Located in the Dutch city of Eindhoven, this 1970s home draws on the era’s eclectic style through a future-focused perspective. Studio &Space founder and designer was tasked with the design evolution, taking an approach centred on creating ‘authentic spaces that connects you with the things you truly care about’. Through the renovation process, an interactive client-designer rapport was established between and the fashion-forward homeowner to bring this tranquil family abode to life.

When was first introduced to the home, it had an awkward, closed-zone layout. The firm stripped back and repositioned key areas to maximise space and reflect how the family lives.

In keeping with the communal areas, the bathroom is clad in the same Frammenta tiles as the communal areas, complete with copper fixtures and mid-century-inspired soft timber joinery.
