Villa OSICE
A spacious villa interior where we let the house speak for itself. We didn’t hide the concrete; we exposed the structure and turned certain challenges into the central theme. A project that’s years old—yet still relevant today. Exactly the kind of villa interior that couldn’t have been created without an architect—and certainly not “at the last minute.”
The concrete we didn’t hide
This house stands on a combination of two worlds. Part of it is traditionally brick-built with plaster, part is monolithic concrete. And it is precisely that we left exposed. Not as a gimmick, but as a principle.
Walls, ceilings, structural elements—everything made of reinforced concrete remained exposed. We added a troweled concrete floor, which tied the whole space together even more. The result isn’t an “industrial style,” but a clear sense of what the house is built from.
This decision isn’t made during the furnishing phase. This is the interior design of a house that takes shape the moment the structure is being planned. In this villa’s interior, concrete isn’t a decorative element. It’s the foundation upon which the entire design rests.
Kitchen and table without legs
The client had already ordered the kitchen. We didn’t replace it. We just finished it off. For the island, we designed a cantilevered dining table—without a single leg. The “levitating” tabletop is anchored to the island’s structure, which we had to reinforce so that the whole thing would work at all. This isn’t just a detail. It’s an intervention in the design. It’s precisely the moment that reveals whether the interior is designed by an architect, or whether pieces of furniture are simply placed next to one another. A detail that highlights the difference between furnishing a home and designing its interior with an architect.
A smoking room that doesn’t contaminate the house
The living room opens onto a smoking room with a wine cellar. It is separated only by a generous opening and sliding glass doors. Inside are wine shelves made of plywood and steel, a wine cellar, and seating. Nothing complicated. The essential part is hidden from view—a separate ventilation system that keeps the smoke out of the rest of the house. This is the kind of space that only makes sense when the entire house is designed as a whole. Without this solution in the design, this space simply wouldn’t work in the house.
The staircase as the main stage
We didn’t treat the staircase as a mere necessity. We made it the focal point. A massive monolithic structure, glass railings, an open space spanning two floors. A designer radiator stands on the landing—because the space can accommodate it. From the hall, you can see the arch of the upstairs closet. The detail that led the client to approach us. The house’s original architect didn’t know what to do with it. We let it protrude into the space and enclosed it in smoked glass. Sometimes there’s no need to hide a problem. It’s enough to understand it and turn it into a focal point. In this villa’s interior, it’s one of the key elements.
A bedroom with a starry sky
In contrast to the main space, the bedroom is more serene. The concrete remains, but is complemented by softer layers. The dominant feature is the light—a delicate mesh of glass crystals that breaks up the otherwise austere ceiling. The bathroom is separated by smoked glass, so it remains visually present but isn’t fully open. Behind the sinks stands a solitary stainless-steel cabinet. A detail you can only afford when you have sufficient space. Here, too, it’s clear that the interior of a house designed by an architect isn’t about the selection of elements, but about their relationships.
Wellness without a catalog
Wellness isn’t about choosing products. You can see that here. A sauna made of bleached wood, next to a concrete sink that we didn’t buy anywhere—the construction company cast it right on site. Every piece is one-of-a-kind. The shower and toilet are separated by a single sliding glass door. A simple solution that saves space and works better than two separate stalls. Exactly the kind of detail that must be created during the design phase, not added later.
This villa interior is a perfect example of what a house looks like when the interior is designed in collaboration with an architect from the very beginning. It was created simultaneously.
And that is precisely the difference between a house that just looks good—and a house that truly works. Why is a house design alone not enough? You can find out more on our blog.
