Landsdowne
An interior precedent demonstrating the textural contrast between cold board-formed concrete and warm timber corridor linings in a residential bedroom suite.
- What we like about this project
- An ornate art deco mirror mounted directly onto raw industrial concrete creates a striking stylistic clash.

- Geometry
- Asymmetrical composition framing a central timber-clad corridor flanked by board-formed concrete walls.
- Structural guess
- Load-bearing concrete walls with cast-in-situ concrete ceiling slab.
- Spatial scale
- Intimate residential bedroom scale opening into a single-person corridor.
- Lighting
- Diffused soft interior lighting with a bright daylight punch from the corridor terminus and mirror reflection.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and grounded, balancing raw monolithic concrete with intimate warm wood tones.
- Environmental context
- Residential interior with glimpses of exterior greenery through a mirror reflection and hallway end.
- Spatial experience
- Transition from an exposed concrete sleeping chamber through a warm, compressed timber corridor toward a lit staircase terminal.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal tie-rod holes punctuate vertical formwork seams, balanced by the strong axial pull of the central timber corridor.
- Style reading
- Brutalist material palette softened with warm wood and vintage furnishings
