Project description from design firms AUGUST BURO
The color palette is restrained, typical of masculine interiors, yet far from monotonous — enriched with interesting and complex nuances, expressive textures of wood and marble.
Regarding finishes — perfection lies in the details and natural materials. We paid special attention to the tactile qualities of the interior so that every surface feels pleasant to the touch.
To keep the interior interesting while maintaining laconic coherence, we used the same type of material with different designs — for example, in the bathroom we combined different finishes of the same marble type, with smooth and ribbed surfaces.
We planned a spacious master block with a bedroom, work area, wardrobe space, and master bathroom. The master block is spacious and functional: a large Molteni bed upholstered in a combination of leather and fabric, a soft bedside bench, nightstands with marble tops and leather finish.
Part of the ceiling in the room is decorated with veneered panels to conceal a ceiling-mounted retractable projector. The room also includes a small wardrobe by Poliform, creating a cohesive composition that harmonizes and makes the space functional and more open.
By one window, there is a desk and leather chair from Poltrona Frau. By another window, a cozy lounge chair and a small marble table, also from Poltrona Frau.
From the bedroom, you enter the master bathroom. The walls and floor are finished in uniform marble to create a relaxing spa-like atmosphere. Veneer elements are also present, linking the bathroom to the bedroom.
The guest room features a sofa bed, ample storage, and a small writing desk.
The guest room décor is quite laconic. The main accents are wall panels and graphic artworks. The ergonomic workspace includes a desk and chair by Cattelan Italia.
Special attention was given to the flawless combination of architectural, interior, and engineering solutions.
We really like that during the creation of this interior, we developed the perfect formula for a luxurious masculine retreat. The project became the quintessence of what our male clients desire — distinguished, successful, accomplished, and affluent individuals.
We have repeatedly confirmed this — regardless of aesthetic preferences or family status, every AUGUST BURO client who has seen the visualizations of this project in our portfolio has expressed a desire to create something similar in their home or office.
