Location
In an attractive dune area on the Dutch coast, a 1960 detached house has been transformed into a luxurious, modern villa with sleek design and warm elements. The new residents of the property wanted to modernise the home on both the inside and outside. As a result, the once-outdated house has been transformed into a sleekly designed luxury residence with warm, inviting elements.
Colours and materials
For the interior, the studio opted to work with light colours, with a range of natural green hues added for contrast. Dark oak veneer was used for the customised cabinetry, and subtle LED lighting was incorporated into the design.
Interior
You enter the home through a generous entrance on the lower floor, which is partially nestled in the dunes. This level includes the guest bedroom with bathroom, an office and a TV room. Because little daylight streams through the hall here, the team opted for a light floor and light wall finish.
The large wooden staircase with its mezzanine, fitted with a steel balustrade, transports you to the ground floor level, where you are drawn to by the light created by the addition of an extra skylight and a glass & steel facade in the living area.
The living room and kitchen are separated by large glass pivot doors, with a double-sided fireplace in the middle offering warmth and comfort on both sides.
The spacious, open kitchen connects to the dining table as if it were a single piece of furniture.
The elegant lines of the kitchen and the playfully hung Henge rings lend a dynamic feel to the space.
The dark, tranquil bathrooms with their indirect lighting add a theatrical touch. They are a place to seek serenity, just like the main bedroom, into which the dark ceiling extends
