The Brookville Earth Home is a passive solar heated, 2750 square foot house with a full basement, and a 650 square foot apartment above the garage.
The walls are made from compressed earth bricks made on site from the excavated soil. See the video (Link to the video page). The walls are insulated on the outside with 4” of foam and covered with stucco. Large windows and skylights allow the sun to warm the massive earth walls on winter days and provide heat to the building at night. A trellis shades the windows in the summer and the skylights open to provide natural ventilation. In the summer, the earth walls stay cool like a basement, reducing the need for AC.
Rainwater is collected from the roof and stored in a large underground tank for use in the home. A geothermal heat pump provides heating through a radiant floor. An energy recovery ventilation system provides continuous fresh air. Energy efficient lighting and appliances keep the electricity use low and all non toxic materials keep the indoor environment healthy. A future solar PV system will provide the electricity for the home.

The Glo European Windows A5 Series windows and doors were carefully selected for the Whitefish Residence to support the high performance and modern architectural design of the home. Triple pane glass, a larger continuous thermal break, multiple air seals, and high performance spacers all help to eliminate condensation and heat convection while providing durability to last the lifetime of the building. This higher level of efficiency will also help to keep continued utility costs low and maintain comfortable temperatures throughout the year.
Large fixed window units mulled together in the field provide sweeping views of the valley and mountains beyond. Full light exterior doors with transom windows above provide natural daylight to penetrate deep into the home. A large lift and slide door opens the living area to the exterior of the home and creates an atmosphere of spaciousness and ethereality. Modern aluminum frames with clean lines paired with stainless steel handles accent the subtle details of the architectural design. Tilt and turn windows throughout the space allow the option of natural ventilation while maintaining clear views of the picturesque landscape.

This compact four-bedroom villament spread across three floors has been designed for a family of five in the heart of Bengaluru to pair visual symmetry with easy-to-use functionality. The design concept focuses on creating a spacious and open environment, with an overarching palette of shades of white complemented with pops of colour and natural textures, paired with wood and brass accents as focal points.
A customised verdant-print wallpaper creates a warm welcome on the top half of the entrance wall, with the bottom paneling painted white. Paired with white accessories—such as the lights on the wall and the floating console table—this makes what would have otherwise been a tiny vestibule feel clutter-free with an element of freshness.
The entrance opens into the living room, which is swathed in shades of white, with hints of brass and wood for a touch of warmth and visual intrigue. A wooden swing, which faces the rest of the space, has been placed for the grandparents but can be removed to make the room feel more open when required. The furniture selection and seating options aim to provide a balance between contemporary and traditional aesthetics with a focus on creating a comfortable and inviting space for family gatherings and entertaining guests. Since this area has a double-height ceiling, a geometric-lined moulding running along the length of the entire wall, with hanging rattan lights in front of it, breaks any visual monotony here. A similar linear pattern continues across the TV console, which also allows natural light to stream between the staircase behind it.
The otherwise monochrome kitchen, which opens into the living room, displays similar pops of yellow that form a harmoniously warm contrast against the black patterned backsplash tiles. The breakfast counter creates a visual barrier between the two rooms, allowing space for a quick or casual meal when needed. The flooring from the living room continues into this area, and the shared design elements between the two rooms quietly build a striking balance and connection between modern and traditional styles.
While the clients wanted French windows running across one side of the dining room, we couldn’t make any changes to the building façade. As a nifty solution, we covered the original windows with wooden blinds (to conceal them while still allowing sunlight to stream in) and built French doors along a thin corridor in front of it. Similar to the rest of the house, a console cabinet in a niche beside the dining table provides maximization of storage here for crockery and cutlery.
The staircase along the corridor between the living and dining room leads the way up to the first floor which houses the home office, master bedroom and the daughter’s room. A niche has been carved out below the stairs to hold utilities, and odds and ends around the house.
For the couple that loves to read, the home office doubles as a library with ample storage space for their collection of books above, as well as files and work belongings below the desk. A cosy reading bay has also been built along the window. The colour palette here remains neutral, allowing a peaceful and productive work environment.
Built as a simple and tranquil space, the master bedroom has predominantly been painted in white with a hint of royal blue to create subtle focal points on the bed’s headboard, the art, and the upholstery in the seating area across the bed. Originally a space for the balcony, this cosy seating space was enclosed to open up the bedroom. Textured wallpaper panels with geometric patterns interspersed between the adjacent wall add depth to the room. The walk-in closet—fitted in an area that was previously a passage—provides ample storage while maintaining a cohesive design aesthetic with the rest of the room.
Next to it, the daughter’s room has been designed to hold multiple storage points—a necessity for any growing child who will need a slew of belongings, toys and school material over time. The furniture pieces and placement have been carefully chosen to allow her movement and play across the room through the day,
On the second floor, which opens into the terrace, the guest bedroom has been designed to echo the luxury and comfort of a hotel room, without feeling too loud or overwhelming. A burnt orange headboard lends a cosy warm charm to the space, while the parallel-line wallpaper behind it elongates the height of the wall in an otherwise low-ceilinged room.

