Restauration of a 70's villa, turning the basement into a relaxing area with spa and pool table and extending the living room towards the terrace.

The design has been kept light cozy and warm but having also its own character.There have been added a few suggestions to the current furniture distribution. For the living room it was chosen a chimney with a possible vertical sliding tv or just a suspended one so that the chimney becomes a part of the design and such way the living room space is bigger. Furthermore another placement of the dining table was suggested. This way the ones sitting at the table can enjoy the view toward the window and piano and it creates a little more movement space. In order to do this another placement of the kitchen door was required. Lighting is based mostly on spotlights that can be easily controlled creating a variation of environment. As for furniture famous designer brands such as Calligaris, Muuto, Benjamin & Norman Cherner, Jasper Morrison or Cappellini were carefully selected. The finishes are marble together with light oak wood for flooring. Wood panels are the key element that offer warmth to the design, balancing the coldness of marble and stone. Plants do also help creating a delightful ambient and would give tranquility when placed in the relaxing areas of the house. In the basement / ground floor we suggested a gaming room that is decorated in an modern and inspiring way. It is connected to the outdoor trough a staircase so that when friends gather for a bigger party the outdoor lounge area and summer kitchen create together with the gaming room a party area. This area is further articulated trough the wine cellar and spa.Outdoors tables and sofas are oriented such way that everyone can enjoy the view. The chimney has been replaced with a suspended fireplace in the spa. We considered it a nice element that completes the design and energy of the space because in this specific room we have water, fire,nature, stone and wood. It may not be Peter Zumthor's bath but then again like it is said in such a place every sense - visual, hearing, smell and touch plays a key role in experiencing the space.
