The Vaucluse Residence concept by Studio Brent Lee is inspired by a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor. The design achieves this by incorporating floor-to-ceiling wooden sliding doors that recess into the wall while opening up the adjacent spaces as one. Off-white lime slurry brick walls cover the exterior walls and where there are large openings they continue indoors to further enhance the blurred indoor-outdoor atmosphere.
The house has a subtle palette that plays with numerous textures ranging from travertine, lime plaster, oak, linen, and lime slurry brick with accents of darkened aged brass and green plant life. Monolithic forms shift throughout the interior spaces breaking up the spaces while changing ceiling heights and balancing between an open-plan and segregated layout.
