Beachside Apartment Renovation For Profit 2

A top floor apartment with amazing ocean views in the same highrise building as the apartment renovation 1. They took a similar approach as with apartment renovation 1, with the same layout and similar materials. This time Alenka created a more neutral and lighter colour palette to appeal to a greater range of buyers. They again completely transformed an outdated apartment into a luxury beach-side home. An apartment was sold in June 2019 and achieved another record price for the building.

eltejadoazul - reformas e interiorismo

La reforma comienza por un desmantelamiento casi total del sistema de divisiones de la anterior casa, creando una tabula rasa en búsqueda de la mayor expresividad y ligereza de espacios. En ese proceso de retroceso a lo radical de lo constructivo se retiran del mismo modo cerramientos, como el que rodeaba la terraza (con apariencia más bien de pequeño patinillo), además de la piel del sistema estructural de pilares con vigas descolgadas. "La condición por parte del cliente fue que los materiales fueran muy expresivos hasta llegar a su forma casi brutalista. Los nuevos materiales son el hierro natural y la madera de pino", explica Cristina Cucinella, arquitecta del estudio. A estos nuevos materiales se les suma el hormigón visto, sacado a la luz de la estructura original. La nueva organización de la vivienda será secuencial, eliminando cualquier posibilidad de espacio residual, reduciendo lo espacial también a su máxima sinceridad: una estancia te lleva a la siguiente, sin pasillos, sin distribuidores, empleando como únicos conectores la luz y la materialidad, y como divisores, la gradación de usos. De este modo, en la parte central de la vivienda se situarán el estudio y el baño, como una pieza neutra, intermedia; en la zona de acceso y junto a la luminosa terraza, ahora liberada de los muros que la rodeaban, se colocarán en "L" la cocina-comedor y el salón; al final de la casa, en el lugar más tranquilo, los dos dormitorios. El espacio de uso más nocturno se abre con dos grandes ventanales al exterior, inundando de luz los dormitorios. Casi como un juego de niños, sendas cajas de madera hacen de "balcón interior", salvando las irregularidades de la planta y creando un habitáculo dentro del habitáculo. Recuerda a aquellas casitas que hacíamos de niños, con los grandes cojines del sofá de casa de nuestros padres, cuando queríamos cobijarnos. El pavimento, también de madera pero de una blancura que potencia la luminosidad de los dormitorios, se orienta en diagonal, siguiendo el recorrido de la luz. En el centro, como charnela, la zona de estudio y baño se neutraliza, mostrándose en un bicromatismo blanco-negro, y situándose en el punto medio de los dos extremos en tensión El espacio diurno funciona como una vivienda patio, gracias a ese doble carácter de la nueva terraza: se vuelca hacia sí mismo, y se distribuye por su propia geometría en dos partes diferenciadas sin necesidad de divisores. La potente isla de la cocina y su continuidad en mesa de comedor hacen de esta pieza diseñada a medida su centro, mientras que en el ángulo se sitúa la zona de estar. Desde aquí parte un plano continuo de almacenamiento, correspondiente al muro medianero, que atravesará y conectará toda la casa. En la cocina-salón será una estantería de madera de pino; al cruzar la puerta pivotante que separa del área central de estudio, se convertirá en los armarios y espacios trastero. Grandes planchas correderas de hierro cierran el almacenaje, sobrepasando sus límites y prolongándolos más allá, hasta la estantería de madera en un extremo, y hasta las cajas de madera de los dormitorios. La intervención de El Tejado Azul es sencilla, lógica, sincera. Al mismo tiempo, resuelve las necesidades de sus clientes, y también sus deseos y caprichos. Pero no sólo eso... tiene algo más. Te puedes imaginar abriendo puertas secretas, refugiándote un día de humor raro con un libro en una de sus cajas de madera. Este hogar hace feliz a quien vive allí, se puede encontrar la ilusión de una vida resguardada en sus estancias, y ése es un material que la arquitectura jamás debería olvidar.

