The renovation of an old holiday house into a relaxed, minimalist second home was based on the idea of a hollowed-out trunk. After preserving and restoring the existing larch exterior we continued the wooden theme inside. In order to achieve a soft feeling wooden panels were bound together in a continous manner. The main room is surrounded with a floting bench and a fireplace. To increase usability and prevent the space to be completely enveloped with wood, the floor is covered with tiles that resemble concrete. The kitchen's back splash and the wall behind the fireplace both resemble polished stone.
Basically - rough outside, gentle inside.
And on top of that we are absolutely thrilled to have won the BIG SEE AWARD for this project!
