L’achat de cet appartement a été conditionné par l’aménagement du balcon. En effet, situé au cœur d’un nouveau quartier actif, le vis à vis était le principal défaut. OBJECTIFS : Limiter le vis à vis Apporter de la végétation Avoir un espace détente et un espace repas Créer des rangements pour le petit outillage de jardin et les appareils électriques type plancha et friteuse Sécuriser les aménagements pour le chat (qu’il ne puisse pas sauter sur les rebords du garde corps). Pour cela, des aménagements en bois sur mesure ont été imaginés, le tout en DIY. Sur un côté, une jardinière a été créée pour y intégrer des bambous. Sur la longueur, un banc 3 en 1 (banc/jardinière/rangements) a été réalisé. Son dossier a été conçu comme une jardinière dans laquelle des treillis ont été insérés afin d’y intégrer des plantes grimpantes qui limitent le vis à vis de manière naturelle. Une table pliante est rangée sur un des côtés afin de pouvoir l’utiliser pour les repas en extérieur. Sur l’autre côté, un meuble en bois a été créé. Il sert de « coffrage » à un meuble d’extérieur de rangement étanche (le balcon n’étant pas couvert) et acheté dans le commerce pour l’intégrer parfaitement dans le décor. De l’éclairage d’appoint a aussi été intégré dans le bois des jardinières de bambous et du meuble de rangement en supplément de l’éclairage général (insuffisant) prévu à la construction de la résidence. Enfin, un gazon synthétique vient apporter la touche finale de verdure. Ainsi, ce balcon est devenu un cocon végétalisé urbain où il est bon de se détendre et de profiter des beaux jours !

Our client moved into a modern apartment in South East London with a desire to warm it up and bring the outside in. We set about transforming the space into a lush, rustic, rural sanctuary with an industrial twist. We stripped the ceilings and wall back to their natural substrate, which revealed textured concrete and beautiful steel beams. We replaced the carpet with richly toned reclaimed pine and introduced a range of bespoke storage to maximise the use of the space. Finally, the apartment was filled with plants, including planters and living walls, to complete the "outside inside" feel. Photography by Adam Letch - www.adamletch.com

They say the magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave and even better to come back and that is exactly what this family wanted to create when they purchased their Bondi home and prepared to renovate. Like Marilyn Monroe, this 1920’s Californian-style bungalow was born with the bone structure to be a great beauty. From the outset, it was important the design reflect their personal journey as individuals along with celebrating their journey as a family. Using a limited colour palette of white walls and black floors, a minimalist canvas was created to tell their story. Sentimental accents captured from holiday photographs, cherished books, artwork and various pieces collected over the years from their travels added the layers and dimension to the home. Architrave sides in the hallway and cutout reveals were painted in high-gloss black adding contrast and depth to the space. Bathroom renovations followed the black a white theme incorporating black marble with white vein accents and exotic greenery was used throughout the home – both inside and out, adding a lushness reminiscent of time spent in the tropics. Like this family, this home has grown with a 3rd stage now in production - watch this space for more... Martine Payne & Deen Hameed
