This is collection of pictures of a three-storey villa
redevelopment near Budapest, Hungary from Budapest-based firm Suto Interior
Architects. Completed in 2010, this 4,305 square foot (400 square meters) villa
has a modern style with features referring to the near-natural environment. The
client wished for dynamic, youthful spaces and a braver use of materials that
on the outside. The architects designed a home with strong contrasts and
astounding material combinations. The client’s absolute trust was in the
designers, as well as their opened attitude for more extreme solutions which
aided with the creative process.
Here is a description of the project from the architects:
“Our primary consideration in the design works: placing functions into 400
square meters, which could, in the most comfortable way, service the life of a
family with 2 children. The end result of this is a well habitable home in
which everything, like personal styles of the residents, forms, moods and
characters meld into one whole piece.
The central element of the house is the naturally lighted
and closely connected company of the kitchen, the dining room and the living
room. The kitchen island is a custom made concrete block. The concrete sink,
which sits on a walnut base, goes on and continues as a big floating table. The
coldness of this material is softened by Ligne Roset Papillon chairs and
Foscarini Caboche chandeliers.
The coherent walnut surfaces of the kitchen cabinet lead to
the dynamics of the space into the living room. The central area got its
characters thanks to the mature and uniquely designed and combined concrete and
walnut surfaces. The most powerful piece is the concrete, metal and glass
fireplace, which functions as a space organizer on one hand and on the other it
is a design piece and also it literally makes the space feel warm.
To the cold surfaces some playful element is added with the
brave use of cow skin motives: in a form of a carpet in the living room (Ligne
Roset. Marguerite) or on the background of the mirror in the primer bathroom
with the patchwork like leather skin wallpaper (Elitis).
The whole of this house, which is formed through the
co-operation of the designers and the client, is characterized by the use of
quality materials and furniture. Not only the interior design, but also the
furnishing is well thought over and well organized. It seems if everything was
put into its destination. Well recognized, excellent pieces of noble design
companies like Foscarini, Ligne Roset, Vitra, Magis, Tom Dixxon, Bisazza, Flos,
Moooi, Eva Solo make this great house a long lasting and valuable home.”
