The interior design of the family house has been integrated into the overall aesthetics of the initial guidelines, combining warm, timber surfaces with raw, concrete walls and ceilings. A core staircase unveils a path that leads from the basement to the third floor with timber steps and concrete surrounding walls. A wall recess creatively replaces a typical handrail, indicating the architects’ commitment to introducing subtle, minor surprises for the house’s residents to enjoy. All three floors are defined, making up individual zones, starting with the entry level that leads into the children’s rooms along with the rear cellar rooms. Here, colourful details and fun objects dominate, highlighting how home life and interior design can artfully merge with one another where the spaces within are built primarily for their residents and not only in the interests of design. On the next floor, the space is differentiated with various ceiling levels forming a geometrical mix of shapes and lights. Following the same materials and guidelines as in the rest of the house, this level houses the living room and the parents’ bedroom. On the third and last level, due to the local building ‘regulations’, the roof follows the slope of the terrain. This is not only where the architects have placed a studio and a guest room, using the slope, the whole building is immersed in an abundance of light and a sense of freedom and spaciousness.
