01 / Materials and forms

Hand-applied wall finish, green terrazzo, arches.

When designing the house, we focused on the softness of the space and the tactile quality of the surfaces. Three decisions tie the house together: the wall finish, the floor and the arched openings.

What runs through the house

Textured walls

Instead of smooth plasterboard, the walls are covered with a hand-applied microcement-style finish. This gives every room a warm, earthy feel.

Green terrazzo

The terrazzo, with its dark green base tone and larger chips, appears in every room and links the spaces.

Curved forms

The archways and arched windows soften the modern lines and frame the plants in the courtyard garden.

In the entrance hall alcove we placed a walnut sideboard with rounded corners and a stone top. Behind it you can see the hand-applied finish that covers every wall in the house.

Dark green terrazzo floor with larger chips, the base of a walnut sideboard and a wall corner with a textured finish — The same dark green terrazzo with larger chips is laid in every room, linking the spaces.

02 / Living room

Bouclé, stone and cognac leather.

The living room has a large beige bouclé sofa facing an organically shaped stone coffee table. We set the cognac-coloured mid-century leather armchair in front of the glass wall that looks onto the courtyard garden.

03 / Dining area

Dark walnut takes centre stage in the dining area.

The substantial, clean-lined walnut table is surrounded by wooden chairs upholstered in leather. Above it hangs a slim, modern brass linear pendant that contrasts with the textured walls.

04 / Kitchen and study

The walnut cabinets hide everything from view.

Floor-to-ceiling built-in walnut cabinets run along the kitchen, and the island worktop is natural stone. The study follows the same approach: a slim walnut desk and a leather office chair stand by the arched window.

05 / Bedroom

Rust, terracotta and brass.

Earth tones dominate the bedroom. The rust and terracotta bed linen, the brass reading lamps and the large textured artwork on the wall give it a warm, autumnal mood.

07 / Material selection

Terrazzo, walnut, leather, bouclé and stone.

The material palette is what unifies the house: terrazzo, warm walnut, leather, soft bouclé and cool stone recur in every room; only their proportions change.

08 / The dining area in a drawing

From sketch to visualisation.

The dining area has a dark walnut table, wooden chairs upholstered in leather and a slim, modern brass linear pendant.

Even together, the darker walnut, the green terrazzo and the warm textiles do not make the house sombre. The light, textured walls and the arched openings give them room to breathe.