Aranelli Design
This exquisite kitchen is a symphony of contrasting elements that come together to create a space that's at once warm, contemporary, and inviting. Embracing a chic palette of rich walnut and pristine white gloss, the kitchen embodies modernity while paying homage to the traditional.
Stepping into the room, the eye is immediately drawn to the sumptuous walnut cabinetry. These units are notable for their stunning depth of color and unique, intricate grain patterns that lend a sense of natural charm to the room. The robust walnut undertones are the embodiment of sophistication and warmth, imbuing the space with a comforting, homely aura.
Complementing the wood's organic allure, the glossy white surfaces provide a sleek, modern counterpoint. The white gloss kitchen island and countertops are crafted with meticulous precision, their surfaces reflecting light to illuminate the room and enhance its spacious feel. The high gloss finish is incredibly smooth to the touch, adding a layer of tactile luxury to the overall aesthetic.
Where the walnut provides the soul, the white gloss provides the contemporary spirit. The cabinets, outfitted in glossy white, are not only visually striking but also serve as a practical design solution, resisting stains and spills while reflecting light to make the space appear larger and brighter.
The balance between the rich walnut and the crisp white gloss is expertly maintained throughout, creating a harmonious dialogue between the two. Brushed steel hardware provides a touch of industrial chic, while state-of-the-art appliances integrate seamlessly into the design.
Accent features such as a walnut-topped island or a white gloss splashback continue this dynamic interplay, providing not just functionality, but a visual spectacle. The result is a kitchen space that is as breathtaking to behold as it is to function within.
This walnut and white gloss kitchen effortlessly blends the traditional with the contemporary, the natural with the synthetic, the comforting with the clean. It is a testament to the power of design to create spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and thoroughly practical, creating a kitchen that's not just a place for cooking, but a hub for home life.

