Modern Retreat

A Young Family’s Home

Home to a young family with modern tastes, this design mindfully balances different spaces, giving each the weight and room it deserves and needs. Warm and timeless surroundings support and enhance the routines and rhythms of family life. 

A spacious kitchen is laid out asymmetrically, complete with breakfast table and central island. In the family room, the onyx fireplace becomes the focal point, especially at night, when the bookmatched slabs are backlit to cast a warm glow. The more formal living and dining room underscore the owners’ love of music and art with their minimalist design. All spaces contribute to the generous, light-filled and comfortable atmosphere. 

Upstairs, each of the bedrooms captures a bit of the spirit of its inhabitants, from the little ones’ colourful creativity to the parents’ retreat for rest and recovery. The central stair structure becomes a perfect circulation spine, connecting the three storeys materially, spatially and functionally.
