An Italian house in Arezzo

January 29, 2021

Studio Svetti Architecture projected a private house made from the fusion of white and black, the yin and yang inside an interior design project and interpreted as colours of transformation and evolution.



The choice to base the design of this house on these two antithetical colours is not simply a style exercise but is rooted in an aesthetic, symbolic and even archaic imagery. It only unconsciously resonates inside, transmitting a sense of extreme strength from which everything originates and is transformed.



The house, originally a single-family house was the subject of restructuring with the subsequent division into two property units. The subject of the division was the southern part of the building. In order to generate a residence that unfolds on three different levels, articulating the various daily phases of the family unit, the basement with service spaces and garage, the ground floor for daytime activities where there are the living room, kitchen and dining area.




The first floor is entirely dedicated to the bedrooms. The ambience is distinguished by white surfaces with a velvet touch and wooden oak floors painted with deep black satin. It is characterized by the extreme formal rigor and cleanliness of lines, creating at times natural moments of chaos through the inclusion of studio designed furniture.

Freycinet Lodge Coastal Pavilions

By G&G _ Magazine • January 21, 2020
Located in Freycinet National Park, Tasmania, the Freycinet Lodge has been in operation since the 1990’s. Having acquired the property recently, RACT Destinations was keen to upgrade. RACT sought tourism advice from Brett Torrossi, to help steer the sensitive project. Liminal was then commissioned to transform the visitor experience through the conceptualisation, design and delivery of nine pavilions tailored to celebrate the scenic qualities of the unique setting. The Pavilions provide a point of difference to the existing 60 cabins, offering a quality, contemporary, eco-sensitive, site specific experience. Liminal drew inspiration for the new Coastal Pavilions from the fluid topography of the nearby bays and layered coastal granite rock formations, while paying homage to the character of the National Park they nestle into.
