We asked the design team at Hall & Hart some questions about the concept and design to bring the H0196 to life.
Tell me a little about the design - what did you want to create with this new design?
This Modern design is catered for the 2nd and 3rd home buyers market – we wanted to include all the features of a big family home – study, butler’s pantry, large laundry, large entertaining area; but design it within a dynamic product that can fit smaller and larger lots. We wanted the home to be edgy and full of personality for a dynamic design.
What are the key design elements of the Soho?
The key design element for the Soho is the ground floor dining, kitchen and family rooms, which all act as one room and are the key energy areas in the house. It’s a design that gives great triangularity between all 3 functions. The alfresco feeds off this area, so it gives a sense of large space for a design of only 34sq. The stairs to the first floor are on show in this area, so it’s a great opportunity to make the stairs a focal point.
What Interior Design theme did you give H0196?
What are the key features of an industrial/modern-themed home such as this version of the H0196?
The key features we wanted to show were raw products such as timber and black steel with warm concrete finishes. The windows are large with thick commercial frames. The large windows help tie in the greenery outside into the contemporary feel of the inside to ensure the design wasn’t left feeling too cold, we had fun with the furnishing, splashing colour and warmth throughout such as tanned leather, velvet pillows, sheer curtains and plants throughout to give it a homely feel.
Can the design be adaptable to other styles?
Absolutely. The design is meant to be dynamic with its floor plan. We could have easily given the home a different style and feel. The Modern facade lends itself to a modern interior design. Still, the Hamptons facade on the home could have quite easily worked as well – change the flooring to timber, include lining boards up the entrance hallway, give the large windows some colonial bars and we instantly have the same home but in a different feel.