This project inverts the typical side-return extension typology. By extending only to the rear of an end of terrace Victorian house, the side-return space becomes an external courtyard which acts as the focal point of the entire ground floor.
This project started from a Don’t Move, Improve consultation in 2017. Here, Natasja and Grant arrived with two young children, looking for more living space, without any fully formed ideas as to what this might be. Initial design exercises highlighted the courtyard option as a strong proposal. A tall flank wall to the north meant that overlooking was not an issue. The path of the sun also meant that the existing side-return space was the sunniest in the house for most of the year, benefiting from south-westerly sun, otherwise obscured to the rear garden due to the tall boundary walls. It made perfect sense to extend into the rear garden and retain the side-return as a courtyard suntrap.
The huge amount of height in the back half of the existing house was put to good use with an extensive plywood bookshelf on the north flank, with cupboards below to store toys for the children. The slim white structure of the extension was referenced in the design of the balustrades and new curved steps leading down from the formal living space at the front of the house.
The kitchen roof was designed predominantly around the concept of allowing existing views of the trees and direct sunlight through into this courtyard. Large plywood fins provide both structural support and a softening and reflecting of the light within the kitchen space. Although the roof of the kitchen is almost entirely fully glazed, the plywood feels both warm and massive, adding a comforting weight to what is otherwise a lightweight insertion.
The extension is entirely timber framed, constructed using prefabricated panels slotted together inside the existing brickwork boundary walls. This light touch approach had great environmental and cost benefits. The composition of the main courtyard elevation of the extension continued the sense of the lightweight and is inspired by minimalist Japanese architecture – also beloved of the clients, one of whom was Dutch and the other half Japanese.
Full height sliding glass doors to two sides of the courtyard were essential to provide fluidity in the flow and usability of the space, with a sliding window at worktop level in the kitchen providing a servery to the outside.
Additional work throughout the house included a refit of the master en-suite bathroom, wc, and family bathroom on the top floor. The master en-suite incorporated a deep Japanese soaking tub, and white oiled oak joinery which continued the language established on the ground floor.

Fireplace location brings back the old tradition of being in the center of the space. Kitchen features a large central island for food prep and informal dining. All cabinets constructed from recycled material and the Island top of man-made quartz. Outdoor Kitchen a few steps away. Dining Room table constructed of reclaimed eucalyptus wood provides a warm visual link to the central fireplace.
Master Suite, simply elegant, with floating nightstands and custom headboard framed with 3-D effect porcelain tile. Master Bathroom with amazing views of the mountains and tops of Saguaro cacti provided by floor-to-ceiling windows and those above the shower and mirror walls.
Powder Room’s bevel-edged porcelain tile wainscoting topped with owner-created paper mache wallcovering provide a backdrop for man-made stone vanity; an example of “visual tactility.”
Cantilevered Patio roof allows unobstructed 360-degree view looking out of the canyon, and into the Sonoran Desert. Sliding glass walls blur the distinction between inside and out, creating your special “sense of place” - a quiet evening with the sights and sounds of nature all around.

