Reicht das schon um die Küche als „öko“ zu betiteln? Nicht ganz: Verständlicherweise ist es ein wichtiger Aspekt nur natürliche Materialien auszuwählen und auf Plattenwerkstoffe wie Spanplatte oder MDF zu verzichten, ebenso wichtig ist es einen Blick dafür zu entwickeln wo das Material herkommt. Denn Holz das von Plantagen kommt für die der naturbelassene Wald weichen musste haben in einer nachhaltigen Küche nichts zu suchen. Obwohl wir bei der Materialauswahl schon sehr sorgfältig auf die Qualität und Herkunft achten, mussten wir bei diesem Projekt noch genauer hinschauen. Die Korpen der Küche bestehen aus zertifizierter Tischlerplatte, ein Plattenwerkstoff bestehend aus aneinander geleimten Holzriegeln die mit einem Deckfurnier abgesperrt werden. Die Schubkästen bauten wir aus heimischer Eiche und für die Rahmenkonstruktion der Fronten wurde heimische Buche genutzt. Die Arbeitsplatte aus Grauwacke bezogen wir von der Firma Quirrenbach, ein ortsansässiges Unternehmen deren Steinbruch in Lindlar liegt, etwa 30 km von Köln entfernt.

Medium sized midcentury l-shaped enclosed kitchen in Paris with a built-in sink, white cabinets, laminate countertops, grey splashback, metro tiled splashback, stainless steel appliances, ceramic flooring, no island and black floors.

A baby’s nursery designed to be gender neutral and adaptable to the changing needs of a growing child. The bold yellows in the rug and tiled fireplace provide a strong graphic contrast to the pretty pale blues, pinks and greens, while mid-century teak pops pleasingly against the blue. Vintage French educational posters in the perfect palette are framed on the walls.

Feature wall tells a special story and gives softness and more mystery to the F&B 'Off Black' colour painted walls. Olive green velvet sofa is a Queen in this room. Gold and crystal elements, perfect American walnut TV stand and featured fireplace looks amazing together, giving that Chick vibe of contemporary-midcentury look.

We fitted the engineered herringbone parquet continuously all throughout the ground floor. Thus we achieved an overwhelming surface of parquet. And the large space became even larger. For the fireplace our recommendation was a seamless frame built into the parquet floor. We were glad that this option was chosen as the fireplace became a focal point and actually enriched the beauty of this aged parquet. More details here -> http://goo.gl/LlKEA5 The stairs were strengthened from above as well from under to eliminate all the present and potential squeaks. The oak engineered boards for risers and treads were bespoke finished in situ with Osmo Polyx Oil. We selected wide boards of 240mm to cover the entire width of the tread. This also allowed us to use minimal, reduced sized, nosing trims thus emphasising the oak boards. Each step was individually crafted according to the stair structure to achieve a uniform and symmetrical look. The upstairs landing was beautifully connected with the stairs by installing wide boards as well with the same finish. On the ground floor we had to replace the skirting compared to the landing where the existing skirting was undercut. We especially crafted a coffee table from the same materials as the parquet floor and stairs. After this the whole project took a new meaning. Let us know if you like this. We were delighted!
