Alexandra Buchanan Architecture have designed a modern house in Brisbane, Australia, for a family transitioning from young children to one looking to support the growing independence of young adults.
The exterior of the black house features a wood slat element that provides privacy for the home owners and visual interest for the residential street it sits on.

Around the corner from the living room is the kitchen, that also opens to the backyard. In the kitchen, black cabinets have been combined with wood elements and white countertops.

Wood touches have been used throughout the house to warm up the interior, like in the dining room.

In the master bathroom, a pony wall creates a divide between the two sides of the vanity, while the built-in bathtub sits below the window.
