The main brief for the renovation of this family home was to replace the existing staircase, which the clients were particularly unhappy with.
However, when we first visited the house and saw the entire interior, it became clear that the staircase would not be the only element undergoing a significant transformation.
The house already had a well-designed layout, which we decided to preserve. Of the original interior fittings, we retained only the wall tiles and sanitary fixtures in the bathrooms. These were relatively new, and we knew we could successfully integrate them into the overall design of the renovated interior.
Staircase
Our approach to designing the new staircase was to create a smooth, curved form instead of the original straight structure.
We wanted the staircase to appear as light and slender as possible, while also knowing that we did not want to use a sheet-metal construction.
You can find more information about the staircase design and its construction in our YouTube video. (Link to be added.)
Entrance Hall and Doors
The entrance hall also underwent a significant transformation. We replaced the original doors with traditional door frames with new doors featuring concealed frames.
The hinged door leading into the living room was replaced with a sliding door, also featuring a concealed frame. We applied a decorative plaster finish to all walls and door panels to achieve a visually cohesive and unified space.
Kitchen
The kitchen also underwent a major transformation, particularly in terms of its layout compared to the original developer's design.
In addition to standard kitchen appliances, we integrated a discreet ventilation slot into the tall cabinetry to provide concealed and efficient cooling.
The worktop is made of ceramic in a finish that visually connects with the original wall and floor tiles in the bathrooms and toilet.
The tall cabinetry houses two integrated fridge-freezers, a microwave, a conventional oven, a built-in pantry and dedicated storage for baking trays.
The kitchen also features an undermount sink with accessories, while the upper cabinets are equipped with the electric SERVO-DRIVE opening system.
Children's Bedrooms
We particularly enjoyed designing the children's bedrooms, each featuring its own clearly defined colour palette and distinctive furniture shapes.
Each room was designed individually to reflect the needs and personality of the child, including carefully selected accessories that complete its overall character.
Both beds incorporate built-in storage, while the remaining furniture was designed to maximise storage capacity and accommodate the children's everyday needs.
Home Office and Master Bedroom
The upper floor also accommodates the master bedroom and home office, alongside the children's bedrooms.
The home office needed to provide two workstations, one for each parent, while maximising storage for both professional and personal use.
The master bedroom offers a comfortable and calming environment for rest and sleep. It features a practical chest of drawers integrated with a dressing table, as well as a discreet built-in wardrobe.
Materials and Interior Cohesion
The overall visual simplicity of the interior is enhanced by consistent timber flooring, which runs throughout the house and continues onto the staircase.
The materials and colour palette of the bespoke furniture complement the flooring, creating a cohesive design across all rooms.
Compared to the original interior, the result is a simple, functional and refined living environment. The materials and individual design elements flow naturally from one space to another, creating a calm, harmonious atmosphere throughout the home.
