Layout Peculiarities

A standard initial project was supplemented with a few new rooms designed for the needs of this particular family: a wine cellar, a big terrace, a nanny’s room next to toddler rooms and a loft bed in one of the kid’s bedrooms.

Color Scheme

The color palette is based on natural hues, mostly beige and brownish. The lighting fixtures were carefully selected to arrange a relaxing and smoothing atmosphere.

Custom-Made Stuff

The entire kitchen furniture, including wooden wall panels, was custom-made. So were a fireplace, a staircase, interior doors, and bedroom closets.

Kitchen

The kitchen set was custom-made by the American architects’ drawings. It took 6 months to complete this project from a sketch to home delivery. The owners are very happy about the result.

Living Room

Living room furniture was also either purchased or custom-made in the USA. For the most part it was ordered from craftsmen of Indian reservations – such an unusual choice is explained by the desire to obtain an absolutely individualized style.

Walls

Wooden walls are coated with a few layers of paint to gain the patina effect. Stone walls in the hallway, staircase and wine cellar were painted by two professional artists.

Flooring

On the first floor the flooring is made from manually aged vintage chestnut, on the second floor it’s oak.

Doors

All interior doors in this house were hand-made from mahogany.
