For the AMMG Architects team, working on the first project in Luxembourg was an interesting and exciting experience. Having purchased a house from one of the leading developers of the city, a married couple turned to the studio with a request to create an unusual interior that corresponds to their image, taste and reflects individuality. The customer's wife, a bright, modern lady, wanted to get a space saturated with details, colors and unusual textures; an important wish was also the lack of repeatability in the rooms of the house and a complex individual scale in each room. Before we started working, it was important to study the peculiarities of the local market – and there were quite a few of them. First, an accredited company was provided for repairs, and, according to the contract, all finishing materials had to be selected from an assortment of partner suppliers. Another unusual feature was the need to place spotlights at the construction stage of the building – due to the small height of the ceilings, it was impractical to use standard suspended ceilings, and embedded elements for technical light were laid immediately in monolithic ceilings.
A complex and composite palette of materials and shades determined the character of the interior, individual and visually rich. Many varieties of precious wood were used in the decoration – wall panels with an author's pattern are adjacent to marble panels, elegant inserts made of warm brass bring sophistication and beauty to the details; when choosing furniture, top models of European brands were chosen. So, in the master bedroom, the wall veneered with American walnut effectively sets off the fabric headboard of the Molteni bed and is complemented by an elegant sconce with a green stone finish; a vintage console from the customers' collection was placed opposite the bed, the color scheme of which formed the basis of the composition of the room. The decoration of the bed made of linen and woolen coverlet of large knitting echoes the Indian handmade carpet; the textile decoration of the bedroom is completed by curtains made of Italian ivory fabric. In the main bathroom, the pearl of the symmetrical composition is the Karol pendant pedestal in an exotic ebony veneer finish; it is complemented by a wall panel in a similar finish and separated by an elegant bend of a brass partition. The bathroom area allowed us to place an elegant chest of drawers from Medea, which we supplemented with a chair in a dark green alcantara finish.
Staircases divide the house into intermediate levels, and the living room is already visible from the front entrance. Descending a few steps, we find ourselves in a spacious open-space that combines a living room and a kitchen-dining room. Due to the height difference, the ceiling here is higher than in other rooms – more than 3.5 meters high. We emphasized the scale of the room with a classic chandelier, which the customers wanted to move from the current house. In general, the interior is saturated with vintage details – the composition around the TV is also built based on a vintage composition from Ligne Roset, vintage notes can be traced in the forms of classic chairs. In contrast with the furniture in the recreation area, an ultra–modern kitchen model from Aster was chosen - smooth facades are divided into 2 groups by materials. Along the long wall, the kitchen is decorated with burnt eucalyptus with a warm and deep texture, the protruding bar counter is decorated with satin steel with a pleasant, platinum shade. Against the background of metal, the decoration of the wall and the surface of the tabletop made of Patagonia marble looks especially impressive, as if glowing from the inside and famous for its unique pattern. We have carefully thought out not only design, but also technical solutions – lighting and curtains are controlled using a smart home system based on KNX technology, a channel air conditioning system is provided for a comfortable microclimate and allows you to hide control units behind false ceilings, leaving only stylish and unobtrusive ventilation grilles visible.
We decided to make the guest bathroom the most bright and elegant – after the noble aesthetics of the living room, it is perceived as an invigorating and refreshing cocktail. The main ingredient – the Tosca floor sink from Karol – impresses with unusual shapes and a combination of terracotta leather and smoky gray glass. The leather finish was supported by the rich brick color of the walls, finished with relief Italian mosaics; crushed black marble in white epoxy resin on the floor adds to the shocking interior. To double the effect, a mirror was placed behind the sink to the full height of the bathroom and the geometry was accentuated with the help of warm illumination hidden behind the bend of the wall. The reddish gamut continues in the guest bedroom, but here it acquires a dusty cherry shade: we used a complex color by sheathing part of the walls with coarse-grained genuine leather. This leather was also used for the bed covering, enhancing the drama with a coral–colored suede pouf; the rest of the walls are more neutral - they were decorated with fabric wallpaper in the shade of ripe wheat. Modern art on the walls adds sophistication and, being precisely matched, echoes the design of the room with characteristic lines and colors similar to the color scheme of the surroundings.
On the third, attic floor, the bathroom inspires guests with an incredible pattern of blue granite Blue Sodalite. The deep, dark indigo color seems to draw the viewer in, shimmering through white veins and reminds of the depths of space, moving from the floor to the wall in the shower. On the opposite wall, the space theme was supported by a round mirror in a silver frame and supplemented with a shell bowl shaped like an elegant dish. A small stool made of smoky red glass, when turned on, forms mysterious glare, with depth and brightness evoking either volcanic lava, or planets at the dawn of the formation of the universe. The riot of colors replaces the calm in neutral beige tones, characteristic of the design of the study and the second bedroom. A small office can be used both as a home office and as a second room in case a large company stays away – refined aesthetics, built on strict contrast, is universal and disposes to concentration no less than to a quiet rest after a friendly dinner. Everything here is built on delicate nuances: the complex fractal pattern of the wallpaper rhymes in the pattern of the silk carpet, and the textile finish of the folding sofa visually gathers all the surrounding shades. The adjacent bathroom is emphatically close to nature thanks to the subtle play of the sun's rays gliding through the room and revealing a subtle range of shades from sandy beige to earthy gray; tactile materials from polished marble on the floor to wall decorative plaster, the texture of which resembles rough travertine, also contribute to the feeling of naturalness. Genuine luxury is also provided by daylight, which, thanks to the presence of windows in all rooms of the house, penetrates everywhere and provides customers with unsurpassed comfort.
