[ culoare + peretii gri ]]

21 Apr

The perfect mix! The color of the walls, the architectural details, the chevron pattern wood floor, the antique mirror and fireplace, the modern chandelier, the modern table with antique style wood turned legs, the vintage style Eames chairs – this is the way I love to decorate!

Imi place griul! Dar nu cel banal, rezultat din combinatii de alb si negru! Imi place cel “colorat”! Da! exista asa ceva, atunci cand combini culorile complementare si nu numai! Este defapt o modalitate de a spune: mi-au placut prea multe culori si pentru ca nu m-am putut decide am ales sa le folosesc pe toate odata! :)

Voua asfel de culori ce impresie va lasa?

Modern New Home in Old Stone Church

Astfel de reconversi ma inspira extrem de mult! Este de admirat atat ideea cat si curajul proprietarilor. Rezultatul, va las sa il judecati singuri, dar nu ma astept la ceva mai putin decat uimire si apreciere; intr-un cuvant: Woau! :)

Judecand dupa imaginea casei/ bisericii, ceva imi spune ca proprietarii vor avea cateva batai de cap cu copii abandonati in cosuri, pe trepte, la intrare! :) Cel putin asa am invatat din cultura americana.

From the outside it appears to be just the same as any other unassuming old church, however take a look inside and this place of worship has been turned into an ultra modern family home. Based in Utrecht, this small-church renovation features a series of levels within the existing large and awe inspiring space.

The mezzanine represents a partial reversion from the building’s last design iteration, and (as the plans above show) is less intrusive than it might appear.

Underneath the upper floor mezzanine lie the bathrooms, bedrooms and a personal study, which provides the churchs inhabitants with privacy. None of these newly-created rooms, however, would be difficult to remove should anyone seek to fully restore the space at some point.

This home allows its inhabitants to bask in the classical features, such as the vaulted ceilings and old surfaces. Wooden pews and hardwood floors were kept from the original building. Where possible, original doors and stained glass were preserved, and other decorative elements were also saved.

Multumesc Daniel, ca de obicei, numai sugestii excelente! :)

Curtea din spatele casei gazduieste o rampa de skate, care este folosita atat de cei mici cat si de parinti :) . Cat de distractiv o fi sa aia asa ceva la tine in curte?!
