Neutrality by whiting Architects
Whiting Architects is an architecture and interiors design studio based in Melbourne, Australia.
They are the author of Beaconsfield house,this neutral house located in Melbourne. They were asked to create ‘a piece of serenity in the city’ for professional couple and frequent travellers.
Whiting Architects created an interior landscape through the insertion of objects into the space. "We like to break down the traditional notions of door & wall & replaced them in areas with box forms & planes. We aim for long gestures to accentuate a quality of space, create focal points and axis much like traditional urban planning, we just adjust size & scale to suit" They said.
They wanted the user to 'curate' the space they helped to create; so they can bring things to their 'personal museum' and they bring things and arrange these things. They facilitate a 'process of operation' helping them to programme the way they live. In this context it becomes a very natural process, like nesting.

Ascend to the heaven
Few days ago friend of mine asked me what kind of stairs would fit in her house.
Stairs is something necessary when there are more than just one floor and, in the past, except of some public and well known projects, not many designers or architects were taking care to get a good design on this field, as it was thought that it was just something functional.
Luckily nowadays when stairs are needed they become an important part of the project so their design is projected carefully.
In this post I wanted to share with you few of the stairs that caught my attention due to design, to space, to materials...
Hope you enjoy!
Some of them are just harmonic, even when complicated they still manage to be clean and makes a corridor area become the key of the home design.
Managing the space and the steps we can get the next floor without any wasted space.
Stairs can be stairs, can be shelves, can be sculpture... imagining is free.
Or they can be a wardrobe
Or it can became even the focus, key and center of a whole interior design project.
It can be hidden and still proud of itself.
Stairs world is huge! hope you enjoyed!
