Vriskaig House

Posted on Thu, 29 Aug 2024 by KiM

Vriskaig House sits above Portree Loch (in the Hebrides – an archipelago off the west coast of the Scottish mainland), sited in a wooded hillside, bedded into its wild context with views across the water. Two volumes intersect; an arching, blackened timber clad form follows the contours of the land, from which a rubbled local stone front wall descends dramatically, concealing further accommodation behind. This blackened timber cladding and natural stone walling reduces the visual impact of the dwelling from distant views.The use of natural materials runs into the interior, a free flowing, generous but understated space. The rough and rugged environment outside is striking, viewed through large expanses of slimline glazing. Clayplaster walls, natural resin floors and ash joinery work together in a carefully curated palette.
This house is very much modern and minimal which offers no distractions to the beauty outside its walls. I could sit on that sofa and watch the view for hours. Designed by Bath-based architecture and interior design firm Room. Photos: Toby Mitchell.

This 1300 sqm Mediterranean-inspired sanctuary blends richness with nature in a stunning barefoot luxury home. Textural elements like plaster walls and the lush greenery surrounding the home create a harmonious atmosphere, enhanced by natural materials and gentle sea breezes. Volumetric bodies and angled lines add interest with a central courtyard mediating between the home’s structure and its surroundings.

Designer’s own

Posted on Fri, 16 Aug 2024 by midcenturyjo

The Hartley House Project by Alison Lewis Interiors is the designer’s family home in Melbourne’s Inner North. The scope of work involved restoring period features of a Californian Bungalow while adding a modern rear extension. Once dark and monochromatic, the home now boasts light-filled spaces with warm white, wood grain, and natural stone. Soft green, burgundy, and terrazzo accents bring interest, while greenery adds movement to the revitalized bungalow.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Blue Bay Restaurant, Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, Monaco by Alexandra Saguet of AS Interior Design.
