b'embrace curvaceous charmTon Vu from Atlas Architects suggests this alternative scheme:Incorporating soft curves, round shapes and an earthy, warm palette this design helps transform the room into a grounded, nurturing space for conversation and relaxation. By seamlessly wrapping the ceiling joists into the wall detailing, exposing these structural members starts to look like a deliberate design decision. These timber elements are finished with Resene Colorwood Whitewash elaborating the soft and natural aesthetic that this colour scheme entails. The banquette seating, hugged into the wall cavity, is presented in a red clay hue, which continues down to the floor, ultimately defining the focal point. Resene Sunbaked is used to centre the space and highlight the periphery elements such as the window and the dividers between rooms. These ultimately frame the views to both the exterior and interior respectively.By reducing the harsh linearity of the original design, the space is inviting and well suited to the residential family context it is held within.email ton@atlasarchitects.com.au web www.atlasarchitects.com.auResene SoulfulRubber plantDomaynewww.domayne.com.au02 8339 7000Resene Colorwood WhitewashPacha lounge chair Resene Cult Design Infused www.cultdesign.com.au02 8062 6000Piscina coffee tablesSarah Ellison Custom hand tufted rugillustrationwww.sarahellison.com.au Rug ArtisanMalcolm White Resenewww.rugartisan.com.auSunbaked 02 9258 1137Resene Watermark Nie floor lampRemodernwww.remodern.com.au03 7064 465523'
