​

Nestled within a neighbourhood where all streets are named after flowers, BS Residence is a showcase of how a typical 1927 house can be transformed into a modern home, with a unique character.

 

With great attention to light and atmosphere, a refreshed material palette breathes new life into the space. The fine blending of modern accents, minimal design and unique art, add a contemporary flair and intensify the visual interest of the home. At its core, the design philosophy of the BS Residence embraces all aspects of daily life, with a keen focus on functionality and timeless elegance.​

​​

By pushing the boundaries of perception of culturally nuanced objects, space appropriation & pragmatic needs, we have created a sanctuary of calm; a remarkable example of finesse, and a space that simply transforms a house into a home.

Upon entering, visitors are welcomed by a bespoke entry furniture piece that serves dual purposes of providing essential storage and supporting the household order. The design extends the dark accents from the -already existent- kitchen into this space, creating a modern yet cozy entry point that sets the tone for the entire home material palette. Moving into the living area, one encounters a meticulously designed TV furniture piece; a custom solution effectively decluttering cable work while shaping a relaxed corner and a white canvas to be filled with personal touches.

The kitchen was already renovated when our clients bought the property. However, the selected layout had created a functional challenge; with two split units (cooking island and washing area) stains were prominent on the natural wooden flooring. To tackle this issue, a floor treatment was implemented, while the in-between zone was finished with a special, natural and stain-free, custom sisal rug. A decision that both offers the necessary protection to the floor and elevates the looks of the cooking area.

Ascending to the first floor, one discovers the master bedroom – a space that exemplifies our commitment to optimization and personalization. Part of the floor was raised, creating two distinctive zones; one for relaxation and one for preparation. Both the bed podium and the custom wardrobe were materialized in light oak veneer, as a visual extension of the existing flooring. The final result is complimented by a soft-textured, clay-painted back wall, and lighting fixtures in contrasting dark tones, consistently continuing the material combination of the rest of the house. Off-white cotton & viscose threads, finish this discrete and elegant result, showcasing perfectly balanced proportions and a contemporary allure, tailored to our clients' lifestyle.

The wet areas have been refreshed and restyled; sculptural wellness items and unique art pieces, turn the space into a personal sanctuary for daily unwinding and rejuvenation. Several art and design elements contribute to the BS Residence's unique character, while natural finishings are used consistently, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. By pushing the boundaries of perception of culturally nuanced objects, space appropriation & pragmatic needs, we have managed to deliver a sanctuary of calm; a remarkable example of finesse, and a space that simply transformed a house into a home.
