A Symphony of Space & Light: Inside Our Latest Concept in Berwick
At Barnes & Matina, we believe great design is a response to both the landscape and the lifestyle of its inhabitants. 3 McNabb St, Berwick is a prime example of this philosophy in action—a home that balances urban sophistication with natural harmony, delivering a seamless experience of contemporary living in Berwick that is both functional and timeless.
Design Philosophy in Action
Our approach to this project was rooted in a commitment to authenticity, material integrity, and urban responsiveness. The residence at 3 McNabb St embodies:
- Urbanism: Thoughtful integration into the streetscape, respecting the context of Berwick while elevating its architectural narrative.
- Materiality & Authenticity: Honest materials and expressive construction ensure durability and timeless appeal.
- Contemporary Minimalism: A restrained yet impactful aesthetic, where form follows emotion and space flows intuitively.
- Smart Planning & Sustainability: Natural light optimization, seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity, and energy-efficient solutions for modern living.
- Precision & Detailing: Every element, from the entrance to the living areas, has been meticulously designed for a cohesive experience.
Arrival Experience: A Grand Welcome
The journey begins at the entrance. At the heart of this transition is the striking helical staircase, a sculptural statement that not only connects the levels of the home but also enhances the spatial flow. Its graceful curves contrast with the home’s clean lines, creating a focal point that embodies both movement and elegance, setting the tone for the rest of the home.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Expanding the Living Experience
A hallmark of this design is its effortless integration with the outdoors. Expansive glass walls and open-plan living ensure a constant connection with the outdoor spaces, flooding interiors with natural light while providing privacy where needed. The outdoor area is further elevated by a sunken lounge, offering a cozy and immersive space for relaxation and entertaining. Above this space, a circular skylight accentuates the home’s curved design philosophy, allowing natural light to filter through and create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. This feature not only enhances the alfresco experience but also creates a distinct sense of intimacy within the open environment, seamlessly blending comfort with architectural innovation.
