Behind every project, there are the clients who breathe life into it.

In this project, our protagonists are a charming family with an appreciation for good design and a pragmatic eye on the budget.  They entrusted us with the task of creating a mountain retreat that seamlessly blends affordability with a touch of scandinavian design.

Nestled in the heart of the woods,  with a terrace that gives you a front-row seat to the beauty of the wilderness, our primary mission was to bring that outdoor vibe inside with our interior design.

This house, a relic from the socialist weekend escape era, had its own tales to tell with a grand brick fireplace, a cozy sunken living room, and a hearty dose of wood. We wanted to keep those charming bits of history alive. So our task was to make this scandinavian-cozy-socialist era-forest design. Was it an easy task? Of course not, but we love the result.

Let’s start with open concept ground floor. Remember those dark planks? Well, we waved goodbye to the darkness, painted them white, and threw in a wooden beam for that extra touch of character.

Now, the brick fireplace, our true hero, went through a restoration. It’s still the crown jewel, but we decided to surround it with sleek, modern Scandinavian-style furniture. Classic meets contemporary, if you will.

For family bonding over meals, we carved out a cozy dining den. Because who needs a formal dining room when you can have intimate dinners? And the living room? It’s not just spacious; it’s practically a relaxation sanctuary.

To amp up the contrast between old-world charm and modern flair, we introduced cast iron stair rails and other details that scream, “I’m a timeless classic, but I’ve got a flair for the contemporary.” The house is now like a seasoned performer with a fresh wardrobe – embracing both its roots and the latest trends with a wink and a nod.
