The kitchen has an open connection to the back room where the dining and playroom sits. The kitchen island of walnut with alcoves for cookbooks provides a warm homely connecting element between the different functions. The back wall of the kitchen is also exposed with the original red warm brick from 1906. Against this are two elements, both uniquely materialized. The tall fridge is brass and the low section with the sink has the same material as the kitchen island, walnut with a beige stone composite top. The sink has the same material as the composite top, making it sink into the kitchen worktop.

New Nouveau, a touch to heritage – high end renovation classical 1906 mansion in the Statenkwartier in The Hague

The design concept consists of adding functional interior elements without detracting from the classic details present. These elements meet the functional needs of the residents and give the interior the desired look and feel.

Materialization

Natural materials such as steel, copper, brass, walnut and oak, concrete stucco, various ceramic and natural stone tiles and the original red brick from 1906 were exposed. A pallet of calm Provençal colors and respect for the classic details already present complete the interior design.


Functional tour

In the entrance hall, a vibrant herringbone tile is combined with original marble paneling and a newly designed dark walnut wardrobe, which also conceals the electrical meter.
The existing vestibule has been painted in a Provencal green.

The wall in the stairwell has been completely exposed in the original red brick. The playful positioning of sconces accentuates the whimsical character of the brick wall.

Along the stairs, the wall is lined with vertical wooden slats of walnut. As a result, the doors to the basement, toilet and storage room disappear into the wall.
The three doors in the corridor have been raised to the same height as the partition doors and replaced by copper-colored steel doors with a classic design befitting the mansion.
