House with an aquarium and a terrace

A single-storey 110 m² house with a covered terrace and a facade that pairs white render with timber. Inside, the palette is light and minimal: beige walls, flush doors, pale oak and black track lights, with a long aquarium behind the living-room sofa.

Task

The whole house on one level

Fit a kitchen-living room with an island, a bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, a study, a bathroom and a boiler room on one floor, with a covered terrace outside for resting and eating in the open air.

The interior had to stay light and calm, without extra detail: storage behind smooth fronts, doors flush with the walls.

Solution

Beige, pale oak and black lines

The kitchen-living room has handleless beige fronts, a pale oak island with bar stools and a wine rack, black built-in appliances and a wavy pendant. The seating area brings together a cream corner sofa, a low coffee table, aquariums and framed black-and-white landscapes, lit by black track systems and cove lighting.

The hall and corridor are light, with flush doors, a full-height wardrobe, a lit niche and a console with a pouf. The study has a desk with a soft curve, timber shelving, a sofa and Roman blinds. The bathroom is lined with travertine-look tiles and timber: a glazed shower, a bath with a timber panel, a floating vanity and black fittings.

The bedroom is the darkest room in the house: walls in dark timber panels, a low bed and a floating TV unit. The walk-in wardrobe sits behind black slatted screens, with clothes rails, shelves and lit drawers inside. The covered terrace has hanging chairs, a dining table and a glass balustrade.
