This terrace house renovation has been designed by Luigi Rosselli Architects, located in Paddington, a suburb of east of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Faced with the age old problems presented by much loved terrace housing – damp, dark and introverted – the architects sought to create a luminous space to give a full family a much needed dose of vitamin D. Introducing some fluid lines with a light filled stairwell at the center and a sun drenched kitchen and living at the rear, the new configuration of old and new proves an enriching experience.
An awning at the rear allows the living area to be shaded or bathed in light.
Family room features bold colors and rich textures.
Accustomed to muted tones, and a subtle palette, a much needed spring was put in our step by the bold use of colors, delphinium blues, cadmium yellows, beautiful artworks, exotic patterns and rich textures carefully selected by the interior designer in residence, Heidi Correa. The lush landscaping at the rear provides a verdant backdrop to family life. The final result knocked even us off our feet.
Grooved lining boards bring a touch of Palm Beach to Paddington.
