What initially began as a proposal for a kitchen and living room gradually evolved into a full interior design project for this log house, the adjacent building and the underground spaces connecting the two residences.

We began our work when the underground concrete structure had already been completed and the two houses were under construction.

The construction system of a log house offers very little flexibility and does not allow radical changes during the building process. As a result, our project had to adapt to spaces that had previously been planned by another architectural studio.
In addition, the clients—a retired Muslim couple—asked us to develop the design in accordance with Islamic principles related to the organization and orientation of spaces and furniture within the house.

Fascinated by the natural monumentality of the timber structure, we chose not to conceal it wherever technically possible, pairing it only with natural, tactile materials such as stone, wood, plaster and rough metal.

The ground floor contains the main living areas, where the couple can comfortably share everyday life and special occasions with the many members of their family. This level also includes an intimate prayer room and two separate private zones for the husband and the wife, each comprising a bedroom, a study, a bathroom and a walk-in closet.

On the first floor, overlooking the living room, a large open space is dedicated to the grandchildren, with a generous table for studying or playing and a relaxed sitting area. This level also contains two cozy bedrooms, one for children and one for guests.

The interiors are conceived as a series of intimate spaces, each defined by its own materials, colors and atmosphere, yet all connected by a shared sense of calm.
