Far horizons Planning a new home in a scenic location is all about the big picture – maximising the site, the light and the view


in the landscape


On a clear day Double-height gables, overhanging eaves and a solid cedar and schist exterior reinforce the alpine architecture of this new house

Falling in love with a holiday destination often leads to repeat visits. But sometimes it can lead to an even bigger commitment. For the owners of this new house high above Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown, a love of the great outdoors – Central Otago in particular – sparked their own property investment. The couple, from Australia, had already bought a holiday villa in the Commonage Close development by Trinity Development Alliance. They subsequently commissioned the same company to build a new home on the spectacular site they discovered further up the


mountain. After receiving concept drawings from several architectural companies, they also chose the same architect for their new home – Francis Whitaker of Mason & Wales Architects. “The owners really appreciated the natural beauty of Queenstown, the lake, the mountains and the outdoor lifestyle on offer,” Whitaker says. “They also loved the alpine architecture of the Commonage villas, which is highly appropriate to this location. They could see that the new building site provided an opportunity to create something even more dramatic and exciting in a very powerful setting.”

Preceding pages and above: This new house in Queenstown is set back into the hill to maximise a steep site. There are terraces on the mid level and the upper level. The gabled roofline, overhanging eaves and solid cedar exterior enhance the alpine architecture.

Whitaker says the architecture is defined by its tall gabled volumes, simple, sloping roofs that shed the snow, and large overhanging eaves. “The glazed gable facades open up the house to the expansive views. The forms step forward, which means the gables can have return windows that bring the views, light and sun into the house through 180°. In keeping with the alpine aesthetic, natural materials include local schist stone and cedar. “The cedar window facings at the front of the house extend through the two storeys, creating a strong, elegant, vertical proportion to


the structure’s design,” the architect says. Schist clads the base of the building and the large garage that forms a plinth for the house. Wayne Foley, director of Trinity Development Alliance, who also managed the entire project and commissioned the consultants, says the steep site created construction challenges. “Terracing the slope to provide three flat levels involved huge cuts into the site, some of which were up to 11m deep,” he says. “It also required massive structural concrete beams in the 5m-high garage, which has a lawn and landscaping above. The building itself mainly

sits apart from the cliff, with just a couple of connections, so it is seismically isolated in the event of an earthquake.” Entry to the house is through the garage, which acts as a porte cochère – it leads to a lift and a large spiral staircase. Access is also provided by an outdoor stair, and stairs that descend from the street above, to the main living level of the house. “The sculptural spiral staircase linking all three levels of the house is part of the excitement of the building,” says the architect. “With a fully glazed wall, the views are maximised.

introduced a textural wall that defines this area and helps to capture the natural light washing across the surface.” The main living floor accommodates a large, open-plan living room with a kitchen and dining area. This is open to a breakfast area, an outdoor entertaining terrace and a games room with a bar and climate-controlled wine cellar.

Interior designers Julia Foley and Kylie Symister of Queenstown Interiors say furnishing a home this size took meticulous planning. “From designing the extensive joinery to selecting colour palettes and finishes, we


worked closely with the client to create a timeless interior that complements the architectural features and is also beautifully comfortable,” says Foley. “We took pride in the fact that most of the furnishings were sourced and made in New Zealand, with the exception of the library rug, which was flown in from Afghanistan.” Whitaker says the alpine architecture is also enduring, and its prominent location means it makes a significant contribution to the character of Queenstown. “This property is not just a home, it’s a visual amenity for the township for years to come.”

Gimme shelter On a perfect coastal site, architect Gary Banham has crafted a home that makes the most of indoor-outdoor flow in all seasons

18

search | save | share at trendsideas.com

While oceanside building sites have the obvious attractions of great views and access to the beach, they can also present specific design challenges. Architect Gary Banham says that’s particularly so along the Western Australia coastline. “There are blustering southwesterlies in the winter and afternoon sea breezes in the summer,” he says. “Plus you have to have shelter from the sun and allow for the sunsets over the Indian Ocean.” So when he came across a site south of Perth several years ago, he realised he’d


stumbled across one of the best beachfront locations in the region. It sat on a promontory immediately in front of the sand dunes, with 270° ocean views. But its unusual north-facing aspect meant the house could be designed to make the most of those views without being fully exposed to prevailing winds. “There were also advantages with the orientation for the sun,” says Banham. “Our winters can be quite cool, but the lower winter sun can penetrate into a house if it faces north.”

