La vivienda está ubicada en el término municipal de Bareyo, en una zona eminentemente rural. El proyecto busca la máxima integración paisajística y medioambiental, debido a su localización y a las características de la arquitectura tradicional de la zona. A ello contribuye la decisión de desarrollar todo el programa en un único volumen rectangular, con su lado estrecho perpendicular a la pendiente del terreno, y de una única planta sobre rasante, la cual queda visualmente semienterrada, y abriendo los espacios a las orientaciones más favorables y protegiéndolos de las más duras. Además, la materialidad elegida, una base de piedra sólida, los entrepaños cubiertos con paneles de gran formato de piedra negra, y la cubierta a dos aguas, con tejas de pizarra oscura, aportan tonalidades coherentes con el lugar, reflejándose de una manera actualizada.

Les COV, c’est quoi? Les Composés Organiques Volatiles sont des substances chimiques allergisantes ou même cancérigènes émises par la plupart des produits que nous utilisons au quotidien. Ils constituent la principale source de pollution dans une habitation, puisqu’ils émanent notamment des colles, des vernis et des solvants utilisés dans l’ameublement. Pour nos clients, à la tête d’un chai qui travaille en bio, nous devions être particulièrement rigoureux et trouver des alternatives qui n’en rejettent pas. Côté assemblage, l’usage de colles étant proscrit, le solide surface de marque Krion a été soudé ou thermoformé, tandis que les pièces en bois sont tenues entre elles par des chevilles. Pour la finition, nous sommes partis sur une lasure et une laque Unikalo, toutes deux labelisées Excell + (label qui atteste de la faible émission de COV dans l’air). What are VOC ? Volatile organic compounds are allergenic chemical substances released by most products in our houses. VOC are the main pollution source in homes as they come from glues, varnishes, solvents used in furnishing. For our clients and their organic winery, we had to be careful. To put the counter together, we coudn't use glue. We welded the parts made out of Solid Surface, whereas we used dowels for the ones made out of wood. We then applied a stain and a lacquer, both labeled Excell +.

Home Bar Design Ideas with an Integrated Sink and White Splashback

A home bar can provide a spot of indulgence for one, or be a central hub you gather round when entertaining. Whether you’re thinking of planning a wine bar, outdoor bar, or just making room for a bar cart, browse these images for inspiration, and ask yourself the following questions.

Where should you position your home bar?

The most popular location for a home bar is in or near the kitchen or dining room. If you prefer entertaining outdoors, however, an outdoor bar can be a dream addition to any Aussie backyard – and imagine the luxury of swimming up to your very own pool bar! If you're building from scratch, a landscape architect can help you work out the ideal design for your space.

What type of home bar is best suited to your needs?

Home bars come in all shapes and sizes, and with an array of practicalities. Utilise an awkward corner with a cabinet bar; maximise floor space with a trunk bar, which unfolds to create a bar counter; or conveniently turn any space in your house into a bar room with a mobile bar such as a fun bar cart. If you prefer a more grandiose option, or all the amenities of a real bar, you can’t go past a built-in home bar.

What home bar functionalities do you want to include?

Decide how you will use the bar and whether you will need sinks, storage and refrigeration. Including a sink in your home bar design is a practical addition if you choose a location far from your kitchen. If you’re a wine connoisseur, you may want to include additional wine storage, whereas a mini bar fridge within the kitchen may need no extra storage at all. Home bars that will be used infrequently – perhaps an outdoor bar in the cooler months – may not need refrigeration and could suffice with large ice buckets.

What bar furniture will you need?

Seating is essential to any home bar and will impact the style of your home bar design. Bar stools, for example, come in an array of materials and styles, from traditional wooden bar stools, to resort- and industrial-style stools. Storage is another important element, so look for a liquor cabinet and wine racks. Next, if you are creating a freestanding station, you will need a bar table, which are taller and shallower than regular dining tables. Check that your stools and table height work together before you finalise any home bar designs.

How can you personalise your bar design?

Bar tools and accessories are an easy and interchangeable way to personalise your bar design. You may want to create a wine bar, tavern-style bar or retro bar, so look for wine glasses and tumblers, for instance, that will help carry this style. Coasters, bar mats or signage will help you to further achieve your desired look.
