Unlocking Quiet Luxury with Big Ass Fans
Often associated with minimalism, quiet luxury is a leading trend in Australian home builds and renovations, advocating for stylish simplicity and understated sophistication. Inspired by many Scandinavian and Japanese projects, quiet luxury can be replicated throughout various parts of a space, especially those often underlooked or overcrowded.

Compared to traditional luxury design, this interior trend takes more of a subtle and refined approach to opulence, focusing on quality and timeless pieces. Annie Street by Shaun Lockyer Architects utilises quality features, such as the Haiku ceiling fan by Big Ass Fans through the deliberate use of matte black throughout the space, balanced by its softer neutral pallet, off-form concrete and timber. Working closely with Matt Napper and Solido Builders, Shaun Lockyer Architects have seamlessly integrated indoor and outdoor materials throughout the extension project, juxtaposing the original lightweight cottage, whilst retaining its unique character and history.