However, for much of the year the interiors and outdoor living areas had to be shaded from the sun. “We needed extensive overhangs, so we used the roof and balconies to give protection,” says Banham. “We’ve tapered the steel beams to cantilever the overhangs and clad them with Scyon.” These roof planes became the driving force behind the design, penetrating the interiors to form bulkheads. They also tie the house to the view, with the prominent line of the horizon in the distance.

Facing page, top: Architect Gary Banham has spent a lifetime designing houses. He realised the potential of this site when it first came on the market and perfected the plans for his own home over several years before building began. Facing page, lower: The house makes the most of the north-facing aspect with 270° views to the Indian Ocean. Above: While the oceanside site provides a great outlook, it also presented two issues that the design of the house needed to address – blustery winter winds and intense summer afternoon sun.

The strong horizontal planes in white contrast with the vertical support elements clad in dark basalt stone. These form a central spine through the house, starting at the front exterior, penetrating into the entrance way, through the living spaces and out to a west-facing outdoor entertaining and cooking area. In the living area, this vertical element houses a central fireplace and divides the seating and dining areas. As seen elsewhere in the house, associated cabinetry is designed to give the sense of floating.

“I tried not to have cabinetwork touch the floor,” says Banham. “I wanted to have it cantilever as much as I could, like the balconies and roof line.” The west outdoor area is covered by a six-metre cantilevered roof, including operable louvres. However, this alone doesn’t provide enough protection from the prevailing winds. For that, the architect created an even more sheltered area on the north face of the building. Referred to as the atrium, this inset terrace is glazed on three sides.


Bifolding doors can be opened up all round to give a completely protected indoor-outdoor space, Banham says. “It’s possible to sit there with candles lit on the table even when there’s quite a wind blowing from the west.” This seamless flow from indoors to outdoors is enhanced by using frameless glass doors to open to the entertaining areas and the limestone tiles used on the interior floors and on the terraces. The upper level of the two-storey home contains a well-equipped home

studio, a retreat area, guest bed and bath and the main bed and bath. For Gary Banham, this house by the ocean is the culmination of a lifetime designing homes. For this one, he also had the luxury of time to perfect the design. “I worked on the ideas with my son Steeg for several years – making models, discussing and making changes,” he says. “That’s meant we’ve made the right decisions architecturally and aesthetically. I couldn’t say there’s anything I would consider as being a mistake.”

Above and facing page, lower: The shape of the site allowed most interiors to face north and so be protected from prevailing winds. This includes a space that architect Gary Banham refers to as the atrium – an outdoor space that can be opened to the indoors on three sides. Even in blustery conditions, this provides a calm and sheltered outdoor entertaining area.

From inside out Wide openings, century-old rain trees and the use of natural materials ensure this contemporary new home is at one with nature

In a city where land is at a premium, it’s a luxury to be able to design a new house around mature trees on site. The extra-large size of this Singapore property and the position of two 100-yearold rain trees not only made such a design possible; it also influenced every aspect of the architecture. The house, designed by architects Maria Arango and


Diego Molina of Ong&Ong, was positioned at one end of the 2000m2 site. “This maximised the view of a ficus tree and the rain trees, which have a very sculptural form,” says Arango. “It also meant we could have a strip of lawn in front of the trees, which enhances the outlook and ensures the trees don’t drop too many of their fine leaves into the pool.”

Above: A ribbon of white stone wraps around the upper level of this contemporary Singapore house designed by Ong&Ong. Other natural materials include teak and splitgranite slabs. These form a solid wall that extends from the entry right out into the landscape. Left: This entry to a room on the lower level features a bridge across a reflection pool. It creates a deep portal into the house.

