Limitless BuildingLimitless Building
Settled within a graffiti-covered laneway in the trendy heart of Mt Lawley you will find this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home. The owners; a young professional couple wanted to build a raw, dark industrial oasis that made use of every inch of the small lot. Amenities aplenty, they wanted their home to complement the urban inner-city lifestyle of the area. One of the biggest challenges for Limitless on this project was the small lot size & limited access. Loading materials on-site via a narrow laneway required careful coordination and a well thought out strategy. Paramount in bringing to life the client’s vision was the mixture of materials throughout the home. For the second story elevation, black Weathertex Cladding juxtaposed against the white Sto render creates a bold contrast. Upon entry, the room opens up into the main living and entertaining areas of the home. The kitchen crowns the family & dining spaces. The mix of dark black Woodmatt and bespoke custom cabinetry draws your attention. Granite benchtops and splashbacks soften these bold tones. Storage is abundant. Polished concrete flooring throughout the ground floor blends these zones together in line with the modern industrial aesthetic. A wine cellar under the staircase is visible from the main entertaining areas. Reclaimed red brickwork can be seen through the frameless glass pivot door for all to appreciate — attention to the smallest of details in the custom mesh wine rack and stained circular oak door handle. Nestled along the north side and taking full advantage of the northern sun, the living & dining open out onto a layered alfresco area and pool. Bordering the outdoor space is a commissioned mural by Australian illustrator Matthew Yong, injecting a refined playfulness. It’s the perfect ode to the street art culture the laneways of Mt Lawley are so famous for. Engineered timber flooring flows up the staircase and throughout the rooms of the first floor, softening the private living areas. Four bedrooms encircle a shared sitting space creating a contained and private zone for only the family to unwind. The Master bedroom looks out over the graffiti-covered laneways bringing the vibrancy of the outside in. Black stained Cedarwest Squareline cladding used to create a feature bedhead complements the black timber features throughout the rest of the home. Natural light pours into every bedroom upstairs, designed to reflect a calamity as one appreciates the hustle of inner city living outside its walls. Smart wiring links each living space back to a network hub, ensuring the home is future proof and technology ready. An intercom system with gate automation at both the street and the lane provide security and the ability to offer guests access from the comfort of their living area. Every aspect of this sophisticated home was carefully considered and executed. Its final form; a modern, inner-city industrial sanctuary with its roots firmly grounded amongst the vibrant urban culture of its surrounds.

Fin dai primi sopralluoghi ci ha colpito il rapporto particolare che il sito ha con lo splendido scenario della Alpi Apuane, una visuale privilegiata della catena montuosa nella sua ampiezza, non inquinata da villette “svettanti”. Ci è parsa quindi prioritaria la volontà di definire il progetto in orizzontale, creando un’architettura minima, del "quasi nulla" che riportasse alla mente le costruzioni effimere che caratterizzavano il litorale versiliese prima dell’espansione urbanistica degli ultimi decenni. La costruzione non cerca così di mostrarsi, ma piuttosto sparire tra le siepi di confine, una sorta di vela leggera sospesa su esili piedritti e definita da lunghi setti orizzontali in cemento faccia-vista, che definiscono un ideale palcoscenico per le montagne retrostanti. Un intervento calibrato e quasi timido rispetto all’intorno, che trova la sua qualità nell’uso dei diversi materiali con cui sono trattare le superficie. La zona giorno si proietta nel giardino, che diventa una sorta di salone a cielo aperto mentre la natura, vegetazione ed acqua penetrano all’interno in un continuo gioco di rimandi enfatizzato dalle riflessioni create dalla piscina e dalle vetrate. Se il piano terra costituisce il luogo dell’incontro privilegiato con natura e spazio esterno, il piano interrato è invece il rifugio sicuro, lontano dagli sguardi e dai rumori, dove ritirarsi durante la notte, protetto e caratterizzato da un inaspettato ampio patio sul lato est che diffonde la luce naturale in tutte gli spazi e le camere da letto.

The Rocks is an exquisite luxury residence situated on the shores of Lake Dunstan in Central Otago, New Zealand. Nestled seamlessly into the stone hillside, the architectural design celebrates the breathtaking landscape with large sliding glass doors providing uninterrupted views of the lake and granite slopes. The residence boasts a sleek and enduring aesthetic, constructed primarily with precast concrete to merge harmoniously with the natural environment. The flat roof design ensures a low profile against the granite slopes—mimicking the layers of metamorphic rock celebrating New Zealand’s geological charm and diversity. The incorporation of an infinity pool with ‘floating slabs’ levitates the structure over the terraced slopes of Bendigo.
