Description:

FGR Architects created the Bloomfield Project, a striking minimal family home in Australia. With a focus on color scheme and materials, this home provides true simplistic vibes without sacrificing comfort. The main living space is open concept with large windows and a statement fireplace with wood storage. The addition of glass on the second floor provides openness without additional features or lines of a railing. Lastly, the compilation of concrete and white with wood and earthy tones provide a simple, clean, yet warm interior.

FGR Architects describes their ethos here, where they detail themselves as an "innovative minimalist design" architecture practice, focused around enriching lives. Their commitment to client inspiration and comfort, with a focus on their lifestyle is what makes design and architecture so exciting. A space to live your every day in inspiration, intimacy, and bliss. That is home.

Architect Description:

"The house has fairly closed front elevation, once past, it literally opens to gardens due to the double-height glazing covering the north facade. The north-facing rear garden also becomes an important focus with its generous outdoor terrace. A cantilevered inverted ‘U’ shape canopy hovers above, lined with timber, and continues into the internal spaces of the first floor, expressed on the ceiling and throughout the double height void in a living area located on the ground floor."
