The project shows a conscious use of light as an instrument to define and enrich the space, like in the bedroom flooded with natural light coming from the lateral window or in the family space of the kitchen-dining area. Also, there's no doubt this Aussie firm loves great design and has a real talent to create elegant spaces with a cosy atmosphere.
