The artistic technique of chiaroscuro inspired and guided the design language of Casa Chiaroscuro, as we contrasted the beauty of black and the splendour of light to create a modern, minimal and beautiful family home. The entrance and staircase are a bright, voluminous space, flooded with light from above, while expansive glass windows and sliding doors embrace views and draw light into the living areas and bedrooms. We designed bold compositions of black oak joinery to provide depth and contrast against a tonal palette in these light-filled spaces and to denote the places where the family come together. Black detailing on the glass and timber staircase leads the eye upstairs to the bedrooms and bathrooms, which are immersive and luxurious with dark materials used to create a dramatic and calming effect.

About the
Professional

We are inspired by the people we meet, and the relationships we keep.

Biasol (pronounced ‘b–are–zoul’) is a multidisciplinary design studio based in Melbourne. With a focus on the design of interior spaces, building typologies, products, and branded environments, we work collaboratively with Australian and international clients to realise spaces and experiences that merge the intricacies of design to deliver considered outcomes that engage both physically and emotionally.

Biasol was established in 2012 by Jean-Pierre Biasol whose Italian heritage and broader European educational influences nurtured a resonance and respect for the naturally diverse working processes common within European design practices. The Biasol approach draws on many complementary disciplines to create experiences that surpass expectation, harnessing intuitive, beautiful and highly engaging environments, products and brands.
