Oak Soul

In this new project, the space transforms into a story of harmony and modernity.
A skillful use of materials defines the spaces: the warmth of wood, the lightness of white, and the depth of black intertwine in a contemporary balance.

Materials, light, and volumes become essential, and every detail contributes to a sense of fluidity and lightness. The kitchen, both essential and functional, opens naturally onto the living area and entrance through a corridor lined with thermo-treated oak paneling.

The paneling becomes the cornerstone of the project, enveloping the space in thermo-treated oak, chosen in a medium tone—not too dark nor too light—capable of balancing an already bright environment dominated by light colors. The kitchen, with pearl gray shades, is embraced by a deep-toned Dekton countertop with subtle light veins and features a central island designed for more informal and dynamic moments.

The dining table, solid and welcoming, custom-designed and crafted in detail, becomes a place of gathering and conviviality, while the living area is intended for more intimate and relaxing moments. The entire living space is lined with paneling, whose intensity warms the environment, giving it a more masculine and refined feel, in a story of continuity and harmony.

Anthracite slats shape perspectives, partially obscure the view, and act as a unifying motif, marking transitions and creating subtle divisions between spaces. The paneling also conceals service areas and access to the sleeping area, maintaining visual fluidity and coherence.

In the bathroom, thermo-treated oak returns as a connecting element in a custom-made column cabinet with internal shelves and space for the washing machine, combining functionality with elegance.

This renovation is not just an aesthetic intervention, but a new way of living the home: a space that welcomes, breathes, and tells a lifestyle story defined by beauty, functionality, and harmony.
