Architecture + Interior Design
A 1930s Dutch home reimagined for a young couple, where a sculptural kitchen anchors a bold new layout merging boutique elegance with preserved historic character at its core.
Open metal shelving with subtle Art Deco references offers a soft threshold on arrival, gently screening views and delineating the kitchen from the service zone. Function meets elegance.
Balanced contrast: light and dark, historic and contemporary, openness and intimacy. A quiet exchange leading to refined eclecticism.

The mysterious art
 of the eternal present
THE MYSTERY OF TIME LIVES IN THE SHADOWS AND SHAPES OF THE PAST, WHERE DARK TONES FRAME STORIES OF AN ERA LONG GONE. THIS DEPTH AND CONTRAST IS THE RESULT OF AN ADDITION — ONE THAT SOFTLY FINDS ITS PLACE. THE DANCE BETWEEN OLD AND NEW CREATES A REFINE DIALOGUE, A TIMESLESS SPACE WHERE BOTH BLEND INTO AN ETERNAL PRESENT, LIKE AN OLD FOREST WITH NEW GROWTH.
“The design moves from a rich historic setup at the entrance to a fresh, open dining space by the garden façade.”
Heber Mata Architects
Floor plans – The central, underused area between the living room and dining room has been transformed into the new heart of the home. By opening the central wall, a sculptural kitchen now takes center stage, marking the transition between the historic front rooms (entrance and living room) and the newer addition toward the garden (dining room). As you step inside, open metal shelving screens views while separating the kitchen from the service zone (guest wardrobe, powder room, and pantry).

As the brightest, and most open space, the dining room embodies contemporary elegant boutique freshness. A crisp, airy space designed for connection and human growth.

Each room reveals a deliberate contrast, layering tones and moods into an intimate atmosphere.
With original tiles and staircase, the entrance holds the home’s strongest historic presence. New 1930s-inspired elements silently meet a dark ceiling, layering contrast, depth, and an air of mystery before the house’s story unfolds.

Casa Vogel

Casa Vogel is a historic house from the 1930s in the Netherlands, reimagined for a young couple who wanted a home that combines the charm of its past with the lifestyle of the 21st century. Many houses from this era have lost their characteristic details over successive remodels, but the owners valued the remaining historic elements and sought to preserve them while creating an open, social, and flexible family environment. The design embraces a boutique residential style, allowing a refined and curated dialogue between history and contemporary life. The entrance sets the tone for the house: the original staircase remains, its sculptural form drawing the eye upward, while the historic floor tiles in characteristic turquoise guide visitors deeper into the home. Carefully selected furniture, layered textures, and subtle lighting create a refined foyer that balances historical charm with contemporary elegance. This space acts as an exciting and mysterious prelude to the home’s central transformation.

The central transformation anchors the home in a bold and sculptural kitchen. By removing the central wall that separated the old dining room from the small, dark kitchen, the space now opens into a dynamic hub that connects the front and back of the house. The kitchen becomes the heart of the home, a frontal masterpiece with a striking island that welcomes family and friends for cooking, conversation, and shared moments.

Adjacent to the kitchen, an open metal shelving with subtle Art Deco references screens the service aisle, which houses a guest wardrobe, powder room, and pantry. The shelving introduces transparency and elegance while creating a gentle separation between functional and social spaces.

At the rear of the house, the dining room occupies the new garden-facing addition. Bright, airy, and open, it embodies a fresh and contemporary elegance that contrasts with the more historic front rooms. Carefully selected artwork, including Dina Broadhurst’s “Broken Wings White,” punctuates the space, highlighting the transition from old to new and providing moments of surprise and delight for the residents and their guests

The living room, positioned in the historic front of the house, celebrates the preserved elements of the 1930s, including ceiling moldings, the original staircase, and the turquoise-toned floor tiles. Dark tones and sculptural details enhance the depth and drama of the space, allowing the historical character to stand out in dialogue with contemporary furniture and curated artworks.
Throughout Casa Vogel, materials and colors achieve harmony between history and modernity. Marble, metal, and rich contrasts of light and dark reinforce the sense of a layered and refined boutique residential interior. Every choice, from bespoke furnishings to art placement, was guided by the owners’ vision for a home that is both luxurious, historic and personal, balancing comfort, style, and social functionality. The result is a home that surpasses expectations, opening up in unexpected ways while honoring the poetry of its 1930s origins.