Creating an attractive and private outdoor living area was another priority. This helped to determine the decision to create a long stone wall that forms a key axis parallel to the boundary. “We chose granite because we wanted something organic and textural that would be a strong landscape feature,” says Arango. “The wall features vertical panels of split slate,

30

cut from the end blocks of the stone. Vertical slots allow light to pass through. They also provide glimpses of the view beyond without compromising privacy.” Arango says the client wanted a very clean-lined, contemporary house, with a design that wouldn’t date. “It was important that the house would not be able to be attributed to a specific period.”

The architecture recalls Modernist themes with strong horizontal lines and extensive glazing. The upper level is clad in teak wood and glass, and framed by a deep band of white stone. “The top storey is a more monolithic element, which provides a strong contrast to the transparent, glass-walled base of the house,” says Molina. “The heavy upper

floor appears to float above the ground.” The formal entry to the house passes through the granite wall, but the pathway first crosses a bridge over a reflection pool. “We wanted the entry to be quite processional,” Molina says. “The bridge invites you to step over towards the front door. The entry is also very deep, with stone wrapping


around both sides, so there is a strong sense of passing through a portal.� The main entry opens up to a large living room, with a sculptural spiral staircase in the foreground. With its solid balustrading, the staircase acts as a screen, shielding the living room from the front entry. It also anchors the space visually, and forms a dramatic backdrop for the interior.

It helps to screen the living room from the entry.

As with all new houses designed by Ong&Ong, the home has a close connection with the landscape. “Blurring the transition between inside and out is a trademark of our residential architecture,” says Arango. “We always like to emphasise the tropicality of our projects. Removing the barriers between inside and out also makes the spaces feel much larger.”

The architect says the owners can enjoy the landscape more readily when there is a seamless flow between the interior and outdoors. “It is not the same looking out through glass,” she says. “With the doors open, it’s also possible to create cross ventilation, so the breezes pass through the house, doing away with the need for constant air conditioning.”

White marble floors feature throughout the ground floor. These flow out to teak decks and a long lap pool with a Jacuzzi at one end – on the other side of a stepping stone bridge that leads to the lawn and the rain trees. An imported Japanese bonsai tree and a large sculpture that echoes the form of the spiral staircase are additional focal points in the landscape.


Natural materials are much in evidence, both inside and out. The dry kitchen features a mix of stained pine wood cabinetry and gleaming white lacquer. All the cabinets have recessed pulls so the streamlined look is maintained. The split-level island incorporates a pine wood table and a chunky marble work counter. Marble also appears in the master and guest bathrooms,

Top of the world Innovative design is transforming modern apartment buildings as architects and designers explore new ways to revitalise our cities – and our lifestyles


apartments



Space age Futuristic digital technology created the fluid, rippling form of this new apartment building in the heart of the Sydney CBD Technology is not only changing the way we live, it’s also changing the way our homes are designed. The Eliza Apartments building in downtown Sydney is one of the first of a new breed – a high-rise built to a parametric design model that enables every floor to have different dimensions. Designed by architect Tony Owen and developed by Ceerose, the 17-storey building in Elizabeth Street was created from hundreds of tessellated, individually shaped sandstone and metal panels.

The result is a fluid, sculptural form that pays homage to the surrounding heritage architecture while still providing a highly contemporary design expression. “It is a bold, curvaceous contrast to the egg-crate box style of architecture that has typified Sydney’s apartment buildings in recent years,” Owen says. “Yet it respects the historic buildings by borrowing their materials and some of their form – the balconies are a nod to the traditional bay windows common to heritage buildings in Elizabeth and Macquarie Streets.”

Preceding pages and facing page: Eliza Apartments in the Sydney CBD was designed by Tony Owen Partners Architects using parametric modelling to create a fluid, undulating facade where every floor is different. While the lower levels of the building have two two-bedroom units per floor, the upper levels have single four-bedroom units. Apartments on the upper levels look across Hyde Park to the historic Gothic Revival architecture of St Andrews Cathedral. Above: The tessellated motif on the facade can be seen in the sandstone walls of the lobby.

