Our unique and one-of-a-kind approach to interior design, which focuses on designing based on clients' inner feelings, always leads us to push our boundaries and expand our creativity to create a design that satisfies our clients' needs. In this project, each part of the house is designed to evoke or balance different feelings and emotions using colors, materials, shapes, and more. Our aim was to elevate the current style of the house, while ensuring it remains in harmony with the architecture of the house and the design style of the neighborhood. We believe the exteriors and interior should complement each other to achieve a cohesive overall feel.
For the Master bedroom, our goal was to create a soothing and cozy feelings in the space. To achieve this, we incorporated high pile rugs and hand painted wallpaper, carefully chosen to set the mood and offer both visual and physical warmth to the room. We installed Japanese cherry blossoms wallpaper in a way that gives the impression they are growing from between the ceiling beams. This not only allowed us to preserve the beams but also utilized them as an element of design, adding a touch of natural beauty to the overall aesthetic.
The entrance to the house should resemble an exhilarating movie teaser, enticing visitors with a taste of what lies ahead while preserving the element of surprise. Reflecting the warmth of its culture, the entryway embodies the owners' passion for horse riding and athleticism, setting the tone for the welcoming atmosphere within.
The kitchen has always been the heart of the house throughout history. In the past, it served as a place where families would gather to eat, bathe, get warm, and wash their laundry, as kitchens were the primary source of heat in homes. Nowadays, even though it's not the sole source of heat, the kitchen still holds its place as the heart of the house, where families gather. For this kitchen, we wanted to create a space where the family can spend time together and enjoy each other's company. To achieve this, we incorporated beautiful Paonazzo marble and black cabinets. The Paonazzo marble adds a touch of elegance and luxury to the kitchen, while the black cabinets ground the space and provide a resting place for the eyes, complementing the mesmerizing countertops. The combination of these elements not only enhances the kitchen's aesthetics but also fosters a warm and inviting atmosphere for family gatherings and shared moments.
For the master shower, we aimed to create the ultimate spa feel within the Mediterranean contemporary style that resonates throughout the rest of the house. To achieve this, we meticulously tiled the entire arch with Moroccan handmade tiles, infusing warmth and tactility while maintaining the clean, refreshing ambiance of a spa
In this bar, we aimed to create a calming and soothing space for families to gather after a long working day, allowing them to relax and enjoy a drink together. To achieve this, we used dark gray Roman clay for the walls, which helps balance emotions and feelings. Additionally, we incorporated a green moss wall, providing a beautiful and rich moss green view that allows the mind and body to relax while looking at it. For a touch of vibrancy and fun, neon lights can be turned on, enhancing the bar's ambiance and providing the ultimate bar experience.
I always believed that the powder bath is a place where guests should feel good about themselves, and I believe we were able to capture this essence perfectly in this powder Bathroom. The mixture of roman clay's visual texture and marble is a match made in heaven.
