A study in juxtaposition and introspection

Devotees of design, Madeleine Blanchfield have a particular passion for residential design. With a focus on new builds, and on occasion, large-scale renovations, each design is honed to reveal both simplicity and cohesion—imbuing each space, with warmth & joy. Set on an unassuming street in Freshwater, with no grand outlook, the design inverts the views with a more introspective perspective that reveals the beauty from within. The result is an oasis, where tropical landscape gardens, sharp architectural detail and machined materials artfully unite.

During daylight hours, the well-appointed skylights an generous proportion of the site bathes the residence in natural light. Once twilight recedes, a carefully curated lighting scape featuring wall sconces and pendants from the Fizi, Float, and Trilogy collection bring a soft diffused light, and effervescent play of light & shadow to the interior environment.

Articolo Studios has a shared sensibility with Madeleine Blanchfield; refining each design to remove the superfluous and reveal a simplicity of form that defies complicated engineering—cultivating an elevated design aesthetic of inherent beauty and timeless appeal.

‘Freshwater is a functional, family residence that does not sacrifice the beauty of its form’
