The Line Residence

A contemporary residence where balanced proportions and quiet contrast turn everyday storage into architecture.

The Line Residence interior

Project Overview

The brief was to give a new-build house a clear spatial identity. Our response focused on proportion and integrated storage, creating a residence where every wall has a purpose and nothing feels added on.

01

The Brief

The owners bought a newly completed shell surrounded by tea gardens. The architecture was sound, but the interior lacked rhythm and offered almost no built-in storage. A collection of art, books and ceramics needed a home. The clients also wanted the ground floor to work for a home office without letting work take over family life.

02

The Concept

We introduced a sequence of full-height storage walls that define each zone without doors. A dark kitchen volume sits against pale oak and white plaster, setting up a quiet contrast that repeats through the house. Ceiling heights and openings were aligned to one grid so the rooms read as a single composition.

Materials & Details

Smoked oak, matte black laminate, micro-cement floors and fluted glass bring depth while keeping the palette tight. Linear lighting is set into shadow gaps, and handles are recessed throughout so the joinery reads as architecture.

04

The Result

The home now holds the full collection without visual clutter. The office closes away behind a sliding panel at the end of the day, and the house feels calm, ordered and personal.
