Farmhouse Villa
A fusion of traditional and contemporary design
What began as a simple request for a staircase design quickly evolved into a complete renovation of a historic farmhouse, blending its traditional charm with modern living spaces. Working closely with the client, our goal was to honor the historic character of the property while creating a contemporary interior that feels fresh yet timeless.
Originally, the farmhouse consisted of separate living quarters and stables. The transformation of the stable area into a multi-level living space has breathed new life into the home, with the ground floor, first floor, and attic fully redesigned. The original roof structure, supported by robust wooden columns and beams, has been preserved as a tribute to the farmhouse’s heritage.
Upon entering the farmhouse, visitors are welcomed by an impressive hall, where a central staircase rises through the heart of the house, connecting all floors. This staircase is the architectural focal point of the house, uniting the different levels with a vertical perspective that extends to the ridge of the roof.
The ground floor features an open layout where the living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly into one another. A fireplace, set upon a natural stone plinth, subtly divides the living and dining areas. The kitchen, designed as the centerpiece of the home, boasts a large island in smoked oak veneer with a grey concrete countertop. High-end appliances from Gaggenau and Miele complete this luxurious family kitchen.
Throughout the interior, light and natural materials, such as oak, are used. On the first floor, the master bedroom serves as a peaceful retreat, complete with a seating area and a private makeup space. A connecting terrace links the suite to the office, creating an intimate outdoor area.
Also located on the ground floor is a versatile multi-purpose room, offering plenty of space for storage or recreational activities, such as a pool table. The original roof structure remains visible throughout the home.
Design Features
In the dining area, the sculptural OLLE dining table takes center stage, inspired by the iconic contours of the Piet Boon KLINK side table. The soft curves of the MINNE dining chairs, with subtle Italian stitching, add a touch of elegance to the space. In the pantry, the BASE tableware collection by Serax adds a refined yet understated luxury.
Just behind the dining area, a cozy relaxation corner beckons. The Piet Boon HEIT swivel chair, paired with the HEIT ottoman and the HERO side table, creates an inviting and intimate setting, beautifully illuminated by the Maretti TRIBE floor lamp.
In the living room, the comfortable and stylish DIEKE sofa and the RAAF coffee table take center stage. The JANE swivel chair and the SHAPES vase provide the finishing touch, creating a space designed for both relaxation and socializing. Attention to detail continues in the hallway, where a MOYA pot by Domani makes a sculptural statement, adding an extra layer of texture to the otherwise sleek and minimalist aesthetic.
