This complete rebuild replaced a house that was characterized by many subdivided rooms, too many of which often sat unused. Instead, this comfortable and modern family home opts for the ease of an open concept ground floor, which ensures all available space is aesthetically and practically utilized. A focus on acoustic comfort and natural materials ensures a lived-in and relaxed feel that encompasses both family living and fuss-free entertaining.

In addition to creating a refuge in an urban environment and in times of uncertainty, this design also prioritizes the concept of “aging in place”. Subtle design details like accessibility, lowered heights for switches, storage and appliances as well as wide passage and doorways make sure this home is ready for the generational journey in the years and decades that lie ahead – without ever compromising on its luxury-level, timeless elegance.
