When a family of five came to us wanting to create a home that would honor each person's individuality while keeping everyone connected, we understood we weren't just designing for square meters—we were creating a place where three children could grow up feeling seen. The challenge wasn't fitting everyone in; the challenge was making sure each child had a space that felt like theirs, while the whole house still felt like one family's story. Our solution came through balancing cohesion with individuality—a foundation of warm oak cabinetry, gray porcelain surfaces, and soft white walls runs through the entire home, while each bedroom tells its own chapter.
The heart of this home lives in the shared spaces. The kitchen is where everything centers—full-height oak veneer cabinets meet a Norr Mirage porcelain island where breakfast happens, homework spreads out, and someone's always asking what's for dinner. The Noctambule Suspension lights by Flos beautifully complement the atmosphere, adding a light and transparent accent. We designed it to handle the chaos of three kids but still look pulled together when guests arrive. The dining area opens naturally into the living room, framed by glass shelving that displays family memories without feeling cluttered.
The master bedroom became a quiet retreat for parents who needed somewhere to recharge—oak veneer wall panels floor to ceiling, cream upholstery, and Bomma Orbital pendant lights (a Czech brand, by the way) that don't require much thought after a long day. The bathroom carries the same refinement with fluted details and gray Norr Mirage porcelain that stands up to wet towels and morning rush. This isn't a showroom—it's a working family home designed to adapt as kids grow, interests shift, and life gets messy. Every material was chosen to age well, and every layout accounts for how people actually move through space when you're juggling four different schedules, four different bedtimes, and somehow still trying to have dinner together.
The youngest children share a room dressed in gentle sage green, with circular shelving for treasures and custom beds that match the children's wishes. The little girl's room glows pink with round niches for display and rattan storage where toys hide but stay within reach. The teenager gets an attic room with terracotta-patterned walls that feel grown-up without trying too hard, plus a proper desk for homework. Next to her attic room, we created a playroom where the children can dive together into a world of games and fun.
