Villa Casa Luna, located in Eaglemont, a suburb of Melbourne, is a new project of Biasol Studio. Calm green landscapes smoothly pass into the interior, which was designed by designers taking into account all the principles of Feng Shui. “Through space optimization and harmonious solutions, everything in the house helps to attract the flow of energy for a peaceful and happy life,” they say.
The owners of the villa, the founders of the Sussex plumbing company, invited the studio to furnish the space for a family of six. They wanted to see the interior bright and serene, filled with natural light associated with nature, images of the moon, and the night sky. “We worked closely with the feng shui master from the early design stages to make sure the building and layout helped balance the energies of Yin and Yang and maximize the positive energy potential,” the designers explain.
The house, with strict minimalist geometric shapes, is finished with smooth stucco and textured-toned dark wood. The first floor hangs over the lower volume, shading the open terrace, and one of the sections repeats the shape of a crescent. The courtyard allows natural light to fill all spaces and connects the interior to the landscape and sky.
Spacious bedrooms and an office are located at the front of the house. They are oriented to the south and east to attract the calmer yin energy. The kitchen, dining, and living area on the ground floor and the master bedroom on the second floor are moved towards the center and back with a north and west orientation to concentrate active and dynamic Yang energy. Large windows and glass doors overlook the garden and pool. Furniture, where possible, is also positioned according to feng shui principles to optimize positive energy.
The choice of finishing materials is inspired by the moon. The designers opted for matte non-reflective surfaces such as limestone, marble, granite, and terrazzo. The color palette includes all five feng shui elements – fire, earth, metal, water, and wood. Deep, restrained hues convey the feeling of moonlight, while warm splashes of color are reminiscent of a solar eclipse.
The bathrooms have received the most attention. Some of them are finished with expressive titanium granite, others are decorated in pink tones with terrazzo. The master bathroom is one of the most interesting spaces in the home, where an abundance of natural light brings a gloomy palette to life. “With the owners of the home being the owners of Sussex, we wanted the bathrooms to make the most impact, especially the master bathroom, which has become a place of retreat, meditation and relaxation,” adds the team.
