A midcentury home in Australia was remodeled by Bower Architecture in 2014. The owners wanted to retain the distinctive character of the 1960s, but give the house a new, more modern touch. The front of the house was just refreshed and the interior and garden were modernized. Two design elements create the connection between the eras -GrauandWood for terraceand interior.
Wood for patio and modern garden design - house in Australia
The living space is expanded by the terrace, which is partially covered by the upper floor and can be used from spring to autumn. This is done by liftingSliding glass doorsalmost seamlessly separated and offers direct access to the beautiful, modern garden. Outside there is a rectangular pool and lounge area included.
Wood for the terrace and interior – modern, homely and stylish
The terrace ensures optimal comfort - decking, comfortable weatherproof upholstered furniture and a fireplace ensure a feeling of home and real enjoyment during the warm season.
Spacious interior garden with pool and lounge area
The theme of “gray and wood” is continued in the interior. The furniture is simple, functional and comfortable - a beautiful example of contemporary design oriented towards users. As a reminder of the 1960s, there are handle-free built-in cupboards in the living room and in the open kitchen. These create a uniform wood look that appears modern and at the same time the wall cabinets from the past.
