Serein House

Residential

Brighton, Melbourne

2024

Concept study

Symmetrical pale living room with two grey sofas, oak floor and linear fireplace.

The idea

Light as the first material.

Serein House is a study in light, proportion and the small rituals of home. The concept considers an interior that feels composed without being precious, balancing open sightlines with the comfort of enclosed, human-scaled spaces.

Fictional project. Images illustrate the design direction and are not photographs of a MORA commission.

Material & atmosphere

Soft mineral tones.
Sculptural forms.

Subtle shifts in tone distinguish one space from the next. Sculptural furniture sits against quiet backgrounds; timber adds warmth to a predominantly mineral palette. The design direction leaves enough room for daily life to become part of the composition.
