with different finishes.
Dark, moody and filled with texture, this room has a grandness about it.

A cool contemporary living space with clean lines and smooth surfaces. The upholstered wall adds a softness to the room.

A nice blend of homely comfort and a touch of opulence, a very inviting living room.

Masculine and broody.

A retro feel with a contemporary twist. The tulip style chairs and lime green hark back to groovier times but paired with stark white and contemporary light fittings it becomes crisp and stylish.

Chic country design, (with a brown leather chair for the male of the house perhaps?)

Funky light fitting and interesting feature wall

The swirls in the rug complement the flamboyant light fitting, contrasting beautifully with the striped wallpaper.

Pattern on pattern, this is how its done.

Glamour at its over the top best.

Airy Residence in Cyprus Combining Wood and Glass on a White Background

We came across a beautiful residence that presents an unequalled mixture of simplicity and modern style. Created by Greek architecture firm Varda Studio, the home named Adamos Residence is a luxurious collection of elegant spaces located in Limassol, Cyprus. The architects played with wood, stone and light to create unique living spaces that perforate through the usual interior design in order to offer an interesting choice of furniture, materials and decorations. Highlighting every room with the help of wood and powerful colours like orange and yellow, the interior design seems to be integrated in the inhabitant’s lifestyle. A large and airy living room can be seen right from the entrance. The raised deck in the living space delimitates the hallway, while the wood theme continues on the next floor. Modern staircases made from wood and glass offer a quick look into the interior design of the upstairs spaces. The Marilyn Monroe room divider in the bedroom is the perfect choice to express the elegant feeling of the home.