The geometry of the curving bays of the front facade gradually changes as the building rises, with the three-level penthouse stepped back to maximise the sun and views. “We took the geometry right down to the ground, with a protruding metal canopy over the entry,” says the architect. “The neighbouring buildings tend to have a decorative solid sandstone podium, so we created a similarly detailed podium.” The tessellated motif continues in the lobby, which features a long, sculpted

sandstone wall that curves to form the ceiling. The same motif appears in mirrored timber screens in lift lobbies, and at the rear of the building, in a 10-storey green wall. “This glazed living wall, on the north side of the building, creates a pleasant green outlook for bedrooms at the rear,” says Owen. “It also lets in plenty of natural light and sun.” The building has two two-bedroom apartments on the lower levels and single four-bedroom apartments on the upper

Facing page: Every apartment in the Eliza building opens out to a large balcony, where views are framed by the curve of the balustrading. Each of the tessellated metal and sandstone panels is individually shaped. Above: :The ripple of the balustrades brings a fluid look to the exterior as seen in this rendering.

levels. The penthouse comes with its own swimming pool and roof terrace. Open-plan living areas and master bedrooms are positioned to maximise the views of Hyde Park opposite or the harbour beyond. The views are framed by the curved metal balustrades on the balconies, which are designed as wintergardens that extend the living space.

dark timber cabinets and wall panelling, and C-Bus lighting, with fixtures fully recessed in troughs. Each apartment also has a contemporary gas fireplace set within a bronze mirrored wall. Designed for easy entertaining, the kitchens have islands with marble benchtops. Some kitchens also have a butler’s pantry and a separate preparation area for catering purposes. Bathrooms are lined with stone, with marble slabs on tub surrounds and vanities chosen for their distinctive veining.

Crisp in white A fresh, cool backdrop to black-stained timber – Resene Wan White makes a bold statement A monochromatic colour palette can pack a lot of punch, especially when the contrasting shades are black and white. This contemporary country house designed by Guy Shallard of Latitude Forty-five features such a palette. Walls and ceilings in the house are painted in Resene Wan White by Karen Walker, chosen from The Range Whites & Neutrals fandeck, which offers a collection of classic, contemporary and favourite whites and neutrals. Resene Wan White is described as an umber white that is a little warmer than grey. Here, it is teamed with black-stained American oak, blackened steel and black aluminium joinery. Shallard says he used the same colours throughout the house to provide visual continuity. In the bathrooms, Resene Wan White is painted on rough-sawn cedar boards to enhance a raw country look. To help with your colour choice, The Resene Whites & Neutrals fandeck has an extensive collection of whites and neutrals, with up to six strength variations of the most popular colours. This can help you create a tone-on-tone colour scheme. For further details, contact Resene, phone tollfree 1800 738 383 or visit a Resene ColorShop or Reseller.

Question of scale Large laser-cut screens, pleated aluminium panels and a double core bring a human scale to this high-end apartment development



With a scarcity of prime building sites in our large cities, apartment buildings are on the increase. But look around the new projects and it’s easy to see the low-cost cookie-cutter development is becoming a thing of the past. Modern apartment design is much more people focused – today it’s all about space and light, and bringing a human scale to apartment buildings. Architect Colin Leuschke of Leuschke Group says it is also about innovation – exploring new technology and materials

56

that will help achieve these objectives. The new Balfour apartment building, which was developed by New Sun Company with Leuschke Group architects Colin and Lindy Leuschke, epitomises the new approach to multi-unit architecture. “Apartment buildings can look very regular and ordinary, so it is essential to introduce detail to the exterior,” Colin Leuschke says. “But this needs to be in proportion to the size of the structure. To break down the scale of this large building, for example, we introduced massive

three-storey screens that look a little like Corten steel. They are made from laser-cut powdercoated aluminium that has been painted to resemble timber.” Leuschke describes the screens as modern-day shutters. “The screens provide privacy for the master bedrooms, but they can be folded back. They help to animate the exterior of the building, so it is never static. From the inside they look like timber, but they are completely low maintenance, which is essential for an apartment.”


The building also features a series of pleated vertical aluminium panels that run the full height of the building, concealing service rooms in the apartments. Another point of difference in the design is the provision of two central cores. “Rather than have a single core with long corridors and walkways leading to the apartments, we opted to provide two cores, each serving apartments on both sides. So the development is essentially two buildings positioned side by side,� says Leuschke. “These cores receive

plenty of natural light from full-height windows on two sides. And they each feature a wide central staircase – we hope to encourage residents to use the stairs rather than the lift. There are spectacular views from the core, and in this location, many of the residents will be walking to work, shops and cafés.” Leuschke says the developer wanted the building to exude quality, and this is evident throughout the building. “This is exactly the sort of apartment building encouraged by the city planners.

