‘They didn’t want a typical black, grey and white modern interior’

ANNA WEYLANDT

What were the homeowners looking for?

Anna Weylandt: Our Hamburg-based clients approached Weylandtstudio looking for a design team that could assist in realising a completely refurbished and refreshed interior – from structural changes to new finishes and a fully furnished home.

Stacey Oxley: They wanted something special – not an ordinary spatial solution but a unique interior concept that incorporated bold use of colour and a broad mix of materials for visual interest.

AW: The wow factor was crucial to them, their request for something out of the ordinary evident in their brief, and they specifically did not want a typical black, grey and white modern interior.

Take us through the layout.

AW: Entering the property, you are welcomed into an open-plan lounge and dining space, leading seamlessly out onto the outdoor patio, which incorporates a custom-designed, built-in daybed for lounging, and a dining space. The kitchen sits alongside the indoor living space, separated by a kitchen island where the previous dividing used to be.
