Dan Gayfer Design has sent us their latest project, a renovation of a five-metre (16 ft) wide inner city home in Melbourne, Australia.

The only parts of the original house that were kept was the facade and the front two rooms. The clients, a young couple, wanted the convenience of inner city living without compromising on space, function, interaction, flexibility and light.

The design achieved this by ensuring that every space was carefully thought out, planned and attributed to a specific role.

At one end of the kitchen island, the concrete countertop meets the floor, at the other end it flows down the step to meet the concrete floor of the living room.

At the other end of the kitchen, pops of pastel add some color to the wooden dining set.

The designer brought the soft pink from the bedside table lamps into the bathroom with the use of colored tiles.
