Salotto

Dr-Z Architects

Dall'ingresso, dietro al divisorio in listelli di legno, si accede immediatamente al salotto - camera da pranzo. Il pavimento in cotto napoletano riscalda l'ambiente contornato da muri bianchi. Il quadro marino dell'artista Simbari è incorniciato dello stesso legno dei mobili.

Libreria parete a quadro

La Linea di Castello

Come sempre su misura, abbiamo realizzato questa libreria e parete attrezzata per sistemi video-audio. Interamente realizzata a mano, sia negli intagli delle ante scorrevoli, sia nella finitura a pennello e posa della foglia ora. Per renderla ancora più accattivante abbiamo inserito nelle ante una rete sempre colorata oro e dei led che ne risaltano le sfaccettature.

Appartement contemporain — La Lanterne

Alexandre Lucas — architecture intérieure

La Lanterne - la sensation de bien-être à habiter Rénovation complète d’un appartement marseillais du centre-ville avec une approche très singulière et inédite « d'architecte artisan ». Le processus de conception est in situ, et « menuisé main », afin de proposer un habitat transparent et qui fait la part belle au bois! Situé au quatrième et dernier étage d'un immeuble de type « trois fenêtres » en façade sur rue, 60m2 acquis sous la forme très fragmentée d'anciennes chambres de bonnes et débarras sous pente, cette situation à permis de délester les cloisons avec comme pari majeur de placer les pièces d'eau les plus intimes, au cœur d'une « maison » voulue traversante et transparente. Les pièces d'eau sont devenues comme un petit pavillon « lanterne » à la fois discret bien que central, aux parois translucides orientées sur chacune des pièces qu'il contribue à définir, agrandir et éclairer : • entrée avec sa buanderie cachée, • bibliothèque pour la pièce à vivre • grande chambre transformable en deux • mezzanine au plus près des anciens mâts de bateau devenus les poutres et l'âme de la toiture et du plafond. • cage d’escalier devenue elle aussi paroi translucide pour intégrer le puit de lumière naturelle. Et la terrasse, surélevée d'un mètre par rapport à l'ensemble, au lieu d'en être coupée, lui donne, en contrepoint des hauteurs sous pente, une sensation « cosy » de contenance. Tout le travail sur mesure en bois a été « menuisé » in situ par l’architecte-artisan lui-même (pratique autodidacte grâce à son collectif d’architectes làBO et son père menuisier). Au résultat : la sédimentation, la sculpture progressive voire même le « jardinage » d'un véritable lieu, plutôt que la « livraison » d'un espace préconçu. Le lieu conçu non seulement de façon très visuelle, mais aussi très hospitalière pour accueillir et marier les présences des corps, des volumes, des matières et des lumières : la pierre naturelle du mur maître, le bois vieilli des poutres, les tomettes au sol, l’acier, le verre, le polycarbonate, le sycomore et le hêtre.

Living Room Design Photos with a Library and Terra-cotta Floors

A living room, often referred to as a lounge room in Australia and New Zealand, is the hub of the home. If you only have one living room in the house, it’s likely to serve multiple purposes: be it a place to watch TV, play games, spend quality time with family or hang out with friends. If you have the luxury of two living areas, one is usually a formal living room or lounge room, reserved for reading, relaxing and entertaining. A successful living room design is inviting, has enough seating for the whole clan – a comfortable couch is a must – and encourages conversation. Browse photos on Houzz for living room layouts, furniture and decor, and strike up a conversation with the interior designers or architects of your favourite picks. For even more living room ideas, check out the Stories section on Houzz.

Which living room layouts will work best for you?

Every living area will have design challenges. A long, narrow lounge room, for example, risks looking like a hallway if furniture is lined up against the walls. Instead, opt for small furniture items, like a cosy two-seater couch, and create various focal points throughout the space. In square living rooms, a symmetrical layout encourages a formal setting. Place seating on either side of the room, with a focal point in the middle to pull the room together. For a truly intimate vibe, replace your couch with some occasional chairs positioned around a coffee table or ottoman. This will make the main focus conversation. An open-plan home – one where the lines are blurred between kitchen, dining and living – may require a layout that focuses on definition. You’ll want to make sure furniture doesn’t block the flow between spaces, and instead use something like an area rug to create zones.

How can you decorate your living room?

The living room can be a place in which to show off your personality, but if you want a timeless living room scheme, stick to neutral walls, couches and ottomans. Colour can be added through accessories, and is a lot more interchangeable! Rugs, cushions and throws are great for adding colour, while mirrors, lamps and ceiling lights will set the mood. Make your living room unique by including family heirlooms and photos. For a polished look, try creating a coffee table vignette – you could use books as pedestals or group items together on a tray. Try adding a vase, a mixture of round and rectangular objects and some books.

What are some small living room ideas?

Small living room designs can be tricky to work with, but aren’t doomed to fail. Often, you just have to get creative with furniture. An open-back chaise can create a sense of spaciousness, while small side tables paired together can substitute a coffee table. Even better, an ottoman can be used as a footrest, coffee table or extra seating. Big furniture items like the couch are best kept in light colours, and if there’s room for a coffee table, a glass-top one is best. If you have two spaces in one – perhaps your living room sits in front of a single-wall kitchen – make sure they are connected by decor, colour and style. For definition, just add area rugs, or use your couch as a dividing wall. It’s worth having a few furniture pieces, whether a bookshelf, couch or entertainment unit, in the same colour as the walls, too, so they blend into the room and visually expand the space.

Is open-plan living for you?

Today’s homes often embrace open-plan living, whereby the living room runs off the kitchen and/or dining areas. Open-plan living allows greater functionality, but can risk creating a vast, soulless space if not done right. To avoid a cavernous feel in an open-plan design, define areas with furniture, rugs and lighting, or consider using a wall divider. Also be sure to keep flooring, lighting and materials consistent throughout, for cohesiveness. Noise may be an issue – someone banging pots and pans while you’re watching TV, for example – so include lots of soft furnishings, such as rugs, curtains and couches to help absorb the noise. You will also need to factor in plenty of storage, so mess is kept at bay.
