We chose natural, noble materials in neutral, timeless tones, with raw-look solid oak parquet flooring, wenge and leather furniture by Italian designers, and large linen curtains. The dimensions of the living room were adjusted to accommodate a Japanese-inspired fireplace with a 6m-high flue.

In the TV lounge, we designed a bespoke piece of furniture in wenge and matt lacquer that frames the screen perfectly.

The Bulthaup kitchen is open plan with a large central island, and the emphasis is on light wood, stainless steel and Corian worktops.

The bathroom in the 20 m² master suite has been designed as a ‘living room’, with a large shower area, a whirlpool bath and a double washbasin unit with a white Corian top.
