Terrace view
Before we enter this cosy home, let's have a look at the terrace situated at the back of the house. This space is an extension of the interior and with the large sliding doors, transitioning between the inside and outside can be managed swiftly.
The terrace has a wooden finish, creating an even more warm and cosy atmosphere, while the addition of the table and chairs completes the perfect outdoor space, allowing for family and friends to be entertained outdoors while enjoying the crisp and cool air at sunset.
Blissful exterior
The exterior of this home makes use of a simple colour palette featuring off-white, grey and black, making it trendy and easy on the eye. The high ceiling is evident from this image, making it a charming sight. Since the house is situated in a quiet suburb, the architects decided that the addition of perimeter walls or fence around the property would just hide the home from street views, so an attractive garden surrounds the house instead.
A closer look
The main entrance of this fascinating home exhibits strong colour contrasts between the beige walls and black front door, however transitioning this colour palette is the addition of lilac flowers housed in a dark grey pot plant, making this inviting entrance less monochromatic and more friendly.
Simple lines have been used to create this attractive exterior, while beige walls add a warm and inviting affect that is elegant and somewhat traditional, allowing this home to perfectly merge rustic and modern elements. Charming right?
