" Four bedrooms , three bathrooms , laundry and gallery are situated on the first floor , along with an intimate courtyard and balcony spaces adjoining each bedroom ."
An open plan living , dining and kitchen space on the second floor affords panoramic views of Lake Monger , and connects to a terrace and pool area with a separate studio .
The sun filled front balcony , super architectural in its nature and providing an inner viewing to the timber battened operable shutters is graced by the welcoming relaxed vibe of Urquiola ’ s Vimini collection by Kettal ; that highlights a modern twist of traditional materials both elegant and warm .
The Vimini collection which was inspired by the Basket Chair by Danish designers Nanna Ditzel and Jørgen Ditzel from the 1950 ’ s , sits effortlessly with Urquiola ’ s latest collection of furniture , the Roll Tables and Band Armchairs for Kettal , inspired by the honest exposure of materials , a perfect marriage to the balcony area .

The monochromatic layering created by the nude Slinky Rug by CC Tapis and the vis a vis ( face to face ) Moroso Tender sofa , both designed by Patricia Urquiola , show the clever use of furniture and forms to define space in the gallery area ; which divides the master bedroom from the other areas on the first floor .
The multi directional use of the sofa allows the user to face outward toward the light filled courtyard or reflect back at the artwork on the opposing wall when using the intermediate space as a place of reflection and pause ( which also doubles as a void to ensure privacy for the master bedroom ).
