Slick Semi-D
Homes: Born and Reincarnated
San Gwann
Completed
Finalised Jan 2010
We rehabilitated this semi-detached villa beyond recognition. It is the same house, but space has been optimised, injected with functionality and used as a canvas for materials that guarantee a supreme lifestyle.
Central to the design is the balance between the rectilinear and flowing sculptural masses. This is nowhere more evident than on the staircase where materials – timber, glass and steel – juxtapose memorably. Rigid ‘orthogonality’ runs down the core of the stairwell. But its fringes contain momentary departures from the controlled lines. Converging lines melt away the rigidity and reach a subliminal state of ease.
Such a drastic transformation required a completely bespoke design. So much so that we even custom-made the furniture. The plush bedroom sits on a maple floor and contains custom-built furniture in solid maple with a white leather trim. This is where sophistication meets repose.
