author's description
The designer's intention was to create in the assigned interior a functional, timeless and visually attractive architectural composition, while maintaining a clear and consistent combination of materials and colors. White and black form the background for the natural oak elements. The composition is complemented by accents of gray and bottle green of the architectural composition.
living area
The photos show a kitchen with a dining room and a living room with a staircase leading to the first floor. The living room is dominated by a monumental form made of oak plywood, which runs through two floors performing numerous functions: in the front part a base for rtv, in the back part containers - a bar and cabinets, above - a huge clock, above it a part of the balustrade of the upper level with hidden storage compartments, and even higher a suspended ceiling with backlighting and a composition of overhangs illuminating the living room.
The building's t.v. and costume columns form a kind of passageway between the entrance and the kitchen, with hidden doors to the bathroom and pantry. The kitchen is dominated by an island with a flamed stone countertop, the form of which flows seamlessly into the dining table based on a glass aquarium filled with marble pebbles. The form of the staircase is built up by solids of glued oak with a partially hidden steel structure, as well as a glass rest and balustrades.
The master bedroom with bathroom and dressing room is located on the first floor and additionally has a large viewing terrace.
The bed levitates thanks to a steel structure attached to the ceiling. Behind it extends a huge closet that serves as a dressing room.
A large fully open bathroom invites you into a large whirlpool tub partially built into the floor. A glass panel almost imperceptibly separates the shower area, and a multi-level sink countertop with built-in drawers can also serve as a seat. A mirrored wall opposite the entrance from the bedroom spectacularly enlarges the space.
