Stop right there. Whoever said that timber isn’t one to make a sexy home space should consider checking out this divine architectural work by Bicker Design. The Yarraville House is anything but plain as it undeniably oozes with a distinct charm that is carefully carried out through the entire home. It takes resourcefulness and heaps of imagination in coming up with something elegant and visually interesting with simple raw materials and Josh and Jenna, the dynamic duo behind Bicker Design isn’t about laying low when it comes to exceeding anyone’s expectations.
If you’re a big fan of mid-century homey living structures that offers warm hospitality in every corner, hop right in as we take you on a tour of what it actually feels likes coming home for the first time over again.
The Yarraville House boasts of two things: elegance through simple earthy raw materials and the abundance of natural light that never seems to escape each space in the house. Whether it’s in the kitchen or the bedroom, this humble dwelling takes advantage of the natural resources around that inevitably adds to the warm and inviting atmosphere.
Lightly coloured timber panels are generously used throughout the construction, creating that old house vibe coated with modern eccentricities. Kitchen spaces are kept low and within reach for that cosy vibe, we all can’t get enough of. Storage efficiency is key in creating an expansive space; kitchen islands double shelving units for dining ware items for easy storage and decoration.
If Bicker Design is exceptionally good at one thing, it’s definitely their clever use of complimenting elements that simply find its way to our hearts. Their use of both soft and hard materials create a symphony of visual textures, creating depth and alternating levels that all together contribute to the visual variations of the interior.
Intimate spaces like the bedroom create a unique extension of the home, allowing such a relatively small space to feel bigger than it is with the use of classic styling techniques that simply never age. An accent wall with custom timber detailing is placed just adjacent to the bed, counters the simplicity of the pale-coated room that allows a subtle balance of dark and light materials.
Yarraville House is a mid-century home that sends out a thoughtful reminder that a space doesn’t need to be big to exude a certain amount of luxury. Sometimes it only takes is paying a little bit more attention to the tiniest details to make a truly charming home that anyone would simply love to live in.
