For a family in Breda, we have completely renovated and modernized the entire first floor of their home. As the children grew older, the house was due for an update. For the parents, it came down to a choice between moving or renovating: they wisely opted for the latter, as the townhouse held all the potential to be revitalized.

The entire sleeping floor has been redesigned with the goal of creating a comfortable and functional living environment. There needed to be space for a spacious master bedroom with a walk-in closet, a new bathroom, a study, and a laundry room. To achieve the best layout, we developed multiple scenarios. Ultimately, a slightly smaller study proved to be the ideal solution to logically integrate the walk-in closet into the master bedroom. During the design process, we continually paid attention to spatiality and the right proportions, ensuring that every room feels pleasant in size and use.

The result is a minimalist, modern interpretation of the classic townhouse. The master bedroom exudes the ambiance of a luxurious hotel suite. The study room has a calm, neutral appearance with a central work island and a striking custom-made bookshelf that offers ample storage. The bathroom is spaciously designed with a generous walk-in shower and a double sink. In the laundry room, a custom-made unit provides a practical setup for the machines at working height, with additional space for hand wash.

In terms of sustainability, all the walls have been retrofitted with insulation, windows are equipped with HR++ glass, and the floor features a dry-build system with underfloor heating. All lighting has been replaced with energy-efficient LED lighting.
