Inspired by mid-century masters and their hallmarks of quality and functionality, the Barcelona 32 with Mason façade has an inherently strong character balanced by a warm and understated presence.

Behind the modern Mason façade, the design language is nostalgic, inquisitive, bold and tactile. Mid-century style manifests in black features such as hardware and lighting and an earthy paint tone that ebbs and flows in intensity in the home to add warmth.

The home’s dark and moody palette features charcoal, dark forage green, brown walnut, grey concrete and soft beige, with black and green accentuating the palette to give depth.

Minimal, yet strong features include concrete-look benchtops, distinctive walnut and deep forest green feature joinery, matte dark subway tiles and mid-century style vinyl flooring.  “This home has movement and energy, it’s not linear,” says Kat Moore Boutique Homes Project Designer.

“The kitchen really is the centre and the heart of the home, connected to the main living space with ancillary areas hidden behind.”

Hard finishes are softened by the warmth and comfort in furnishings, with detailed layering and styling helping to create and enhance the mood and theme.

 

A shag rug in subtle tones in front of the fire gives nostalgic mid-century cabin vibes, while reading corners and robust surfaces add tactility and a raw brutalism to the mood. Textures help add interest and non-dominant patterns are used sparingly in soft furnishings. The walls are a soft greige tone, with heroes of darker accents in alcoves. Wallpapers add to the mid-century theme and was used in the master suite, in charcoal with a geometric nod to mid-century shapes. “We played with wall colours in this home but it’s not overly bold,” explains Kat.

This home is cosy yet gives space to breadth, with a visual connection to outdoor greenery in every room. The living and dining is a long space, but is visually segregated by the vertical break of the fireplace chimney. “The lowline joinery that flanks each side of the fireplace connects the spaces and creates areas for engagement as well as function,” says Kat.

 

The home holds appeal for professionals, couples and families who want a little extra space and appreciate functional elements and those who like entertaining, the outdoors, reading and working from home.  The materials used in the home are also good for pets.

 

 

“We’ve created a moody retreat which could live in a secluded bushland as well as a coastal enclave,” says Kat. “It’s a home to enjoy the serenity and privacy away from the busy city life.”
