„Haussicht“ von Baufritz als konstruktive Herausforderung Design meets Baukunst Wer wirklich Neues schaffen möchte, muss ausgefahrene Wege verlassen und bereit sein, ein Wagnis einzugehen. Das war für Helmut Holl, Projektleiter und ehemaliger Geschäftsführer von Anfang an klar, und rückblickend konstatiert er: „Das Projekt Haussicht, die konsequente Verbindung von Architektur, Design, - und unseren ökologischen Wertevorstellungen war für das gesamte Team ein Abenteuer“. Das Abenteuer wurde gemeistert. Das heißt, beide Seiten – in persona Designer Alfredo Häberli und Architekt Stephan Rehm – waren offen füreinander, bereit den anderen zu verstehen und auch fremde Ideen in die eigene Denkwelt aufnehmen. „Wir wollten Grenzgänger sein, Dinge neu durchdenken und Möglichkeiten ausloten“, sagt Rehm. „Wir suchten Wege, eine neue Holzbausprache zu entwickeln, den Konstruktionen Leichtigkeit zu geben und beispielsweise die Statik spürbar zu machen“, erklärt Häberli, dem man nachsagt, beim Designen mit dem Herzen zu denken. Entstanden ist ein Gebäude, das keine Kulissenarchitektur zeigt, sondern echten, sichtbaren Holzbau. Design und Architektur fließen ineinander, was bei der neuartigen Fassade aus haushoher Vertikalverschalung („Häberli-Schalung“) ebenso deutlich wird wie bei den üppigen Glasflächen mit schlanken Holzständern dazwischen und der hinterlüfteten Hartbedachung aus Blech, die die Robustheit eines geneigten Daches mit Flachdacharchitektur verbindet. Ökologischer Holzsystembau Rein praktisch ging es auch darum, gemeinsam Lösungen für eine moderne, ökologische Holzsystembauweise zu entwickeln, die trotz standardisierten Details eine freie architektonische Gestaltung ermöglicht. Fazit: Die Ideen und Designvorgaben konnten von Baufritz bis auf Nuancen konstruktiv umgesetzt werden und fließen in die reguläre Häuserproduktion ein. Wobei es für Häberli, der üblicherweise kleinere Gegenstände wie Trinkgläser oder Sitzmöbel gestaltet ein echtes Aha-Erlebnis gab: In diesem Fall sah er seine Schöpfung erst nach dem Bau 1:1 und in voller Größe.

Interior Designer Brad McCallum Creates Two Stunning Spaces The first of these two projects features a unique basement designed for Canadian gold-medal Olympian, Ben Herbert. He and his wife wanted to create a space that offered versatility so they could not only host company in it but also display memorabilia from Herbert’s travels and career as a professional curler. Keeping the couple’s design goals in mind, interior designer Brad McCallum incorporated Eldorado Stone’s Chapel Hill Stacked stone with refined wood cabinetry. McCallum beautifully reflected the home’s close proximity to the Canadian Rocky Mountains through the addition of rough hewn stone, all the while maintaining a sense of refinement with clean lines, lustrous stainless steel fixtures, and horizontal design. The second of McCallum’s projects was to overhaul the design of a family’s wet bar and devise a way to achieve the owners’ hopes for a design that married rustic and contemporary styles together. McCallum combined opposing pastoral elements to create an unexpected harmony between the textures of stone and did so successfully. The smoothness of maple wood evoked modern characteristics accentuated by the tight joints and horizontal lines of Eldorado Stone’s Chapel Hill Stacked Stone. In both projects, McCallum created a sense of continuity with the design that paved the way for his clients’ spaces to be one-of-a-kind.

Home Bar Ideas and Designs

A home bar is one of the ultimate indulgences for a homeowner. By no means essential but all the more satisfying for that very reason. Whether your home bar ideas would be having the boys round to watch the big match in a pub-style atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon, ‘going uptown’ to sip an espresso martini in your home cocktail bar in the loft, or hoping to recreate the vibe of an intimate speakeasy in your basement, a style home bar is a treat that’s guaranteed to lift your spirits. A place where you are always guaranteed a seat.

How big should my home bar be?

The ideal style of your home bar will depend on your lifestyle and entertaining habits as well as the amount of available space. If big groups come round regularly then you should consider dedicating a part of your living room or basement to a larger seating area – complete with a bar table, bar stools and wet bar section – to keep everyone suitably comfortable and merry. If TV is essential, check if there is a wall nearby that’s a big enough to mount it on without restricting anyone’s view. A key feature of home bar ideas is the storage – gleaming wine racks and low-lit glass shelves. Make sure you can afford these little delights after you have built the basic structure. Alternatively, if space is limited, a freestanding home cocktail bar would give you somewhere to prepare cocktails that is out of the way – in the corner of your dining room or under the stairwell for instance. Also, mirrored surfaces can help to create the illusion of space. Sketch the layout of the room in which you would like to place the bar and think about where all those bottles, cans and snacks are going to go. Then speak to either a home bar specialist about your home bar ideas, or to a joiner about adapting a vintage bookcase or creating something bespoke.

What style of home bar should I choose?

Try to play off the interior decor of the surrounding area. A kitsch Manhattan-inspired home cocktail bar will look out of place in a country cottage, for example. Similarly, a long white walnut home bar would jar against a bright red contemporary kitchen. That said, contrast might be something that you accentuate, not least through the choice of flooring, which would help to make your home bar stand out. Collect home bar ideas in an Ideabook, settle upon a theme and then discuss the design with your home bar specialist or joiner. Lighting sets the mood in bars, particularly late at night, so pay special attention to placement, intensity and how you want your guests to feel. Dim underbar lighting creates a warm, intimate atmosphere, while spotlights brighten and energise.

Which home bar accessories and facilities should I include?

This really does depend on how far you are willing to go. A home bar can replicate almost everything you see in your local, from running water and refrigerated wine cabinets to draught beer pumps and bespoke lighting and a sound systems. Again, the most important thing is to work with what’s there – available space and home decor. Is that black lizard effect leather flooring really going to go? How about the turquoise splashback? Do those flowers look out of place or will they help to soften up what’s fast becoming a man cave? There are several ways to make a home bar more visually interesting without spending big on fixtures and fittings. Select furniture that’s comfortable but also sparks interest, such as salvaged chairs or a second-hand leather sofa. Add a touch of glitz and glamour through your choice of glassware, drinks trolley, ice bucket, shaker and spirit bottles if you want the home cocktail bar look. Then scatter a few curios around the bar – ornaments, lamps, artwork, photos and travel mementos are great home bar ideas to get the conversation started.
