This interior renovation and house extension redefines the relationship between home and garden, creating a seamless transition that enhances both architecture and lifestyle. Conceived as a refined in-between space, the new volume acts as a connective layer — a place where interior comfort and the natural surroundings merge into an extension of the exterior as well as the interior.

The design focuses on clarity, materiality, and atmosphere. Natural stone, warm textures, and carefully curated lighting come together to evoke a sense of calm and understated luxury. Large openings frame the greenery outside, allowing daylight to flow deep into the space while maintaining a strong sense of privacy and intimacy. The result is an environment defined by rust, balance, and elegance.

More than an extension, this project introduces a polyvalent space tailored to contemporary living. It can function as a lounge, a reception area, a workspace, or a serene retreat — adapting effortlessly to the rhythm of daily life. Every detail has been considered to create a personal and immersive beleving, where architecture supports well-being and refined living.

This space is not only about expanding square meters, it is about elevating quality of life through thoughtful design, spatial harmony, and timeless high-end craftsmanship.

A complete interior design of a country villa and its adjoining building is rooted in a personal approach. From the very beginning, the lifestyle and daily occupation of the client played a central role in shaping the material palette and overall atmosphere. Every choice — from textures and finishes to custom detailing, reflects the character and way of living of the homeowner, resulting in a warm and authentic interior.

The architecture is oriented towards the garden, positioned at the heart of the property. Large openings and thoughtful sightlines ensure that the connection between inside and outside remains tangible in every space. Natural light, greenery, and seasonal changes become part of the interior experience.

The renovation of this townhouse represents a careful balance between heritage and contemporary living. Valuable existing elements were preserved and restored, allowing the character and history of the home to remain tangible throughout the transformation. Original features and valuable elements were treated with respect, forming the foundation of the renewed design.

Simultaneously, the spatial layout was redefined to create a clear and pure alignment across all living areas. Circulation was optimized, sightlines were opened up, and natural light was maximized to enhance the sense of space and coherence. The result is an interior that feels both structured and fluid, where each room connects naturally to the next.

Rethinking the ground level of a narrow home for a young household focused on one essential ambition: creating a true sense of spaciousness. The existing layout fragmented the living areas, preventing the home from feeling open and spacious. Through a strategic reconfiguration of functions, the layout was carefully rebalanced to create space, flow, and visual continuity.

The dining area connecting kitchen and the lounge. A large skylight adding architectural value to the interior while bringing in natural light in to the deeper parts of the house. The kitchen being reimagined as the central heart of the home, not only as a place to cook, but as a social anchor that brings daily life together as well as staying true to the spacious feel of the ground floor while strengthening sightlines and optimizing usability.

By simplifying material transitions, the ground floor feels significantly larger without adding square meters. The result is a cohesive, functional, and inviting living environment that maximizes both perception and performance.

This former bank has been transformed into a welcoming real estate office, where warmth and comfort take center stage. The design blends cozy seating, natural materials, and soft lighting, creating a space that invites curiosity without lingering at the window. Passersby are drawn in, discovering a place where stepping inside feels effortless and familiar. Historical features of the bank are thoughtfully preserved, harmonizing with modern workspaces and meeting areas. The result is more than an office—it’s an experience, a space where clients and staff feel at home, and where every visit is both inviting and inspiring.