It’s a classic design where nothing has been compromised. Even in the smaller apartments, the same attention has been paid to design detail as in the four penthouses, and the same high-quality materials have been used. This ensures that all the apartments will appeal to the same type of people – the socialisation aspect is a critical element of apartment planning today.” Colin Leuschke says no two apartments are exactly the same. Even if they have a fairly similar layout, they have different views and the design detail varies.

“Another less common feature that we introduced was a common pathway at ground level – it is possible to navigate right around the outside of the property, which also helps to retain a human scale to the development.” Architect Lindy Leuschke says the penthouse, shown on these pages, highlights the unassuming backdrop the team created for the apartment interiors. “Because these apartments were built speculatively, we needed to establish a palette for everyman. The concept was


all about longevity and good taste. This couldn’t be a Flash Harry type of interior – it had to be visually quiet, yet solid and enduring.” To this end, the apartment interiors feature American white oak cabinetry. This can be seen in the kitchen, which includes a cube-like volume that accommodates the walk-in pantry. Similar cabinetry conceals the television in the living area, and reappears in the bathrooms, so visual continuity is assured. The apartments also feature wood

floors and carpet in the centre of the living area and bedrooms. “While the interiors are perfectly fine just as they are, we anticipate some residents may wish to personalise their space, and that will be easy enough to do,� says Lindy Leuschke. All the apartments are positioned to maximise sunlight and views. The penthouses on the top floor are set back from the edges of the building, so each residence has a large entertaining terrace with space for a barbecue and outdoor seating.

Cloud nine You can expect a designer to make a statement with his own apartment, and that’s precisely the case with this Miami high-rise project, which was designed to maximise light and space


apartments & interiors


Preceding pages: A soft white colour palette and sheer drapes give this apartment an ephemeral look. The interior was designed by ownerarchitect Andreas Charalambous. Above: With its corner position, the apartment provides expansive views in two directions, with the outlook equally dramatic by night or day. A corner sofa with a chaise is low enough to ensure views are not blocked from further back in the room.

When the owner-designer of this apartment came to Miami to help a client choose a new apartment, he didn’t expect he would end up purchasing an apartment himself. But that’s what happened to Washington, DC architect Andreas Charalambous of Forma Design, who fell in love with the city and could see a market potential for his business.

“Miami is unique. It’s a very modern, international city – the number of Spanishspeaking residents is among the highest in the USA,” he says. “I made a commitment to fly down once a month for the business, and it made sense to have my own apartment.” The Modern architecture evident throughout the city strongly influenced the architect’s design for the interior

of his apartment, which is in a building that dates back to the 1970s. Charalambous says that while the corner position and the spectacular views of the Miami skyline were engaging, the interior was very dated. “There was wall-to-wall carpet right through the apartment, and the kitchen looked as though nothing had changed since the ’70s – even the appliances were old. The


kitchen also had a low ceiling to accommodate the lighting. But, fortunately the apartment didn’t appear to require major structural changes.” Working with co-designer Juan Gutierrez, the architect gutted the interior, replacing all the flooring with off-white porcelain tiles that create a flowing, uncluttered look. “These tiles also have the advantage of being highly

reflective, so they bounce the light around the apartment. The large tiles are almost like mirrors on the floor.” The concrete slab ceilings and walls were painted in a similar shade to the floor. “The white palette creates a very calm, neutral backdrop, that doesn’t detract from the spectacular view,” Charalambous says. “Colour is provided by the view itself – mainly the

blue of the water and the sky.” Contrasting textures also enliven the interior – sleek acrylic, glass, and smooth leather are contrasted with an animal skin rug, upholstered furniture and a textured wall. This features a white, Mid-century-style patterned wood panel that is completely framed with coloured LED lighting that creates a threedimensional effect.

