The contemporary interior comes from the heritage architecture which is maintained by the designers. This interior is supported by some decorative elements with the materiality and texture to flow out the dialogue inside the house.

The contemporary interior is developed with a strategy: pairing the rich spaces which are lofty and architecturally. With some skirting boards and ornate cornices, the heritage detail can be seen in a rich texture and refinement contrast.

The original details of traditional portion like a grand entry wall, lacework, timber windows, skirtings, ornate cornices, and high ceilings are redefined with the warm white and grey palette. The open portion is architectural with framed doors, windows, and white painted brickwork.

 

Materials

The midnight blue palette and figured grey-stone can make a strong architectural feeling in the kitchen area. This strong architectural style also comes from the brick, steel, timber trusses, and polished concrete as texture elements, providing a sense of nostalgia.

 

Frame

Barcom Terrace is not only designed in a contemporary interior but also framed with a contemporary frame of melding 1800s grand living style. This kind of frame can define the whole spaces of the house while showing the textually rich undercurrent.

 

Colors

This house is not only rich in materials but also colors. With painted walls and tiles, some rooms are designed beautifully. Those colors offer a strong look, especially in some private rooms of the house like the bedroom and bathroom.