This lovely Malvern home saw a total transformation of all wet areas, including the main bathroom, ensuite, kitchen, and laundry.
A professional couple with two young children, our clients tasked us with turning their newly bought Malvern property into their dream home. The property was in great condition, but the interiors were outdated and lacked the functionality to support a young family’s busy lifestyle.
Because this was their forever home, we designed the spaces collaboratively with our clients focusing on nailing their aesthetic brief while providing them with a high level of functionality to suit their present and future needs.
Our brief:
The design needed to be child-friendly but with a sophisticated aesthetic
All materials needed to be durable and have longevity
A fresh, modern look with textures was a must
The clients love cooking, so a kitchen that was functional as well as beautiful was paramount.
The kitchen really is the central hub of this busy home, so we wanted to create a modern, bright, and welcoming space where all the family could gather and share quality time.
The first thing to go was the outdated, curved floor-to-ceiling window, which didn’t align with our client’s vision for their dream home. We replaced it with large modern bi-fold stacking doors that let natural light seep in.
We also removed an impractical external double door and replaced it with a tightly waterproofed servery bi-fold window, which our clients loved.
The existing U-shaped kitchen was impractical with only one access, which created accessibility issues. Our solution was to completely redesign the kitchen to create an L-shaped layout with a large central island and two accesses for even flow.
The table-like island was a priority in our client’s wish list because they wanted a spot where they could sit together and share meals and where the children could do homework after school. They loved the idea of sitting facing each other instead of in a line like you do in standard islands. That’s why we installed a custom-made powder-coated steel leg on the island, which looks beautiful and allows the family to sit on either side of it.
To update the room’s aesthetics, we selected high-quality and durable materials for a fresh and modern look. The sleek white cabinetry features a super matt melamine finish with anti-fingerprint technology, which is low-maintenance, easy to clean and great for when there are kids in the house.
To maximise every inch for functionality, we included smart storage solutions throughout the cabinetry, as well as a spacious pantry that can be tucked away when not in use.
To create visual intrigue and add a textured layer to the space, we juxtaposed the smooth surfaces of the cabinetry and porcelain benchtop with a textured, hand-made look tiled splashback. The splashback is easy to maintain thanks to its epoxy grout, which is waterproof and repels dirt and grime. We also included lovely natural timber handles to add an organic touch to the design.
We wanted the room to feel bright and happy, so LED downlights were evenly distributed throughout, complete with dimmers for when mood lighting was needed. We also used LED strip lighting under all overhead cabinetry and an automatic light in the pantry.
The finishing touch was the lovely hub pendant above the island, which certainly takes the room’s aesthetics to the next level.
To continue with the same modern tactile look in the laundry, we used a handmade square tile paired with led lighting to showcase the texture in the tile.
Because the space also needed to be easy to maintain (and child friendly), we used super matt melamine with anti-fingerprint technology for the cabinetry with porcelain benchtops for ultimate durability. We used large-format tiles, which are easy to maintain and create the illusion of space, perfect for this small room.
Lack of storage was solved with large floor to ceiling cupboards, which allowed us to use every inch of the room. To add a warm touch to this bright and airy space, we used circular timber handles.
For the family bathroom and the ensuite, we continued the child-friendly theme by utilising large-format tiles pair with anti-fingerprint finishes for the cabinetry.
In line with the modern aesthetic of the kitchen and laundry, we wanted to create a sophisticated space that felt unique to the home. Because we also wanted the bathrooms to feel calm and serene, we introduced curves in the design for a softer look and feel.
The circular shape theme proposed by the custom mirrors continues in the basin, large free-standing bath and natural timber handles.
The client loved the idea of using gunmetal finishes instead of the traditional chrome finish, so we selected gunmetal tapware which looks amazing paired with the custom arch mirrors.
The led lighting around the mirrors provides function and form, being a decorative feature that creates mood lighting and additional task lighting. LED downlights were also evenly distributed throughout the spaces- all with dimmers for versatility.
Drawers were the preferred method of storage, and they include concealed power points for practicality which was a critical point of our brief.

A large family period house in Balham needed a kitchen that would serve the family better and bring the house up to date with a more current feel. The existing extension provided lots of space but did not make a good use of it. The kitchen lacked flow and suffered from poor storage and practical solutions. The area on the opposite side where the dining table was did not feel attractive and difficult to change especially with the access door to the utility room.
We kept the main kitchen run on the back wall, re-designed the island bringing it closer to the hob run. The island is double width with lots of very practical drawers not just to help with kitchen storage but also providing space for books, homework materials and home admin.
Next to the st/steel American style fridge freezer there is a double larder which is also used as a breakfast cupboard so that small appliances like the toaster can be kept there.
By the entrance to the kitchen an additional storage was provided with three reduced depth & height tall units (where the fridge used to be). We closed off the utility room door (which now is accessed from hallway) to create a cozy corner for the L shape sofa and a better space for the dining table.
New porcelain wood look flooring was also laid to provide a very practical floor solution for a busy family.
- Kitchen in Dark Oak natural wood veneer
- Island and some tall units in Grey matt lacquer
- Island with floating end panels providing continuous shadow gap
- Worktop quartz White 30mm
- Splashback in matching stone

