Townhouse with mansard and terrace in a 17th century house

The four-story townhouse with an area of 200 square meters is now divided into two two-story apartments with separate entrances and exits. Designers tried to preserve the original layout of the house, so they kept five-meter-high ceilings, a mansard, terrace, wine cellar and made the existing ceiling beams even stronger.

Both apartments are designed in the loft style, which only accentuated the age of the house. Designers restored 17th-century wooden floors and restored red brick walls.

The kitchen finishes feature plenty of wood and brick – the kitchen island and dining table are made from oak, and the brick wall cladding is used on the walls. The color palette is restrained – black, white, beige. The space allows for everything and more – two ovens, a wine refrigerator and even an ice maker.

The loft style implies a lot of open space without doors, so kitchens in the house flow smoothly into dining rooms and dining zones into living rooms.

The living room features a lot of solid furniture: a large leather sofa, thick legs on coffee tables, and large poufs. White walls serve as an excellent backdrop for various interior details, and the abundance of textiles adds coziness.

Plenty of daylight from wide windows and live plants in the living room break up the harsh aesthetics of the loft style.

The bedrooms, like all rooms in the house, are spacious (even too much). There's a lot of art and textiles made from natural fur and fabrics. One of the rooms leads to a walk-in closet, which allows for not cluttering the room with dressers and wardrobes.

The bathroom more resembles a spa. Inside there's a sauna with a relaxation area and a large shower cabin with a tropical shower.

The other bedroom is located right on the mansard. There isn't much space here, but there's plenty of light coming through the windows in the roof and a view of the city. One part of the room has a bed, and another part has a workspace with a desk.

The bathroom is large and spacious. There's room for a jacuzzi, washing machine, double sink, and a 17th-century cabinet that designers restored.
