Cremer

Although deliberately listed among our apartment projects, this was a focused intervention in a townhouse: rethinking an oversized living room poorly connected to the adjoining kitchen and enclosed entrance hall.
Our approach was to preserve the existing high-quality finishes and their sense of history. The terracotta tiles and parquet were stripped, sanded and repaired.
The second priority was to open the load-bearing wall between the kitchen and living room. The dining room beyond the kitchen required no work. Supported by a structural engineering practice, these alterations radically changed the room’s spatial axis. This was a house rather than a cramped apartment: opening the wall was one thing, but preserving the identity of each room was equally important. We therefore designed and commissioned a bespoke glazed partition to define the spaces, extended by a central island in engineered stone in white Silestone. A blue kitchen by Superfront, contrasted with cement tiles, punctuates a light-filled interior in neutral tones. The central unit linking the entrance, living room and kitchen features coloured niches that act as small display cases in marine shades.
