Originally this brick house in Cronulla in southern Sydney was a dark and cluttered space, with very little flow or sense of movement. With an extensive renovation by Mac Interactive Architects, it's hard to believe that this 1970s house - was ever a standard 1970s house at all. Extensive use of concrete, with soft wooden floors and muted colours has changed the once dark spaces to areas of light. The house successfully channels a pared back minimal aesthetic. Careful thick paneling in soft greys continue up the walls onto the ceiling to create the impression of a high studded ceiling whilst the owners' music den finds its home in the basement. The designers also paid careful attention to lighting (both natural and artificial) whilst also attempting to not make any aspect of the home too dominating. We like their choice in furniture also - you can see the profilic Thonet No. 18 Chair by Michael Thonet and the Take A Line For A Walk Chair by Alfredo Haberli for Moroso.
