WHEN
March 2012
In the old part of the house, we did something extravagant with the roof of old wooden beams, we painted in yellow like the walls. We add a horizontal stripe design in sober and contrasting colors to give warmth to the space due to its great height.
The added part that had the old house, did not have the majesty of the great height of about 5 meters. As it was in very good condition, we kept that part and built a bedroom for guests with a bathroom on the top floor with a private terrace over looking the pool.
One of the most obvious design problems in the main bedroom was the adjoining wall that was at an angle, this would create a problem when we accommodate the furniture in the bedroom. Therefore we designed a large niche that framed the bed and at the same time absorbed the unevenness of the wall.
The colors in each space were carefully studied to choose the appropriate one that would coordinate with the carpet of pasta tile floors chosen. In this way we managed to design the harmony of space.
