Modern Architecture of Amalfi Residence by BGD Architects

Entry toward moden architecture design of of Amalfi Residence is via a recycled timber colonnade that runs along the east boundary adjoining the park. It is here that the connection to the water becomes evident as a 25m lap pool forms a secure edge to the boundary, acting as a moat between public and private spaces. How wonderful insidearchitecture design home volumes quickly expand from single to double storey at its centre to allow natural light to filter throughout. Timber lined ceilings at the entry, fold up the void wall to enhance the height of this space. The cantilevered Blackbutt and off-form concrete staircase has become a feature as it enhances the open style of the residence. The flooring changes from a robust bluestone at the entry and void to a warmer Blackbutt timber in the family spaces. Exposed, structural off-form concrete elements also add warmth to the interior when balanced with clean lines and warm timber accents.
