Choice design, art - and the bath beside the bed.
High above Lake Maggiore, in an exclusive location, stands a grand residence with eight generously proportioned apartments. The interior design transports the architectural language of the building to the interior. The materials and furnishings used were the free choice of the owners with IB taking on a consultancy role.
Apartment 1 gives the impression of a large lounge which has its continuation in the external space. The seating ensemble and the sideboard by edra represent design highlights as does the marble wall in the kitchen which echoes Mies van der Rohe. Art is also present in the shape of the iron sculpture by Oscar Wiggli (b. 1927) and the mural by the Aargau's twin artists Müller Tauscher. The siting of a bath at the foot of the bed in the bedroom is certainly original.
