The Blanc project combines the colonial style with a modern open-plan layout. At the request of the client, pockets of privacy were achieved with the implementation of light-permeable partitions. Designed by Dematrix, this distinctive home holds an ethereal interior aesthetic with a fresh neutral color palette. The unique scheme conveys a positive vibe that feels alive. It communicates peace, elegance, and restful luxury. The kitchen springs to life under a bold dark green color scheme, which highlights this hub above the rest of the sociable living spaces. Contemporary furniture and 3d relief art lightly meld into pale backdrops. Lighting installations are special and interesting, adorning each room like jewelry.
A wide, paved driveway sweeps toward the grand front entry porch of this colonial-style home. The black paving stones complement stark black accents across the facade.
Potted plants smartly flank the front entryway. Exterior wall sconces light up a warm welcome.
The house contains five bedrooms, a sociable reception room, an open-plan dining room, a family living room, a study area, an open kitchen, a laundry room, and an upper living area.
The pale decor palette communicates a sense of minimalism, whilst upmarket materials convey comfort and luxury.
In the public reception room, a sputnik chandelier and a modern round coffee table place contrasting black accents into a predominantly white room palette. A wood-slatted ceiling and wood-backed display shelving units share a classic colonial aesthetic.
An assortment of decorative vases and a collection of books fill the built-in shelving units with interesting silhouettes and splashes of color. A feathered tripod floor lamp introduces a dash of whimsy to the room.
A blocked fireplace is paneled to complement the shaker-style storage cabinets that flank it. Matching wall molding makes an attractive frame around a modern gold mirror.
More textural decorative vases adorn the round coffee table in the center of the room.
Glass partitions divide the modestly proportioned reception room from a much larger, open-plan living space. The triple slide glass door grants the reception room privacy as well as airflow. In the larger, free-flowing sociable space, a playful swing seat hangs from a support beam.
