It’s the countryside outside Coin, Spain, where House of Urbanik first home project in Spain is based. Just minutes from the slopes, the vibrancy of Coin village, and the mountains where opportunities to connect with nature abound. This is a study in classic House of Urbanik & Co design.
Hacienda Buganvilla is beautiful like the Buganvilla flowers.
Starting in the entryway, we wanted it to look like oak. We wanted this entryway to give you a big, warm hug and welcome upon walking in.
One of the biggest challenges we and the design team faced when redesigning the sprawling 670m2 of our latest project, Hacienda Bugamvilla, was the square footage itself. We wanted the home to keep the Spanish touch, but still redesign it to a more modern version of farm residential vibe, which is all about quaint, cozy spaces with a classic and rustic country feel.
Elsewhere in the home, this was accomplished by bringing in loads of natural materials like stone and wood, introducing lots of layers, patterns, and prints, and taking moments of visual relief to break up symmetry or deeply modern elements like a state-of-the-art entertainer’s kitchen.
But to really give the hacienda the unique feel, Katrina and the design team took one space to par down in scale, an “intimate nook. The hearth room was just the answer. Sitting off to the side of the great room but still connected in an open-floorplan fashion, the hearth room is a cozy space divided from the others by rustic timber beams. All three of the walls of the hearth room are covered by the same stone used on the exterior of the home and throughout some of the communal spaces of the home elsewhere. These building materials go a long way in creating a warm and inviting space without even taking into consideration the furniture and styling elements that are brought within.
