Elegant living-room and dining-room area with some Scandinavian elements. A perfect combination of color, wallpaper and natural oak wood. The color palette in blues gives a calm sensation and becomes warmer adding natural texture in the wool rugs and the pendant lamp shade, which, placed centrally, announces itself as the focal point of the room. Built-in cabinet in metal, natural oak and a touch of color, that includes the space for TV and art objects. Sofa by JNL Collection, lighting by Aromas del Campo and ArtMaker

Overview Extend off the rear, the side and into the roof working with the existing fabric to yield a higher value, super flexible home that is future proofed. The Brief Create a relaxing, inspirational home by the sea for family holidays and entertaining. Extend the property within permitted development guidance and use as much of the existing fabric as possible specifying new or low energy materials and systems wherever possible. Our Solution The proverbial bungalow on the South coast, a much-maligned house type, one rarely developed in a contemporary way but one with much to offer. We loved the idea of developing a system for overhauling, extending and refurbishing this house type that could be replicated in the local area with external cladding options and very efficient space planning. The budget was, as ever, limiting and so some specific solutions had to be found to price/spec/aesthetic conundrums. The result is a very crisp and interesting exterior, understated with a tardis like series of internal spaces. We extended at loft level UP, ground floor rear OUT, and into the garage SIDE which has enabled us to create 5/6 bedroom and flexible use spaces; a large dining; kitchen and living space; a utility/boot-room; entrance lobby; plant room/store and generous circulation. 2 bedrooms are en-suite and light pours in everywhere which gives the house a luxurious feel. We’re on the Scandi bandwagon too (for the interior) mixing timber, warm tones, homemade fixtures and lighting to create moods throughout. 2017 sees the completion of the garden with Andy Steadman Designs and entry to several competitions to promote the scheme and its approach. This project is currently the subject of lots of social media coverage and is featured in August 2017 Ideal Home magazine. We are hoping this opens the door to other beachside projects as does the builder and his team!

After the second fallout of the Delta Variant amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic in mid 2021, our team working from home, and our client in quarantine, SDA Architects conceived Japandi Home. The initial brief for the renovation of this pool house was for its interior to have an "immediate sense of serenity" that roused the feeling of being peaceful. Influenced by loneliness and angst during quarantine, SDA Architects explored themes of escapism and empathy which led to a “Japandi” style concept design – the nexus between “Scandinavian functionality” and “Japanese rustic minimalism” to invoke feelings of “art, nature and simplicity.” This merging of styles forms the perfect amalgamation of both function and form, centred on clean lines, bright spaces and light colours. Grounded by its emotional weight, poetic lyricism, and relaxed atmosphere; Japandi Home aesthetics focus on simplicity, natural elements, and comfort; minimalism that is both aesthetically pleasing yet highly functional. Japandi Home places special emphasis on sustainability through use of raw furnishings and a rejection of the one-time-use culture we have embraced for numerous decades. A plethora of natural materials, muted colours, clean lines and minimal, yet-well-curated furnishings have been employed to showcase beautiful craftsmanship – quality handmade pieces over quantitative throwaway items. A neutral colour palette compliments the soft and hard furnishings within, allowing the timeless pieces to breath and speak for themselves. These calming, tranquil and peaceful colours have been chosen so when accent colours are incorporated, they are done so in a meaningful yet subtle way. Japandi home isn’t sparse – it’s intentional. The integrated storage throughout – from the kitchen, to dining buffet, linen cupboard, window seat, entertainment unit, bed ensemble and walk-in wardrobe are key to reducing clutter and maintaining the zen-like sense of calm created by these clean lines and open spaces. The Scandinavian concept of “hygge” refers to the idea that ones home is your cosy sanctuary. Similarly, this ideology has been fused with the Japanese notion of “wabi-sabi”; the idea that there is beauty in imperfection. Hence, the marriage of these design styles is both founded on minimalism and comfort; easy-going yet sophisticated. Conversely, whilst Japanese styles can be considered “sleek” and Scandinavian, “rustic”, the richness of the Japanese neutral colour palette aids in preventing the stark, crisp palette of Scandinavian styles from feeling cold and clinical. Japandi Home’s introspective essence can ultimately be considered quite timely for the pandemic and was the quintessential lockdown project our team needed.
