Susan Knof, Senior Designer and SHH interior designer for comment
The writing in general for the interior was not prescriptive about the details, but it was more about feeling. The client requested a number of classic and sophisticated gray spaces off. As the customer did not like curtains, wall coverings or finishes such as polished plaster, we had to find a way to add an element of glamor to the approach applied cool, calm and classic, so there was also space range , drama and sensual wealth.
Architecturally, the most important change in the structure of the house was the excavation of the backyard, which previously was high and disorderly and caused the ground beneath the house floors dark and unattractive. Now, a new ground floor living space opens directly into a new garden space, redesigned by landscape designer Kate Gould (Chelsea Flower Show gold medalist and twice creative partner-housing Frequently SHH s), creating the process of two vast and useful light-filled spaces. Indoor and outdoor spaces are divided only by bi-folding doors and full height are joined by the new stone floor (dark gray with a metallic coat), which extends from the underground inside the garden, the creation a strong visual connection and make the spaces seem larger.
The garden has been designed for years of use, with room for entertainment and relaxation, including an elevated wooden deck. The colors of the garden reflect the muted tones in the house and planting consists of pleached Ligustrum, Buxus coverage, Magnolia grandiflora, Chatham Ateli and color of the season. As a fireplace and large dining table outdoors combined with Dedon furniture of all kinds of weather.
The interior of the basement consists of an open kitchen and casual dining life, and a toilet, laundry and existing stairs on the ground floor of concrete. The Poggenpohl kitchen is a dining table with a 2.5 m long 'Link' by Jakob Wagner and six bright colors Arne Jacobsen chairs' Grand Prix ', along with the side boards' Ringo' platinum glazed ceramic and stools' bishop 'three in terms of ceramic white and black, all of India Mahdavi Paris.
We have introduced elements of black and white all over, in order to add a touch of glamor, high-contrast color scheme otherwise subtle and subdued.