Above: All eyes on the view – or perhaps the decorative wall panelling. Charalambous suspended a patterned wood panel a few centimetres out from the wall, and framed the panel with LED lighting. The colour can be changed to create different mood lighting. Track lighting overhead is fixed directly to the concrete slab.

“The panel is suspended a few centimetres in front of the wall, and at night it appears to float within the space,” says the architect. A full-length mirror sits on the floor in the dining area, where it reflects a slice of the panoramic views back into the adjoining kitchen, which incorporates new cabinetry and space-saving refrigerator drawers.

“The original kitchen had overhead cabinets on all the walls,” says Charalambous. “To open up the room and make it appear more spacious, I chose to have overhead cabinets only at the end. But I did add a painting and a Rococo mirror – the design of the kitchen is so simple, I felt it needed a little jolt.” The sense of space is also increased by changes to the

master suite. A walk-in closet was removed, so the bedroom gained an extra 1.5m. This created enough room for a king-sized bed – the architect chose a low platform bed that makes the ceiling seem higher. The position of the door to the master bedroom was also moved, which opened up a direct sightline from the living area down the passageway to the bedroom.

“This is a much longer perspective than was there before, so the apartment feels a lot bigger,� the architect says. To enhance the natural light pouring into the apartment, the door to the bathroom was glazed and covered with a privacy film. The architect also replaced a bathtub with an open vanity and a large shower lined with natural pebbles.

Finishing touch White cabinetry is enlivened with colourful accessories and sculptural designer light fixtures in this new kitchen



White kitchens help to create a crisp, clean look for a family living area. But that’s often where any similarity between white kitchens ends. And the reason is simple – white is the perfect backdrop for a variety of colour accents that may be introduced through materials, products or accessories. For example, this family kitchen by designer Renae Keller avoids a sterile, allwhite look through the innovative use of colour and form. Keller says the kitchen, which is in a new house, needed to have

74

a modern, clean-lined look to complement the contemporary architecture. “An all-white kitchen would have been too stark, however,” the designer says. “So we introduced a subway tile backsplash in a warm putty colour, with a crackle glaze. This has a little more of a traditional feel, yet it works with the classic, square-edged design of the cabinetry.” Keller says rail and stile doors on the cabinets also help to soften the look, so it is neither too clinical nor too ornate. But it is the finishing touches that

really raise the kitchen out of the ordinary. Two sculptural LZF light fixtures featuring a ribbon-like wood veneer pigmented in a grey shade are suspended above the island. The dining table is also highlighted – by a Bocci pendant light comprising 14 borosilicate glass globes. “The lighting creates a focal point within the large, open-plan living space, which has high ceilings,” says Keller. “The pendants have a round, organic feel that is another nice contrast to the crisp, square lines of the cabinetry.”

Bright pops of colour also enliven the kitchen. The owners’ collection of blue and green ceramic and glass pieces are displayed throughout the space, adding another organic touch. “Several of these pieces are displayed in a contemporary built-in sideboard, which features a fun wallpaper in a turquoise colour with a traditional trellis pattern,” says Keller. “The shelves are glass, with white-painted wood edges. The glass enables the light to travel right down through all the shelves.”

The designer custom designed an oval dining table with a wood and stainless steel base, and teamed this with Eames moulded plastic dining chairs. “Again, the softer shape of the oval ensures the table does not compete with the island. It is always about achieving a visual balance.” Functionality is also assured. As well as the ample storage in the kitchen, there is a separate walk-in pantry. Small appliances are hidden from sight in a cabinet to the right of the refrigerator.



Two sides to every story A lush, landscaped inner courtyard splits this remodelled house in two, and places the kitchen and dining room across from each other

Kitchens and family living areas are increasingly designed to connect to the outdoors, but this project puts a new spin on the concept. The traditional Singapore shophouse, which was extensively renovated by architects Maria Arango and Diego Molina, comprises two separate volumes. The larger of the two accommodates the main living areas on the ground floor, with

bedrooms on the upper two levels. The second volume houses the kitchen, maid’s quarters and a swimming pool on the upper level. “This family home needed to be light filled,” says Molina. “Splitting the house into two volumes with a small connecting courtyard allows sunlight to stream into the middle. It also lets breezes ventilate the interior naturally.”

