Family bathroom in Brooklyn brownstone.

L’élégance par excellence Il s’agit d’une rénovation totale d’un appartement de 60m2; L’objectif ? Moderniser et revoir l’ensemble de l’organisation des pièces de cet appartement vieillot. Nos clients souhaitaient une esthétique sobre, élégante et ouvrir les espaces. Notre équipe d’architecte a ainsi travaillé sur une palette de tons neutres : noir, blanc et une touche de bois foncé pour adoucir le tout. Une conjugaison qui réussit à tous les coups ! Un des exemples les plus probants est sans aucun doute la cuisine. Véritable écrin contemporain, la cuisine @ikeafrance noire trône en maître et impose son style avec son ilot central. Les plans de travail et le plancher boisés font échos enter eux, permettant de dynamiser l’ensemble. Le salon s’ouvre avec une verrière fixe pour conserver l’aspect traversant. La verrière se divise en deux parties car nous avons du compter avec les colonnes techniques verticales de l’immeuble (qui ne peuvent donc être enlevées).

Mit besonderer Konsequenz stellt die Badgestaltung das natürliche Material als Gestaltungselement in den Fokus. So ist, neben Wand- und Bodenverkleidung auch die Waschtischablage aus Limestone (Kalkstein) gefertigt. Der Unterschrank sowie die Abdeckplatte des Waschtisches aus Balkeneiche stehen hierzu im harmonischen Dialog.

Running the marble penny round tiles throughout the shower created a separate zone from the rest of the bathroom. The existing ceiling line and careful placement of the sky light created unique forms throughout the space, which elevated the playfulness and joyous feeling we were to achieve within the design. Going with the fall of light in the space, directly into the shower cubicle, was also a factor in the placement of pale toned carrara penny rounds in the shower zone, ensuring the shower felt more generous than it truly is.

This existing three storey Victorian Villa was completely redesigned, altering the layout on every floor and adding a new basement under the house to provide a fourth floor. After under-pinning and constructing the new basement level, a new cinema room, wine room, and cloakroom was created, extending the existing staircase so that a central stairwell now extended over the four floors. On the ground floor, we refurbished the existing parquet flooring and created a ‘Club Lounge’ in one of the front bay window rooms for our clients to entertain and use for evenings and parties, a new family living room linked to the large kitchen/dining area. The original cloakroom was directly off the large entrance hall under the stairs which the client disliked, so this was moved to the basement when the staircase was extended to provide the access to the new basement. First floor was completely redesigned and changed, moving the master bedroom from one side of the house to the other, creating a new master suite with large bathroom and bay-windowed dressing room. A new lobby area was created which lead to the two children’s rooms with a feature light as this was a prominent view point from the large landing area on this floor, and finally a study room. On the second floor the existing bedroom was remodelled and a new ensuite wet-room was created in an adjoining attic space once the structural alterations to forming a new floor and subsequent roof alterations were carried out. A comprehensive FF&E package of loose furniture and custom designed built in furniture was installed, along with an AV system for the new cinema room and music integration for the Club Lounge and remaining floors also.
