HI-MACS®, used to refurbish the bathroom and kitchen, contributes to the balance between the play of the lines and the luxurious materials that predominate in the redesign of this gorgeous residence
In remodelling the old building, two challenges were set for architect Sander van Eyck, head of #design studio Cocoon Living: To reflect the experiences and memories of a family who is passionate about travel and to combine this with a cosmopolitan #design. The pieces embellishing the bathroom and kitchen – created using HI-MACS® – give the rooms the elegance and serenity sought for this refurbishment.
Many of the old buildings surrounding the canals have been renovated in recent years, turning them into elegant residences. That is the case with this project: To turn a large three-story house that needed to be refurbished after having been abandoned for several years into the home of a family who is passionate about travel.
Sander van Eyck explains that “the family asked me to take care of the whole #design – from the layout, furniture and lighting, to the customised #design of the kitchen and bathroom,” where #himacs ® plays a special key role.
Beyond the exceptional exterior surroundings, marked by the presence of Amsterdam’s iconic canals, there is also the interior with open spaces filled with light thanks to large windows and a firm commitment to the colour white. This uniformity of colour is only broken up by the dark wood floor and some notes of colour in the furniture.
The exotic and human touch comes from the decorative elements, which provide an opportunity to reflect the family’s passion for travel. So, in this home you will find Versailles Baroque-style chandeliers alongside seashells in the bathrooms for a beachy feel. Or a mirror, whose spokes recall the sun that warms the African savannah, mixed with a reproduction of a scarlet ibis, a bird indigenous to South America, that is the undisputed star of the living room thanks to its bright orange colour.
