With the client’s vision in mind, a reorganization of the layout was carried out to include more storage solutions and create a interconnected space with more interesting and open pathways. The kitchen, conceived as the heart of the home, connects to an open storage band, providing easy access from the hallway and living room. Soft colors and the choice of materials reflect the client’s preference for brightness and a sense of spaciousness. A new opening in the kitchen and a widened door connecting to the garden flood every corner of natural light.
The central element of this ingenious organization is the central band, skillfully clad in birch, that runs through the house and culminates in an elegant peninsula in the kitchen. This birch-clad central band, featuring a designed pattern, not only adds a touch of natural warmth and authenticity to the space but also integrates cabinets and doors, allowing for the clever concealment of storage spaces. This use of wood throughout the design was employed to infuse the space with a sense of warmth and naturalness.
However, it is not the only storage resource that has been taken into account in this reform. The wide L-shaped sofa ends with an ingenious piece of wood, which not only adds an aesthetic touch, but also serves as a practical storage space. In this way, every available centimeter is used to store objects and maintain order in the house.
By combining smart storage solutions and aesthetic design, this house has been turned into a cozy, modern, and highly functional living space that meets the needs of its occupants perfectly.
The minimalist combination of wood with the pristine polished concrete floor contrasts with the more artisanal essence of the main space’s ceiling. The ceiling is crafted with wooden beams that seamlessly merge with the actual structural beams, creating a rhythmic and high-quality element that elevates the composition, adding a sense of sophistication and craftsmanship to the overall design.
In the access hallway, the ceiling is lowered to accommodate all ventilation installations, seamlessly blending practicality with the design aesthetic.
Throughout the renovation process, the beautiful pine wood floors were carefully preserved and given a fresh coat of varnish, enhancing their natural beauty and adding a touch of warmth to the entire home. The decision to maintain these original floors was not only a nod to the house’s history but also a practical choice that complemented the overall design.
The juxtaposition of the renovated ground floor with the untouched first floor creates a captivating contrast between the old and the new, seamlessly blending tradition with contemporary design elements. This thoughtful integration ensures that the entire house maintains a sense of coherence and balance.