This exquisite kitchen is a symphony of contrasting elements that come together to create a space that's at once warm, contemporary, and inviting. Embracing a chic palette of rich walnut and pristine white gloss, the kitchen embodies modernity while paying homage to the traditional.
Stepping into the room, the eye is immediately drawn to the sumptuous walnut cabinetry. These units are notable for their stunning depth of color and unique, intricate grain patterns that lend a sense of natural charm to the room. The robust walnut undertones are the embodiment of sophistication and warmth, imbuing the space with a comforting, homely aura.
Complementing the wood's organic allure, the glossy white surfaces provide a sleek, modern counterpoint. The white gloss kitchen island and countertops are crafted with meticulous precision, their surfaces reflecting light to illuminate the room and enhance its spacious feel. The high gloss finish is incredibly smooth to the touch, adding a layer of tactile luxury to the overall aesthetic.
Where the walnut provides the soul, the white gloss provides the contemporary spirit. The cabinets, outfitted in glossy white, are not only visually striking but also serve as a practical design solution, resisting stains and spills while reflecting light to make the space appear larger and brighter.
The balance between the rich walnut and the crisp white gloss is expertly maintained throughout, creating a harmonious dialogue between the two. Brushed steel hardware provides a touch of industrial chic, while state-of-the-art appliances integrate seamlessly into the design.
Accent features such as a walnut-topped island or a white gloss splashback continue this dynamic interplay, providing not just functionality, but a visual spectacle. The result is a kitchen space that is as breathtaking to behold as it is to function within.
This walnut and white gloss kitchen effortlessly blends the traditional with the contemporary, the natural with the synthetic, the comforting with the clean. It is a testament to the power of design to create spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and thoroughly practical, creating a kitchen that's not just a place for cooking, but a hub for home life.

This lovely Malvern home saw a total transformation of all wet areas, including the main bathroom, ensuite, kitchen, and laundry.
A professional couple with two young children, our clients tasked us with turning their newly bought Malvern property into their dream home. The property was in great condition, but the interiors were outdated and lacked the functionality to support a young family’s busy lifestyle.
Because this was their forever home, we designed the spaces collaboratively with our clients focusing on nailing their aesthetic brief while providing them with a high level of functionality to suit their present and future needs.
Our brief:
The design needed to be child-friendly but with a sophisticated aesthetic
All materials needed to be durable and have longevity
A fresh, modern look with textures was a must
The clients love cooking, so a kitchen that was functional as well as beautiful was paramount.
The kitchen really is the central hub of this busy home, so we wanted to create a modern, bright, and welcoming space where all the family could gather and share quality time.
The first thing to go was the outdated, curved floor-to-ceiling window, which didn’t align with our client’s vision for their dream home. We replaced it with large modern bi-fold stacking doors that let natural light seep in.
We also removed an impractical external double door and replaced it with a tightly waterproofed servery bi-fold window, which our clients loved.
The existing U-shaped kitchen was impractical with only one access, which created accessibility issues. Our solution was to completely redesign the kitchen to create an L-shaped layout with a large central island and two accesses for even flow.
The table-like island was a priority in our client’s wish list because they wanted a spot where they could sit together and share meals and where the children could do homework after school. They loved the idea of sitting facing each other instead of in a line like you do in standard islands. That’s why we installed a custom-made powder-coated steel leg on the island, which looks beautiful and allows the family to sit on either side of it.
To update the room’s aesthetics, we selected high-quality and durable materials for a fresh and modern look. The sleek white cabinetry features a super matt melamine finish with anti-fingerprint technology, which is low-maintenance, easy to clean and great for when there are kids in the house.
To maximise every inch for functionality, we included smart storage solutions throughout the cabinetry, as well as a spacious pantry that can be tucked away when not in use.
To create visual intrigue and add a textured layer to the space, we juxtaposed the smooth surfaces of the cabinetry and porcelain benchtop with a textured, hand-made look tiled splashback. The splashback is easy to maintain thanks to its epoxy grout, which is waterproof and repels dirt and grime. We also included lovely natural timber handles to add an organic touch to the design.
We wanted the room to feel bright and happy, so LED downlights were evenly distributed throughout, complete with dimmers for when mood lighting was needed. We also used LED strip lighting under all overhead cabinetry and an automatic light in the pantry.
