The discreet fireplace in this Belgium home blends in with the wall-mounted television, Low Pad chair by Jasper Morrison for Cappellini sits near the fireplace, and the brass-and-steel coffee table was designed by Poorter and Holdrinet in the cozy living room.

A contemporary glass-encased fireplace in this Zermatt villa acts as a partition that divides the living lounge from the dining area.

The couple packed storage around the stairs, with cabinets underneath and shelves lining the tread.

Guest House Entry

The kitchen is marked by a variety of textures that include dark walnut and marble.

A well-organized entryway leads to a living room that opens to gardens on two sides.

The lounge is accessed via two long concrete steps. On the stair opposite, the continuous vertical balustrade timbers extend to the ceiling of the second floor to form a sculptural element that allows natural light and ventilation to flow between the levels.

The breezeway acts as a big communal dining space, while the round table for six in the kitchen is for more casual family meals.

The black slate staircase draws the eye upwards to the wooden ceiling, which took six months to restore. Dodi Moss “treated it just like an intervention on a work of art, as a testimony of and investigation into the skill with which it had been created.”

The new staircase to the bunk room also has a privacy screen made of a bookcase with storage.

Now, a walk-in shower and soaking tub are tucked under the roof line.

SHED embraced the angled corners with custom cabinetry. According to Hale, the inspiration images that the couple chose were “less American Midwest farmhouse, and more contemporary Scandinavian farmhouse,” which inspired the design team to consult Scandinavian farm layouts for the master plan.
