Australian design studio Biasol, has completed a modern house for a young family that desired a modern, minimal, and beautiful home.
When designing the house, Biasol drew inspiration from Chiaroscuro, which translates to “light dark” in Italian, and is the contrasting of light and shade to produce an artistic composition with dramatic and emotional impact. Throughout the house, the designers balanced natural light and dark surfaces to create voluminous and intimate spaces that have a calming effect.

The ground floor of the house is dedicated to the living spaces, that include the study, entertainment room, kitchen/dining/lounge, alfresco dining and a swimming pool.
In the living room, a built-in linear fireplace and a recessed television blend in to the black accent wall, which adds a rich texture to the room with black timber battens.
