sydney based residential design studio, luiz gomez-siu design studio, has incorporated a little bit of biophilic, masculine, and scandinavian accent into the newly renovated modern 270sqm house in vaucluse, australia.giving the project its name, framed house, the architect gave a new exposure to the existing semi-detached house and has reorganized the structure into several spaces included; new open plan living space, dining, kitchen, a bathroom, and a landscaped garden which was converted from the building's pool. according to gomez-siu, the name framed house was a result of the main connecting element acts as a "frame" that framing the view to the garden. as if when one comes into the house, the black and masculine windows and doors will play as a frame, making it easy to overlook the outdoor green vibes through all corners of the house.the client had a translucent idea on how they wanted to create a house that able to bridge their needs and space. hence the brief was made to fulfill their wishes, from the general layout to the very joinery detailing. also read: adapting japanese traditional techniques in turning an old house into restaurants: project by tsutsumi and associates rafiq azam of shatotto talks architecture in the green and the poetic responsibility #storyofdesign acme reveals the neo-futuristic home inspired by traditional kentish architecture vaucluse is located very close to the beach by proximity since it was located in the eastern suburb of the big continent. there are also many public swimming pools available, and sea ice-cream surround the community awaits on the weekend. therefore, the client sees that their existing pool was no longer valued. instead, they demolished pool fences, exchange it with a whole new generous garden, which instantly increases the natural ambiance to connect with their biophilic corner inside the house. in the new design, several relocations have been made. the living room, dining room, and kitchen area are incorporated in one space, enable a more efficient layout which was enhanced by two major decisions: to reclaim the roof space by demolishing existing flat ceiling, and to maximize the opening to the rear facade by incorporating new pivot doors to the garden. this is also where the small biophilic accents were added into the house. nestled in the corner of the house's minimal white walls' shelf, there are climbing vines, a small one on the table, and a big white-planter on the backside of their sofa right at the front of their masculine kitchen tabletop. not only it is aesthetically arranged, but to also create natural healing and increase a sense of well-being inside. a room where the client can lie down on the sofa and relax while gazing at the outdoor green garden or have breakfast with such a tranquil morning view by the window. the interventions the client has made have also transformed the living space amplifying the sense of spaciousness. a higher ceiling, a seamless transition to the outdoor garden while keeping the inside and outside at the same level. meanwhile, a set of wooden chairs has made accompany the clear white dining table and a big round white lamp that accentuate an impression of a warm and modern scandinavian dining room, where the client and his family would like to spend a casual lunch with the only loved ones, pizza party, or a small-big feast during the festive season.the existing bedroom has turned into a bright, minimalist, and multifunctional bathroom that is also functioning as a laundry room. the attempt was achieved by replacing the traditional skirtings, vertical decorative profiles, and picture-hanging rails for waterproofed ones and applying a large porcelain tile to eliminate tile grouting, which somehow portrays a typical rendered and painted walls.by its function, framed house was designed to maximize storage and to put a clear division between the old house and the new ones. alongside the new alterations to the back of the house, it retained some old traditional feel to the front, including the modern ground floor bathroom, which was part of the client's brief and upkeep of the past. source: luiz gomez-siu design studio | photo credits: tom ferguson https://bit.ly/2WEaJ7A