With a living green wall to one side, a shade tree in the opposite corner, and the floor covered entirely in carpet grass, the setting forms an attractive indoor garden and play area. “The green space is the visual focus of the ground floor,” the architect says. “And because there are no partitions, the garden can be enjoyed from the kitchen at the back

meets new design approach that defines other areas of the house, the kitchen features modern cabinets in sleek timber veneer. These are teamed with an island wrapped in Calacatta Gold marble. The galley-style workspace puts everything within close reach, and with the island open at both ends, circulation is also streamlined. As with most Singapore


homes, there is a separate wet kitchen. This is positioned behind the front kitchen, next to the spiral staircase. Decorative cement floor tiles help to anchor the room visually, and provide a link to the home’s past – they are replicas of traditional shophouse tiles. The tile pattern is repeated in the master suite on the top level of the house. Across the courtyard in the

living space, the dining table is separated from the seating area by a large staircase. “This is another point of illumination,” says Molina. “Sunlight streams in from the skylights in the lantern roof directly above.” While the stair has a bold, sculptural contemporary form, its simplicity ensures it does not detract from the original shophouse features.

Rise and shine This family bathroom reflects decor contrasts in the rest of the home – with touches of sparkle and glamour Bathrooms and powder rooms present an opportunity to break with a home’s principal interior design. Alternatively, they can allow a designer to extend a concept and have some fun with it at the same time. This bathroom and powder room are in a house that features traditional and modern spaces with a black-and-white palette, says interior designer and homeowner Dana Lane. “All these themes can be seen to varying degrees in the family bathroom, which has a predominantly old-world emphasis, with some playful modern touches. A traditional dado rail and beadboard wall set the scene, and the high skirting boards featured elsewhere in the home are continued here. “Two principal elements lead the design,” says Lane. “We reclaimed an old dresser and gave it a new lease of life, painting it black and adding a white engineered stone benchtop. This solid piece is finished with a curved mixer tap and freestanding basin. The clawfoot bath is another old-world piece. This builds on the black-and-white scheme seen in the vanity and chequered floor tiles.” More contemporary accents include the clean-lined glass shower stall. Subway tiles used to line the interior are in a modern, large format, similar to the splashback in the kitchen. Reflection and sparkle provide modern glamour – the room contains three contemporary mirrors, a Deco-style mirror over the vanity, and two other mirrors with frames decorated in reflective glass studs. The claw feet on the bath were dipped in chrome to make them shine. The modest powder room has the same high skirting boards and Smoked Oak limewashed floors found in most rooms of the house. This space also features a large mirror, but both the washstand and tapware are contemporary. A large painting of butterflies brings colour and lightness to the space.

Left and following pages: This largely black-and-white bathroom forms part of a house that has traditionally styled rooms at the front and contemporary spaces to the rear. The bathroom picks up on both looks, featuring coloured walls, high skirting boards and a dado rail that are in keeping with the older-style rooms, but also offering touches of glamour and shiny modernity.

Just as family rooms have been opened up in recent years to provide spacious, flowing living areas, so are master suites becoming a lot more seamless. The entire top floor of this traditional Singapore shophouse, which has been remodelled by Ong&Ong Architects, is given over to a new master suite. The bedroom, at one end, is open to the bathroom at the other, with a staircase between. Architect Maria Arango says despite the fact that these two rooms are separated by what appears to be a communal space,

they have a strong sense of connection. “Both rooms have wide openings, soaring ceilings with timber beams, and a long limestone vanity top in the bathroom extends right along the wall to form a desk area beside the bedroom.” A long, low mirror, backlit by LED lighting, and additional lighting beneath the cantilevered cabinetry reinforce the connection between the spaces. To provide privacy, the toilet room and shower next to the stairs are screened by a sandblasted glass wall. This also allows

the natural light to pass through the space, from a skylight in a lantern roof directly above the stairs. High-gloss wardrobe doors lining one wall of the bedroom also help to reflect the light. A sculptural freestanding tub takes centre stage in the bathroom. This sits on a replica shophouse-tile floor, and is positioned so the owners can enjoy an attractive garden outlook – glass sliding doors open to a living wall of greenery. There is also a slatted timber screen on the balcony to provide privacy.
