Settling Home | Away From Home

In this project for an expat couple, settling in and integrating into Swiss life with the purchase of a new home, our task was to create their personal family voice, style, vibe and aesthetic through the home interior. Providing them with the best solutions and options to make sure every family member’s needs, preferences and comforts were being met. This strong, vibrant, goal-oriented couple with kids needed a home filled with endless light, highlighted by contour lines of brand new black accent windows, uniquely different with finer wood feature details to give a homey feel, and very easy furniture to accommodate functionality vs. aesthetics.

Making sure that the balance of comfort vs. style was met through out every space - materials reflect earthy elements in colours and textures. Humble tones and calm themes introduced into the bedroom motive allowed for a strong accent in black lacquered wood finishes for the storage furniture units in the master suite. A seashell tone motif with travertine flooring continues throughout the en-suite bathroom interior.

For their two energetic young kids, we made sure to create a very happy, personalised atmosphere that would allow them to stay creative, inject their personality into the space. As they would grow the space would stay flexible in terms of needs of a child vs. teen over time.
