Reference projects

 

Nottinghill House 

Simone Bossi's renovation aimed to brighten a previously cramped house. A large glass door system flooded the lower floor with light, transforming it into the main living space with a muted kitchen. The VOLA KV1 mixer tap complements this modern, light-filled space with its sleek lines and potential for a finish matching the brass details, contributing to the overall sense of tranquility and timeless design.

 

West 53rd Street Apartment 

David Mitchell's Manhattan condo renovation transformed a formerly segmented space into a light-filled, open-plan haven. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the interior with sunlight, while a clever oval corridor unites distinct zones – living room, kitchen, bedroom, office – for a seamless flow. Pocket doors ensure privacy when needed and white oak flooring and Carrara marble accents create a tranquil yet modern ambiance. VOLA KV1’s minimalist design and brass finish enhance the project's focus on clean lines and high-quality materials.

 

Rotterdam Apartment 

The apartment is situated in an area of West Rotterdam, which is called Delfshaven. Ulli Heckmann's apartment was renovated to prioritize light, openness, and flexible functionality. The downstairs living area features an open-plan layout with a clever room divider. The bedrooms and the bathroom were moved upstairs for privacy and improved soundproofing. The master bedroom upstairs serves as a multi-purpose space and has built-in storage solutions to keep the area clutter-free. VOLA KV1 turned out to be the perfect fit for the apartment's modern and functional design scheme.
