The clients are a large family who wanted to create a home that would be their main place of residence. The most important request was to create comfortable spaces suitable for the whole family to spend time together. The other requirements were the sports area, spa and wine cellar. It is impossible to assign it to any one specific style as it contains everything from art deco to urban style.
The project was started basically from scratch as only the shape and the surface area were left from the house the clients bought. The initial building was rather unremarkable and looked like an ordinary summer house outside city. Our team spent a long time working on it as any reconstruction is always more difficult than building from new. We demolished everything apart from the bearing walls and were left with just the cubic metres of space entirely at our disposal.
Based on the features of the space and landscape we chose modern constructivism as the main style. The entire outer design of the house is built based on combining light and dark surfaces of dark wood and shutters and white painted walls.
Like the interior, the exterior of this project is built on contrasts that do not clash but seamlessly intertwine with one another creating the overall picture.
The client’s most important request was to create comfortable spaces suitable for the whole family to spend time together. One of these spaces is the kitchen that features a large dining table for the whole family as well as a ceramic island in the centre. The island can be used as a work surface for preparing light meals and snacks and also as a place to bring the family together for tea.
Every passionate wine lover aspires to owe a private wine cellar, so our clients commissioned our studio to create a wine cellar for their collection. The storage of wine is a delicate science, balancing temperature and humidity requirements with space and accessibility. We were very attentive to the temperature and humidity controls as one of the most critical considerations in every wine-cellar design.
