This home in the Czech Republic began as an empty space with just the central staircase installed right in the middle of the ground floor. OOOOX were hired to renovate the interior, which included revamping the layout and creating a new concept for the interior that was inspired by the homeowner’s love of Scandinavian design.
The living room’s sofa is made up of a set of cushions that sit on a white, U-shaped platform.
A monochromatic color palette of black and white pays tribute to the client’s time spent in Norway. The original ceramic ceiling remains exposed and in white, which continues to the wall color.
Instead of your average bookcase, they used a series of open and closed square components in white, black, and oak for storage.
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls separate the entrance from the main living room and kitchen, with a panel that slides to open it.
The dominant staircase is covered in an anthracite screed with a divider that is made of cotton netting.
The kitchen flows around a central, black island with white cabinets built into the exterior wall.
The main bedroom is open and airy with a bookcase that acts as a divider.
The wood floors extend halfway up the wall behind the bed acting as a headboard.
The black bathroom is left open to the bedroom and is quite the contrast next to the white and wood bedroom.

How is this a ‘Family Home’ when it only has one bedroom and it possibly the most un-child friendly place I have ever seen!?
Love the article – change the title.

Hi Martyn,
They described it as a family home, as there are children that live there. They chose not to photograph the children’s bedroom, but their bathroom is shown in the last two photos.

Very nice photos, thanks for this useful article. I choose to use glass walls to separate the living room and kitchen.
