It is true that a house conveys a great deal of information about its occupants, but this three-story dwelling not only conveys information about its people, but also about the architects who designed it… An Asian-influenced house with entirely open-plan living areas in the manner of New York lofts has been created by Benjamin Exbrayat and Claire Parrotin of cube architects. The home is intended for a family of five and was inspired by the many problems that they faced. The beginning of this tale of professional expertise takes place when a family purchased an off-plan property with a different idea of how to make use of the space that was available. However, they came to the realization that the units were actually relatively small in size, contrary to what they had anticipated. When cube architects were brought in, they were given the task of redesigning each area and redefining their requirements. The blueprint was then modified to ensure that the property of their dreams became the finest possible reality. The primary entry, which is defined by the use of color, passes through to the dining room and then has an aperture that connects to the kitchen. The kitchen, which was previously a small room, has been converted into a welcome place and the center of the house by including an unobtrusive wall décor that is conducive to entertaining. finished with a center island that is without flaws and is made of ceramics and anodized aluminum for ease of maintenance; space is improved by further stacking of cupboards in the thickness of its walls. Similar to how a poorly positioned living room has been transformed into a family space that is both intimate and luxurious, with its many custom-built shelves and niches in a combination of white lacquered panels and solid teak – ideal for accommodating artworks collected by the owner. Additionally, the master suite, which was clumsily laid out, has been rescued by an open-plan bathroom and carefully partitioned wardrobes. with storage space optimised along wall lengths; colour palettes juxtaposed to augment natural light; and understated decor customised to individual personality types, the restricted material palette of aluminium, oak and walnut and equally simplistic colour palette complete the architect’s act of osmosis, spreading life from the heart of the house, making it a home, where fulfilment is the leitmotif.
