Mid-Century Villa

Mid-Century Villa

by I + Y Interior Architecture

This interior design project reinterprets a mid-century villa designed by BNLA architects, building on its introverted street-facing facade and open, garden-oriented rear. A core of smoked oak unifies the ground floor spaces, punctuated by a large pivoting door and two fireplaces that quietly divide kitchen, dining and living areas. A sunken lounge, home cinema and bespoke bar and wine cabinets add distinct, intimate zones throughout the home.

The design hinges on the contrast between closed and open facades: private rooms face the street, while living spaces open fully towards the garden through sliding glass walls. A smoked oak core runs through the ground floor, creating a warm, continuous backbone that links kitchen, dining and living areas while concealing a large pivoting door.

Within the open plan, two fireplaces and a sunken seating pit establish separate zones without the need for walls. Natural stone countertops, travertine bases and dark wood cabinetry recur throughout, from the kitchen island to the bespoke bar and wine storage, giving the interior a consistent material language.

Further additions, including a private home cinema with acoustic finishes, extend the living concept beyond the main social spaces, reflecting a layered approach to everyday use of the house.
