MODO Architecture have designed a new house in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, for their clients who wanted a home that would feel open, be filled with light, have natural elements, and be connected to the garden.

Stepping inside the home, there’s polished concrete flooring, wood cabinetry and accents, and bright white walls.

In the kitchen, a large white island creates plenty of counter space, while facing the window is a counter with stools, that allows people to relax and look outside. The kitchen also features integrated joinery with a concealed fridge.

Beside the kitchen is the dining room, which is slightly raised up onto a wood platform.

Two sets of large sliding doors are located to either side of the dining area, which can open the house into the garden. A mix of timber decking and paving steps, that double as seating, lead down to the backyard.

Back inside, and there’s the living room that features a small quiet reading area that has large windows to fill the area with natural light.

Back towards the kitchen, and there’s concrete, steel and wood stairs that lead to the upper floor of the home.

The stairs, which are minimalist in their design, transition from being open to being part of the white painted brick wall.

Upstairs, the bedroom has a modern wood accent wall with doors that open to closets.

A wood vanity in the ensuite bathroom is topped with a white counter and basin, while light colored square tiles cover the walls.
