A welcoming first impression
The brief
A young family wanted a home that felt quiet after long, busy days. The pre-war apartment had generous light but a fragmented plan, and storage had been an afterthought for decades.
Natural materials and considered detail
Furniture chosen for form and function
Light, texture, and proportion in balance
The idea
We opened the plan around a single oak spine that holds storage, shelving, and a reading bench. Walls were washed in a soft mineral plaster, and every finish was chosen to feel warm under both morning and evening light.
The result
The home now moves easily from breakfast to bedtime. Rooms feel open without feeling empty, and the materials have already begun to soften with daily use.
