Words by Wilson Hack The best architecture allows what has come before it to be seen and cared for while at the same time injecting something new, if not idealistic. Spartan at first glance, the interior of this stately apartment building, located on the iconic Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona, quickly begins to unfold as a calculated series of textures, visual artifacts and perfected aesthetic continuities. The client, a globe-trotting entrepreneur, selected Jeanne Schultz Design Studio for the remodel and requested that the space be reconditioned into a purposeful and peaceful landing pad. It was to be furnished simply using natural and sustainable materials. Schultz began by gently peeling back before adding only the essentials, resulting in a harmoniously restorative living space where darkness and light coexist and comfort reigns. The design was initially guided by the fireplace—from there a subtle injection of matching color extends up into the thick tiered molding and ceiling trim. “The most reckless patterns live here,” remarks Schultz, referring to the checkered green and white tiles, pink-Pollack-y stone and cast iron detailing. The millwork and warm wood wall panels devour the remainder of the living room, eliminating the need for unnecessary artwork. A curved living room chair by Kave Home punctuates playfully; its shape reveals its pleasant conformity to the human body and sits back, inviting rest and respite. “It’s good for all body types and sizes,” explains Schultz. The single sofa by Dareels is purposefully oversized, casual and inviting. A beige cover was added to soften the otherwise rectilinear edges. Additionally sourced from Dareels, a small yet centrally located side table anchors the space with its dark black wood texture, its visual weight on par with the larger pieces. The black bulbous free standing lamp converses directly with the antique chandelier above. Composed of individual black leather strips, it is seemingly harsh—yet its soft form is reminiscent of a spring tulip. The continuation of the color palette slips softly into the dining room where velvety green chairs sit delicately on a cascade array of pointed legs. The doors that lead out to the patio were sanded down and treated so that the original shape and form could be retained. Although the same green paint was used throughout, this set of doors speaks in darker tones alongside the acute and penetrating daylight. A few different shades of white paint were used throughout the space to add additional depth and embellish this shadowy texture. Specialty lights were added into the space to complement the existing overhead lighting. A wall sconce was added in the living room and extra lighting was placed in the kitchen. However, because of the existing barrel vaulted tile ceiling, sconces were placed on the walls rather than above to avoid penetrating the existing architecture.

This beautiful totally renovated 4 bedroom home just hit the market. The owners wanted to make sure when potential buyers walked through, they would be able to imagine themselves living here. A lot of details were incorporated into this luxury property from the steam fireplace in the primary bedroom to tiling and architecturally interesting ceilings. If you would like a tour of this property we staged in Pointe Claire South, Quebec, contact Linda Gauthier at 514-609-6721.

L'ingresso è caratterizzato dall'inserimento di una boiserie blu oltremare che ne percorre tutte le pareti perimetrali diventando da un lato portaombrelli e dall'altro il cuore pulsate della stanza: il camino. Sopra di esso vengono posizionate le opere che fanno parte della collezione privata della committenza, illuminate da un apparecchio di illuminazione a sospensione a luce diffusa caratterizzato da una struttura interna in metallo che rimanda al classico concetto di lampadario ma attualizzato mediante l'utilizzo di un rivestimento in resina "cocoon" che richiama alla mente le famose installazioni di Christo e Jeanne-Claude.

Об этом проекте №8 в нашем портфолио я буду рассказывать в несколько подходов, так как там мы сделали и лестницу и мебель, и двери, и прихожие, и арки, и кухню из массива. Поэтому начнем с лестницы. dom-buka.ru/projekt8 Лестница на заказ выполнена по основанию из бетона с обшивкой ступенями из дуба цельноламельного экстра класса без сучков и дефектов. По стене идет изогнутая пристенная панель из дуба с подсветкой ступеней лестницы. Очень любопытное кованное художественное ограждение на заказ получилось. Гнутое по периметру лестницы, с вставками из стекла. Разработано специально для заказчика по его рисункам. Также как видно на фото, на втором этаже лестницы выполнена также изогнутая баллюстрада с этим ограждением, чтобы человек не упал вниз. Цвет ступеней подбирался нашими специалистами 1 в 1 в цвет паркета. Ступени, подступенки и поручень лестницы покрыты 2 слоями дорогого итальянского паркетного лака Sayerlack. Практически 90% наших клиентов мы делаем покрытие именно этим лаком. Остальные 10% - это покрытие маслом. Выгодно отличает масло на фоне лака только стоимость, разница примерно в 2,5 раза. Из минусов масла - это то, что через 3-4 года оно изотрется на участках, где вы ходите чаще всего, и нужно снова вызывать специалиста который будет вышлифовывать лестницу и заново покрывать ее маслом, только ступени снять он уже не сможет и будет проводить все покрасочные работы у вас дома. А покрытие паркетным лаком держится долго 30-40 лет. Разницу я вам показал, ну а решение принимать уже вам :) Если вам понравилась эта лестница и вы хотите похожую, звонит +7 (999) 600-2999 или оставляйте заявку на нашем сайте dom-buka.ru и наши специалисты помогут вам с установкой шикарной лестницы в ваш дом.

Dettaglio della porta che introduce alla grande sala riunioni. Le porte in stile sono state recuperate e mantenute attraverso un'accurato restauro. Anche i pavimenti sono stati quasi del tutto mantenuti. Molto interessanti le soglie
