Project Description
The client expected to feel cozier in their picturesque villa located just outside of Prague – they aimed to replace the sofa set, add pictures on the walls, and simply feel more at home despite living already several years in their custom-built house. Yet, a very open discussion helped to reveal that the current layout in many ways does not meet the real needs of any of the household’s residents. The trust was sealed with the first layout designs and after several months of intensive cooperation, a functional and pleasant living space was created. Both reason and heart touched every corner of the villa, from the custom-made furniture, floors, tiles, handles, and switches to the last vase on the shelf. It resulted in a cozy and warm interior full of surprising details.
What initially appeared to be a simple request to make the interior cozier turned into a real transformation of every corner of the house. The heart of the ground floor is dominated by a generous bespoke piece of furniture unified by a homogenous pattern of oak veneer as it comes from a single tree selected at a public auction. You can literally go all the way around it with a morning cup of coffee or tea. On your way, you discover a lot of storage space, a kitchen unit, a living room wall, a library, or a spectacular collection of F1 models. Furthermore, not only the ground floor is complemented by massive pieces of furniture - a dining table, chests of drawers, etc., which were all created in the workshop of the court carpenter Roman Schuster.
