An opening onto nature: interior design of a timber-frame house

Guillaume Da Silva Architectures Intérieurs was called in to rethink the layout of all the living areas on the first floor of this timber-frame house, set in a vast wooded plot. A large opening was created in the façade, offering an extensive view of the surrounding countryside. This façade intervention, incorporating minimalist black aluminum joinery, contrasts with the existing architecture and classic joinery already in place.

Tailor-made kitchens and open organization

The kitchen island, facing the landscape, creates a fluid link between the dining room and the living room. The marsh oak paneling covers the staircase and turns to form a partition with a concealed door, separating the dining room from the scullery. Designed for a customer with a passion for cooking, this entirely bespoke contemporary kitchen uses natural materials, in harmony with the spirit of the project. The cabinet fronts are in marsh oak, the worktops in stone, and the floor in maxi slabs imitating rough concrete.

Raw ambience and clean design in the living room

In the living room, a full wall of burnt wood cladding incorporates the fireplace, cupboards and access to the paint shop. This raw material, with its assertive style, adds a touch of brutalism to this contemporary ambience. The volume of the hood on the island frames the perspective, and the kitchen area, positioned opposite the bay window, acts as a link between the dining room and the living room. Finally, the volume of the burnt-wood fireplace rebalances the axis of the triangular living room, adding a strong materiality and visual balance to the whole.
