The Stone cottage exudes an understated elegance anchored by a soulful palette of natural materials. A dark graphite floor, composed of large-format tiles mimicking the veins of black Calacatta marble grounds the scheme, while the walls, a tactile interplay of raw concrete and clay plaster infused with straw chaff, add texture and depth. The use of plywood in both the ceiling and staircase balustrade enhances the organic aesthetic, softening the overall scheme and lending warmth to the minimalist interior.
A focal point of the open-plan living area is the oval dining table, a vintage design reminiscent of Rainer Daumiller’s iconic pieces, paired with an eclectic collection of woven-seat chairs, most of which were sourced second-hand. Complementing the dining area is a Danish armchair from the 1970s, originally part of a modular sofa, which has been reimagined as a cosy reading nook.
