Many of the custom-made wooden fixtures are perceived as floating – from the dressing room and bedroom with en-suite bathroom , to the boudoir with a luxurious dressing table . Plenty of storage space and many a hidden door have been invisibly built into the wall using laminated walnut . The earthy wood elements form a clear contrast to the floors : shiny bright and large-format porcelain stoneware ( with a marble look ) in the representation rooms , and high-pile velour in the private rooms . These materials offer subtle nods to the 70s , with backlit mirrors .
The spacious eat-in kitchen also has a shiplike appearance . Behind white high-gloss fronts , its dark walnut interior has been intricately designed , down to the smallest detail .
The central element of the living room is the bioethanol fireplace . Slightly elevated , set in a light marble base , it is backed by a large-format , dark porcelain stoneware wall with a marble look , which , in addition to the flames , also reflects the material aesthetics of classical modernism . The base is also the first step of the metal staircase to the upper floor , whose filigree strut railing takes on a supporting role and makes the structure appear weightless .
Once again , this project was about distilling a coherent whole from the clients ’ many ideas ; focusing their vision and guiding them in their decision-making process .