Japandi Home

SDA Architects

After the second fallout of the Delta Variant amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic in mid 2021, our team working from home, and our client in quarantine, SDA Architects conceived Japandi Home. The initial brief for the renovation of this pool house was for its interior to have an "immediate sense of serenity" that roused the feeling of being peaceful. Influenced by loneliness and angst during quarantine, SDA Architects explored themes of escapism and empathy which led to a “Japandi” style concept design – the nexus between “Scandinavian functionality” and “Japanese rustic minimalism” to invoke feelings of “art, nature and simplicity.” This merging of styles forms the perfect amalgamation of both function and form, centred on clean lines, bright spaces and light colours. Grounded by its emotional weight, poetic lyricism, and relaxed atmosphere; Japandi Home aesthetics focus on simplicity, natural elements, and comfort; minimalism that is both aesthetically pleasing yet highly functional. Japandi Home places special emphasis on sustainability through use of raw furnishings and a rejection of the one-time-use culture we have embraced for numerous decades. A plethora of natural materials, muted colours, clean lines and minimal, yet-well-curated furnishings have been employed to showcase beautiful craftsmanship – quality handmade pieces over quantitative throwaway items. A neutral colour palette compliments the soft and hard furnishings within, allowing the timeless pieces to breath and speak for themselves. These calming, tranquil and peaceful colours have been chosen so when accent colours are incorporated, they are done so in a meaningful yet subtle way. Japandi home isn’t sparse – it’s intentional. The integrated storage throughout – from the kitchen, to dining buffet, linen cupboard, window seat, entertainment unit, bed ensemble and walk-in wardrobe are key to reducing clutter and maintaining the zen-like sense of calm created by these clean lines and open spaces. The Scandinavian concept of “hygge” refers to the idea that ones home is your cosy sanctuary. Similarly, this ideology has been fused with the Japanese notion of “wabi-sabi”; the idea that there is beauty in imperfection. Hence, the marriage of these design styles is both founded on minimalism and comfort; easy-going yet sophisticated. Conversely, whilst Japanese styles can be considered “sleek” and Scandinavian, “rustic”, the richness of the Japanese neutral colour palette aids in preventing the stark, crisp palette of Scandinavian styles from feeling cold and clinical. Japandi Home’s introspective essence can ultimately be considered quite timely for the pandemic and was the quintessential lockdown project our team needed.

White Dining Room Design Ideas with Wood Walls

A dining room can be used for casual dining, integrated into an open plan and connected to the living and kitchen areas; or as a formal space reserved solely for entertaining. While it may not be used frequently, it is a great focal point in the home, and requires little furnishings. Here's what you need to consider before you start planning a new dining room...

How will you use your dining room?

First, consider how frequently you will use the space. If you plan on using your dining room on a daily basis, a casual dining set-up with sturdy, long-lasting furniture is best. As for where you position it – well, any unused space in the home can be converted into a casual dining space, whether it be at the end of a kitchen island, or at the bottom of the stairs. A formal dining room, on the other hand, is more suited to a dedicated space, which is more common in heritage homes where space originally wasn’t at a premium. Perhaps you want your dining room to multi-task and accommodate everyday meals, homework sessions and grown-up dinner parties… If that’s the case, furniture is key. Look for versatile dining tables in either Australian or New Zealand hardwood or weathered timber for a more rustic look. These won’t show up sticky fingerprints as much and can be dressed up for guests.

What size and shape should your dining table be?

Your dining table should be able to seat all family members with some room for additional guests – each person should have at least 60 centimetres of space at the table. The right size, however, also depends on how much room you have. A general rule of thumb is to leave no less than 1 metre from the dining table to the wall or any additional furniture, so people have enough room to comfortably move around the space. Rectangular dining tables are versatile and can work in a variety of settings, while oval dining tables are more traditional and can turn any meal into an occasion. If you have a tight space to work in, a round dining table is best, and also a great option if you want to encourage conversation. A square dining table can be a dramatic addition to a dining room, but only if you have the space. It allows everyone at the table to see each other, but the bigger the table, the harder it will be able to hold a conversation with someone at the other end.

What type of dining chairs should you choose?

Once you’ve decided on a dining table, look for dining chairs that share a common design element. If your dining table legs are curved, for example, try to match them with dining chairs that have a similar curve, either in the legs or back. Next, consider the dimensions of the chair. The height of your dining chairs should allow at least 30 centimetres between the top of the seat and the top of the table. And to keep your tush happy, avoid dining chairs narrower than 45 centimetres.

How can you decorate your dining room?

Dining rooms are relatively minimal spaces, but that makes them a great place to splash a little colour through artwork, especially if yours is a formal dining room. If your dining room is lacking warmth, consider painting the walls a deep shade of red or blue, or go contemporary with black or grey. A cosy rug will make the space feel more intimate, while a sideboard or cabinet of curiosities will further personalise the space. Often overlooked, dining room lighting can also drastically alter the mood of a room, creating drama, spurring romance or encouraging conversation. Opt for soft lighting in the dining area with dimmer switches, and choose oversized pendants in large, open spaces or to make the dining area more of a focal point. Finally, add some table settings, such as a lace tablecloth for a whimsy feel, or a more basic table runner for a chic look.
