House in Misano Adriatico Pairs Warm Wood With Cool Stone Surfaces

Hira Transforms a House with Lush Materials and Quiet Rituals

Hira unfolds in India as a layered house by Fulcrum Studio, paired with an adjoining office that extends the narrative beyond domestic life. The residence moves between introspection and conviviality, where concrete, marble, metal, and heirloom textiles pull against one another.

It reads as a measured reply to its setting, quiet in posture yet exacting in intent.

The design focuses on preserving the building’s original 1719 structure, using rough stone masonry and lime plaster alongside exposed concrete for new structural elements. Old timber cladding and roof beams are repurposed as floorboards, wall cladding, window, and door frames, maintaining the house’s historical character and blending it with modern additions.

Modern home with sleek architectural design, open glass walls, and an inviting pool.

Sydney architect David Parsons has breathed new life into a Californian Classic bungalow in the leafy suburb of Rosebery, transforming it into a sun-drenched sanctuary that celebrates seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Balancing heritage and height restrictions with the need for ample sunlight was a key challenge, but the meticulous design process, aided by 3D modelling, resulted in a solution that met all requirements.
