We are now working on an interior project at Hacienda Buganvilla, a great country home in Coin in Spain of 650 square meters.
Classical and modern design melt together in this home.
Being an early modernist structure, the Hacienda Buganvilla originally combined very classic Spanish style details with clean lines and very dark rooms. We therefor decided to keep both design styles and add light wood insted of originaly dark brown wooden details.
Entrance
The entrance and hall is transparent and is now designed ligh with nice seating places in both ends.
The entryway is one of the best rooms in the house, offering a grand welcome through oversized wooden doors custom made for the home. This is the home’s first introduction to microcement, a design you’ll see throughout the entirety of the home. A custom staircase provides a beautiful focal point, paired with a mix of artwork and a custom armchairs for a bold, eclectic look.
Core in the house
The concept of the internal layout has been changed to create a core in the house. The beautiful kitchen, diningroom and livingroom are placed on left side of the house in one big open area which we created from 4 smaller dark rooms.
This area became the heart of the home around which everything gravitates, creating a natural flow and connection between the different functionalities on the ground floor. Serving as a sort of central axis in the space, the kitchen island is made bespoke in amazing marble stone asserting a certain solidity.
The characteristic stone is moreover repeated in a brushed version by the fireplace, underlining the strong connection in the house.
Master Bedroom
The primary suite is a neutral, calming space, “a world of its own,”. A vaulted ceiling and stunning fireplace are the larger defining elements of the room, layered with light browns, redy, creams, and moody blues. Custom millwork dresses the space up and is paired with neutral, more relaxed drapes in the same color as the walls. “In the primary suite, one of our favorite moments is the modern, but still classy bed” designed by Katrina Urbanik. “We intentionally went smaller with the scale because that intentionality felt unique and a bit of a surprise,”.
The primary suite’s bathroom is full of “cool, custom details,”. One of the more interesting ones is a mixed metal vanity that’s “unlike anything we’ve ever designed,”. Plaster walls and a ceiling in between wood furniture ties the spaces together.
Library
“Instead of doing grasscloth” like in the adjacent dining room, “we did a really beautiful millwork treatment on all of the walls,”. The room is an example of the color-drenched trend, where the drapes and the wall/ceiling color all match. “We really wanted it to feel dramatic but casual,”. For the furniture, Katrina and the design team created groupings according to functions, centering everything on the fireplace as a focal point.
Kidsrooms
Kids bedrooms and guest room are in 2nd floor and are inspired of midtecentury style.
The boysroom are more colorful with dramatic, high contrast paint color that gives a punch when you walk into the room. The color was pulled from the upholstered headboard, which is set off by a trip of baseball hats that act as art. In the ensuite bathroom, Katrina and the design team wrapped the entire room in a subway tile and positioned the vanity and mirror in front of window to solve a layout problem. The result is a great sculptural moment that turned out better than imagined.
The girl bedroom is “as sweet as can be. A bold wallpaper dictated the soft pink color of the contrast trim. “This room was all about layering pattern on pattern on pattern. It totally works and it feels playful and fun. In the ensuite bathroom, Katrina and the design team carried the trim color onto the walls, a design element that House of Urbanik does often in order to make the two rooms feel cohesive. An arched entry to the shower provides a nice focal point from the bedroom that draws your eye in and acts like a piece of art.
