In Sydney’s Russell Lea suburb, local firm CplusC Architectural Workshop renovated a four-bedroom family residence to celebrate togetherness and a connection with the natural world. Throughout the dwelling, a circular motif facilitates a strong visual connection between the different spaces, both indoors and out. A large, round window nook that overlooks the backyard draws on the traditional Japanese concept of <i>shakkei</i>, in which a background landscape—or “borrowed scenery”—is incorporated into the composition of a garden.

The spiral staircase and railings are finished in Dulux Classic Hawthorn Green Gloss to match the indoor plants, green curtains, and green pendant lighting.

A dialogue between ancient and contemporary can be seen in the bedroom.

While even functional storage areas like the mudroom receive natural light, Perilla also installed 45 handmade hanging lamps by local ceramicist Lisa Wolgast throughout the house.
