Casa Alegria: Stunningly Cozy Makeover with a Brilliant Eclectic Mix!

ByMyProperty Life

Some renovation and addition projects just improve the living conditions of the house and bring in natural light and a style makeover. Others go much deeper and redefine the entire residence and give it an entirely new identity. Casa Alegria is a project that falls in the latter category with its extensive renovation giving birth to a home that feels cozy, inviting and classy at every turn. We love how the old and the new have been carefully intertwined in here with one complementing the other. An eclectic mix of décor and even styles feels all too organic with each space flowing into the next. Violante & Rochford worked closely with the clients and the new interior feels refreshing with a backdrop in brown, cream and tan.

Stunning blend of modern and traditional styles at this relaxing family home

Moving away from the modern narrative of the all white background, the living area, kitchen and dining have a cozy and reflective setting with different textures and wonderfully diverse décor and accessory pieces making a bold statement. Among all that neutral panache, there are pops of red that you just cannot miss while brighter colors are brought in by rugs in every room. Apart from the main house, there is also a large guest room, a smaller guest area next to the pool and the landscape itself that was revamped by the architects.

The house is traditional, but the furniture is more contemporary. The furnishings are a mix of several of the owners’ previous houses, one in Barbados, London, on the East Coast “Color was used to unify the diverse pieces. Also, simpler lines, the geometric and bold Navajo pieces, and straighter lines for the furniture brought it all together as well…

    Taiwanese architecture studio CTT Architects designed this interior project for a doctor in Taipei City. The apartment is located on the 21st floor of the residential tower nestled in the mountains surrounding the Taipei Basin. The design concept places emphasis on the connection to the surrounding vistas. In contrast with the original layout, the living area has been rearranged such that one can enjoy the amazing urban night views whilst introducing the external greenery inside during the day. We have also tailored the layout to meet the requirements of the client’s modern life. Following a busy day at work, he can completely unwind in the living room in the midst of the mesmerising urban night views; and be awoken by the dappled morning sunlight reflecting off the surrounding green mountains. We believed that every aspect of an interior design requires a bespoke response to its own contextual surrounding as well as to the individual needs of the occupants. The different spatial functions such as bedroom and bathroom are seen as different grey units in the public space. However, homely styling is found inside the master bedroom. Wooden finishings are used to complement subtle light grey walls allowing the stunning views to be the main element – lush green mountain landscapes. At the entrance to the apartment, the simple grey wall with a small bench gives an air of simplicity in complete contrast with the mountain views seen through the expanse of the three window units, which speak for themselves. In the kitchen and dining area, the open plan provides ample space that can be adapted flexibly to suit the changing needs of the modern city dweller. In terms of material selection, fine textured black charred timber panels are deliberately chosen to frame the surrounding mountain and city views. The design strategy is to use the black charred wall to contrast with the green and sky during the day; at night, the blackened panels blend seamlessly into the night view. The custom-made black island comes with black taps to contrast with the white kitchen joinery behind. When it comes to detailing, our approach is to delineate different architectural elements through shadow gaps. For example the walls and ceilings are detached using shadows gaps which are also accentuated by indirect lighting after sunset. Every architectural element has been detached including the ceiling, beams, and walls to showcase themselves as individual elements and avoiding detractive decorations.
