A comprehensive interior design of three independent tourist apartments located in one building, each with an area of 80 m2. Each apartment has a living room with a kitchen and dining room, a bathroom and two bedrooms upstairs. We created the facility for guests who value serenity and relaxation in the countryside surrounded by nature. Mainly natural materials were used to produce equipment and finish the apartment: wood, stone, steel, concrete, linen and woollen fabrics.
For the needs of the Countryside Guesthouse project, Loft Kolasiński created the design of the stairs, furniture (kitchens, tables, coffee and bedside tables, benches, wardrobes, beds, libraries), steel joinery (doors, curtain rods, mirrors), textiles (bedding, curtains, bedspreads).
The project uses classic furniture, lamps and accessories designed by Sergio Saporiti, Arne Jacobsen, and Verner Panton, among others. The building was built using traditional wooden frame technology with traditional and ecological materials such as hemp concrete (hempcrete) and recycled clay bricks.
The internal clay plasters were handmade, and most of the wooden elements in the interior were recycled. All works related to hemp concrete and clay plasters application were done by the investor’s brother.
About the studio:
Studio Loft Kolasiński does both interior and industrial design. We give advice and share our knowledge when it comes to selecting furniture, accessories, finishing materials and consctruction work. We cooperate with specialists from rare and specialized industries. For our interior design projects we often use furniture that we design ourselves, that are created in our befriended carpentry shop. These are individual, bespoke projects that we created especially for the needs and stylistic preferences of our customers. In 2015, we designed our first furniture collection called ‘Public Project’ We also do unique designs of carpets, that are created in Nepal. We have a special appreciation for items made in the period between the 20’s and the 70’s. Hence, in our projects we often use unusual, vintage furniture, lighting, ceramics, prints, rugs and carpets. We purchase them in auctions and from befreinded collectors from all over Europe. When renovating furniture,we pay special attention to preserving their original character. We have often made interior designs of unique properties such as adaptations of lofts, industrial buildings or old houses.
