DIAMOND HEIGHTS MID-CENTURY

Lincoln Lighthill Architect

This Eichler-esque house, in a neighborhood known for its tracts of homes by the famous developer, was a little different from the rest- a one-off custom build from 1962 that had mid-century modern bones but funky, neo-traditional finishes in the worn-out, time capsule state that the new owners found it. This called for an almost-gut remodel to keep the good, upgrade the building’s envelope and MEP systems, and reimagine the home’s character. To create a home that feels of its times, both now and then- A mid-century for the 21st century. At the center of the existing home was a long, slender rectangular form that contained a fireplace, an indoor BBQ, and kitchen storage, and on the other side an original, suspended wood and steel rod stair down to the bedroom level below. Under the carpeted treads we were sure we’d find beautiful oak, as this stair was identical to one at our earlier Clarendon heights mid-century project. This elegant core was obscured by walls that enclosed the kitchen and breakfast areas and a jumble of aged finishes that hid the elegance of this defining element. Lincoln Lighthill Architect removed the walls and unified the core’s finishes with light grey ground-face concrete block on the upgraded fireplace and BBQ, lacquered cabinets, and chalkboard paint at the stair wall for the owners’ young children to decorate. A new skylight above the stair washes this wall with light and brightens up the formerly dark center of the house. The rest of the interior is a combination of mid-century-inspired elements and modern updates. New finishes throughout- cork flooring, ground-face concrete block, Heath tile, and white birch millwork give the interior the mid-century character it never fully had, while modern, minimalist detailing gives it a timeless, serene simplicity. New lighting throughout, mostly indirect and all warm-dim LED , subtly and efficiently lights the home. All new plumbing and fixtures similarly reduce the home’s use of precious resources. On the exterior, new windows, insulation, and roofing provide modern standards of comfort and efficiency, while a new paint job and brick stain give the house an elegant yet playful character, with the golden yellow Heath tile from the primary bathroom floor reappearing on the front door.

Дизайн-проект вторички на Дуси Ковальчук

Дарья Уткина

Всё чаще ко мне стали обращаться за ремонтом вторичного жилья, эта квартира как раз такая. Заказчики уже тут жили до нашего знакомства, их устраивали площадь и локация квартиры, просто они решили сделать новый капительный ремонт. При работе над объектом была одна сложность: потолок из гипсокартона, который заказчики не хотели демонтировать. Пришлось делать новое размещение светильников и электроустановок не меняя потолок. Ниши под двумя окнами в кухне-гостиной и радиаторы в этих нишах были изначально разных размеров, мы сделали их одинаковыми, а старые радиаторы поменяли на новые нмецкие. На полу пробка, блок кондиционера покрашен в цвет обоев, фортепиано - винтаж, подоконники из искусственного камня в одном цвете с кухонной столешницей.

House in Sanjo 三条の家

SNARK Inc.／株式会社SNARK（一級建築士事務所）

新潟県三条市に建つ木造の2世帯住宅である。冬に数回の大雪が降る市街地では主要道路に消雪パイプが張り巡らされ、ほぼすべての家に風除室とカーポートが備わっている。冬の寒さに一番のプライオリティをおき計画された雪国らしい新興住宅街に敷地はある。この地域では宅地化がゆるやかに進んでおり、田んぼと宅地が混ざったのどかな住宅街を形成している。消雪パイプが埋設された西の道路側へカーポートを配置するのは必須であり、カーポートは敷地の一部のように前提条件として与えられているように思えた。周囲の住宅とカーポートの関係を観察すると、カーポートと玄関が近接しているため一階への採光が取れず玄関が暗そうであったり、そうなることを避けるようにカーポートと玄関の距離をとった結果うまく接続できていない建ち方が多い。ここではカーポートと建物を近づけながら玄関をカーポートの屋根より高い吹き抜けのヴォリュームで配置し、屋根より高い窓から十分な採光と通風を確保するよう計画した。冬は日射により暖められた玄関の空気を、夏はカーポートの日陰により冷やされた空気を室内に導く仕掛けとして吹き抜けの玄関に面した2階の洗面に小窓や、階段室の天井にトップライトへ空気を逃がすルーバーを設けている。２世帯は玄関と浴室を共有するが、それぞれのリビングはお互いに心地よい距離感で生活できるように断面的な重なりを避け、１階親世帯のリビング部分を平屋とし、南側道路に対して親密なスケールを与えている。２階は回遊性のあるワンルームとし様々な生活のシーンが田園風景と共にコアの周りで展開される。整然と並ぶ田んぼの風景に呼応したシンメトリーな立面から庭側へ飛び出した２階の小上がり部分は１階の庭への出入り口の屋根となり、庭との関係を紡ぐ。地域性に応答するための小さな工夫の集まりでできた住宅である。

Living Room Design Photos with Cork Floors and Tatami 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.
