Renowned Danish design agency Norm Architects has recently completed the renovation and modernization of a Village School house originally built in 1721 with respect to the old traditional building style, however completely modernized on the inside.
The interior is tailored to a busy modern-life family with three children. The flooring throughout the entire house is cast magnesite, paired with bright white walls and oak paneling that connects the material choices of the different floors and functional areas.
A spacious living kitchen finished with oak and grey stone
The bespoke kitchen by Kolon stretches from one room to another, seamlessly fitting into the architecture, while also including all functionalities necessary in a family kitchen. The kitchen is built entirely in oak with brass knobs and a great stone countertop that resembles the outdoor nature.
The large round dining table fitted with oak Wishbone chairs provides a great spot for the family to gather and have meals together. The material selection of the dining area complements the one of the kitchen design perfectly.
A modern staircase with integrated storage functionality
The innovative staircase is designed in the same oak material that has been used in the rest of the schoolhouse. Each step is made into a cabinet door underneath the staircase, providing storage for both small and bigger items.
A minimal bathroom with clay plaster walls and oak finishes
The oak finishes that can be found in the rest of the house come back in the gorgeous bathrooms as well, however, here they are combined with beautiful clay plaster walls that add a natural texture to the calming design. The choice of natural materials accentuates the organic forms that can be observed on the walls of the bathroom, creating a soft atmosphere.
Smart storage underneath the bed
Just like in the staircase, in the master bedroom, you can find a smart and custom storage module. The area underneath the bed includes oak drawers integrated into the bed frame, ideal for storing away blankets and less-used clothing.
