The living room is light-filled and welcoming, with a soft, natural palette that ties seamlessly into the kitchen and garden beyond. The bespoke oriel window is a standout feature—projecting outward to create a cosy window seat and drawing in light and views from the courtyard garden. Carefully chosen furnishings and finishes give the space warmth and texture, making it feel both contemporary and comfortable.

The Brief This project aimed to redefine the home’s functionality and atmosphere by moving away from uniform room proportions, creating a more dynamic spatial experience. The primary objectives were to maximise natural light in key areas, particularly the central staircase and kitchen, and to optimise room sizes while maintaining a cohesive flow. A crucial aspect of the brief involved navigating planning constraints to extend the kitchen space, ensuring it became more practical and inviting for family life. The Design To address the limited daylight, a full-length glass roof was installed over the expanded kitchen, flooding the space with natural light and transforming it into the heart of the home. For the central staircase, a large roof light was introduced, paired with a glass staircase, allowing sunlight to cascade down to the ground floor. The design embraced a raw yet inviting aesthetic by exposing construction details such as bricks, joists, and floorboards, adding texture and warmth to the interiors. This was further complemented by oversized, curvaceous furniture, which softened the industrial elements and enhanced the home’s inviting feel. An unexpected architectural highlight is the double-height void between the first and top floors, which adds visual drama and enhances the sense of openness. These carefully considered interventions transformed the house into a vibrant, light-filled space that meets the family’s needs while elevating its architectural character.

Ein Grundriss radikal verändert: Aus der ursprünglichen Anfrage für die Renovierung eines Bades und den Austausch des Küchenfußbodens wurde eine Komplettsanierung und Umgestaltung von zwei Apartments mit insgesamt 135 Quadratmetern. Der Kunde lebte bereits seit einigen Jahren in zwei aneinandergrenzenden Wohnungen und war mit der räumlichen Situation nicht zufrieden. Eine Säule verhinderte zudem, eine großzügig dimensionierte Küche einbauen zu können. THE INNER HOUSE erarbeitete einen Entwurf, beide Apartments zu verbinden, weitere Wände zu entfernen und allen Räumen eine neue Funktion zuzuweisen. Der neue Grundriss ermöglicht nun eine geräumige Küche mit Essbereich, ein offenes Wohnzimmer, ein Hauptschlafzimmer mit Ensuite-Bad, ein Home Office und ein Gästezimmer mit integriertem Fitnessraum, Sauna und einem weiteren Duschbad. Das Design wurde modern und wohnlich gestaltet, mit goldenem Eichenparkett, neutralen Tönen und Akzenten in Blau und Grün. Zu den Highlights gehören eine begehbare Dusche mit beheizter Sitzbank, eine kompakte Heimsauna, eine Gourmet-Küche und maßgefertigte Einbauten.

This cozy and elegant living space combines soft, romantic tones with vibrant personality. A pastel pink sofa adorned with floral and velvet throw pillows sets a gentle, inviting tone. The floral-themed wallpaper and paired wall art create a personalized and sentimental atmosphere, reinforcing a feeling of warmth and intimacy. A richly patterned Persian-style rug grounds the room with depth and cultural character, while two circular wooden coffee tables add functional layering and visual softness. Accessories like candles, books, and decorative trays enhance the space with curated charm. To the side, a tall potted plant introduces a touch of natural freshness, balancing the softness of the interiors with a vertical green accent. The nearby dining area features mint green upholstered chairs and a round wooden table, ideal for casual meals or small gatherings. Open shelving and a styled ladder add a creative and lived-in touch, offering room for books, art, or plants. The overall composition achieves a delicate balance between femininity, comfort, and expressive design—making it a perfect space for both relaxing and entertaining.
