IN PROGRESS / 60s REVIVAL: A MODERN FAMILY HOME
THE BRIEF
A 1960s house needed transforming for a growing family. The owners wanted to honour its mid-century origins while creating warm, practical spaces for modern living. They were drawn to bold contrasts and natural elements, seeking a home that would feel both playful and sophisticated.
OUR SOLUTION
We embraced the home's 60s heritage through considered design choices. The palette plays with dramatic contrasts - light and dark tones create dynamic spaces, while warm timber flooring and wooden accents add natural character throughout.
Playful elements appear in carefully chosen details - striking stripes in upholstery and wall treatments bring energy, while jungle-inspired botanical prints and statement houseplants add exotic touches. Every specification, from ironmongery to light switches, was selected to complement both mid-century style and contemporary needs.
Each space balances form with function, creating rooms that work effortlessly for family life while maintaining sophisticated style. Storage solutions are integrated seamlessly, ensuring the home remains practical without compromising its design integrity.
THE RESULT
This will be a home that celebrates its 1960s roots while embracing modern family living. The successful blend of mid-century elements with contemporary design will create spaces that feel both timeless and current. This will be a house that will grow and evolve with its family, proving that practical spaces can be both playful and sophisticated.
