Can you have
past and present? “Yes! Simply, it’s past
that make present and in design world it’s the past that create room for new
ideas and source for inspiration that drives the present designs.”
[Lawrence Wangui , Senior designer at Orenz Designers an interior design firm]
For our June
post we explore a Casa Blanca Residence in Lima, Peru that brows from both
Classical and Contemporary styles of interior design.
A massive white block excavated to make room
for living spaces is seemingly the residence concept, envisioned and
implemented by Architect Martin Dulanto Sangalli. The interiors core design
scheme which is visible from outside a bright orange staircase which set a
dynamic ambiance tone.
A Contemporary design scheme includes a mix of the past and present, a touch of the personal and is, above all else, comfortable. The residence impressive bright orange staircase which is the focal point for the rooms, connect all the three levels of the building. Focal points are traits associated with Classical themes. The other items within the rooms are placed in order to enhance the look of the chosen focal point.

The modern
home offers an optimized indoor-outdoor connection and plenty of opportunities
for socializing and leisure. It has cozy seating arrangements to encourage
conversation. The couches and chairs are cushiony and covered in durable, soft
fabrics.
Residence is structured on three levels: the
basement, first floor and the upper terrace: The basement is connected with the
exterior by tall windows, which allow plenty of sunlight and cross ventilation
for every bedroom.
The social area on the interior is located in the first floor. It is incorporated by a glass closing, which allows a total integration of the living room, the dining area, and the kitchen. A central patio integrates the house, and allows a full connection on its three levels, while providing plenty of natural light and ventilation. Contemporary is all about making a space a comfort zone, not a show place but here both aspects have been achieved.
