Slatted panels and natural light are the protagonists of this house in Germany

Located in the city of Stuttgart, Germany, this 120 m² house is breathtaking! Architect Alexander Fehre , who headed the project, created a cozy, functional space with a quiet design that takes on the flow of the soft curves of the space. The absence of interior walls and doors in a living room that is anything but classic – with no sofa, floor lamps or TV – reinforces the quietude that the architect sought in the project. “It should be a home to live in , child-friendly and cozy,” argues Alexander. The classic sofas in the living room have been replaced by a built-in textile window niche. Thanks to the audio system built into the sides of the textile walls, this easily makes the place a great space to switch off and relax. The white walls, the Scandinavian oak covered with the light slatted wall, combining shades of beige and brown , brought a feeling of comfort. "It's much more than interior design, more than just decorating with furniture and a bit of color," says the architect.

Here, the slatted wall – interrupted only by the oven, microwave and a contrasting green corner with sink and coffee maker – appears as a meticulously arranged, handle-free surface. The strong visual reduction creates focus on what really matters: the kitchen as a living space. In addition to a work area adjacent to the kitchen, the children’s room is a particularly charming space. This was another explicit wish of the clients, who, as already mentioned, did not envision a classic, but rather a “ children’s living room ” for everyday use. Located at the back of the room, the bookcase used as a divider echoes the rhythm of the steps leading upstairs. The children's area features a slide , a window seat niche and a tiered structure that allows for lots of creative play . In the future, with the slide and other elements removed, the area can evolve with the children , adapting to the changes and needs of each age.
