The Camberwell House was designed by design studio InForm. The central location of this Camberwell home provided the unique opportunity to create a peaceful, private and secure home for a young, busy family that feels worlds away from the bustling street outside.
Inspired by the clients’ affinity with mid-century architecture, the home is characterised by its minimalist yet playful palette of bagged and painted brickwork, breeze blocks, timber, brass, white painted lining boards and curved elements.
A garden wall concept emerged as the solution, providing a way to close off the property from the street while creating visual intrigu, A long single level horizontal wall becomes a backdrop to the landscaping. During the day, breeze blocks filter soft dappled light into the interior, while at night, the screens are illuminated from the interior creating a dramatic patterned light effect on the façade.
In the interior，the living spaces and bedrooms are separated by a central entry hallway that carefully zones public and private spaces, while curved walls direct people to a generous open plan kitchen, meals and living space orientated to the north.
