The solid walnut staircase rises up from the elegant, herringbone patterned hardwood floors and pairs beautifully with the figured walnut back-paneled wall. The custom railing serves as an exclamation point to the rich design.

The Challenge: Create a rugged yet warm farmhouse feel in a high rise tower. Start with an entire 9600 gross square foot penthouse floor of raw concrete floor, walls and ceiling. Devise inventive ways to address intractable existing conditions including a plumbing layout inconsistent with our Client program, a relatively low ceiling and a massive elevator core and yet take of advantage of panoramic views of the city from all sides. For example, rather than make a bulky drywall enclosure for existing pipes that poke thru the kitchen counter, they are wrapped with antique painted galvanized sheet metal to keep sight lines around the corner as open as possible. Or, transform an unattractive and inconveniently located 24” diameter vertical duct in the middle of Samantha’s and Hannah’s (grandchildren’s) guest bedroom into part of a lovely arched top bed nook. Or, disguise a chase for above floor plumbing runs as the base for an open buffet counter. The oppressive elevator lobby was shortened; terminating in handmade glass and steel garden doors at both ends. Custom details include a groined vaulted ceiling and arched openings with stone pilasters (for future trompe-l’oeil images of a Tuscany countryside). To maximize a feeling of height, the ceilings start low and get higher as they progress to the outside walls. The Program: Create a five bedroom condo for an elderly couple with specific and different needs. Mr. likes his privacy and to stay up late into the night on the internet. He likes order. Mrs. has some physical limits that have been addressed in various ways such as shorter travel distances, a step down shower, raised dishwasher and custom cast (to ensure that they won’t rust) iron grab bars. She prefers more disorder. Spaces should be visually arresting, full of detail and easy to maintain. Private spaces include separate master bathrooms, his and her offices and a multi screened Media Room. The balance of the floor must link spaces into one continuous open room along the south and east elevations using large elements yet keeping an intimate scale, sound control and privacy. For example, a substantial fireplace made of old barn timber framing, country stone and a hammered iron grill is strategically located at the critical Southeast corner. Above, black iron offset pintel hardware allow custom double doors to hide a large flat screen TV. High technology is in place for inconspicuous yet easy use. Icon driven key pads operate lighting, window treatments, audio visual systems with multiple sources and access to movie and music databases and five HVAC zones with independent humidity controls. Outstanding Features: Exterior masonry walls have stone culled from five quarries. Sprinkled throughout are surprises - bricks with words as messages from the past, wood trimmed niches and colored glass. Glass pieces set in window corners offer bursts of color when backlit by the sun. These materials are assembled in a rough irregular fashion to look like the work of a mason from the Italian countryside. Interior ceilings and walls have overlapping layers of two plaster colors. Perimeter ceilings are made of smooth random width cedar. Rough planed cedar beams hide ductwork and allow the maximum ceiling height between them. Custom details are everywhere-consider the ten foot barn doors on overhead track at the service elevator, cedar benches/storage areas that run below window banks, antique air registers, acid washed piano hinges and transom window operators and existing concrete piers that are featured instead of hidden. The floors are made of random width wide plank old oak with hand planed faces and edges. Overall, the elements were carefully selected or painted/stained to form a soft muted gray palate The Country kitchen features an old fashioned style ice box appearance for the refrigerator/freezer, a tin ceiling, a distressed assortment of cabinets in multiple heights, colors and woods such as the cherry wood buffet cabinet with sliding glass doors on both sides. A backlit breakfast counter, a hammered copper hood and chicken wire inserts are part of the effort to make a comfortable, eclectic old fashioned looking Kitchen while containing the latest appliances and storage systems.

Komfoo house interior designed by STUDIO KONDE Konrad Idaszewski Architekt, an interior architecture project from Poznań focused on creating a comfortable contemporary home with a strong sense of warmth and carefully balanced proportions. Visit the full project: https://conde.pl/portfolio/gotowy-projekt-wnetrz-domu-komfoo/ As part of the Modelowedomy collection of three individually configurable houses, Komfoo offers a high living room with a mezzanine, while the kitchen and dining area are separated from the living space by a functional furniture wall, creating distinct zones while preserving the spacious character of the home. This living room combines natural timber, soft neutral upholstery and carefully selected architectural details to create a warm and sophisticated interior. Generous glazing, a high vaulted ceiling and a freestanding wood-burning stove give the space a distinctive character, while the restrained palette of beige, cream, taupe and warm wood keeps the composition calm and cohesive. A generous U-shaped sectional sofa upholstered in light beige fabric occupies the main seating zone, with deep cushions and broad chaise sections creating an inviting arrangement for relaxation. Several large cushions in matching neutral tones soften the substantial form of the sofa, while loosely folded throws add texture and a more relaxed residential character. In front of the seating, two overlapping round coffee tables introduce a contrasting dark element, with smooth black tops set on vertically fluted cylindrical bases. The seating arrangement rests on a large woven rug with a pronounced looped texture and a subtle geometric pattern. Its warm cream and beige tones complement the light timber flooring and visually gather the sofa and coffee tables into a defined lounge area. A small stack of books on one of the tables provides a discreet everyday detail, while the dark furniture creates a clear contrast against the predominantly light interior. One of the strongest features of the room is the fireplace zone positioned along the left-hand wall. A freestanding black wood-burning stove sits on a large light-coloured hearth, with the visible flames introducing a warm glow and a lively accent to the otherwise restrained interior. Beside it, a minimalist black metal log holder displays neatly stacked firewood, while slender fireplace tools stand nearby. The tall black flue rises from the stove towards the ceiling, emphasizing the impressive height of the living room. Behind the fireplace, the wall is covered with narrow vertical white slats that create a finely textured surface and reinforce the room's vertical proportions. Above, the pitched ceiling is finished with large natural timber panels framed by visible wooden beams, bringing warmth and a subtle reference to the architecture of the house. The combination of ribbed wall cladding and exposed timber overhead creates a distinctive backdrop for the fireplace and seating area. Full-height glazing occupies much of the rear façade, opening the living room towards the garden and filling the interior with soft daylight. Sheer vertical blinds filter the light across the windows, while long taupe-grey curtains frame the glazing and add depth to the neutral palette. Mature trees, lawn and a white garden fence are visible outside, providing a natural backdrop to the warm interior. Suspended within the high ceiling volume, a simple cylindrical pendant adds a soft architectural lighting element above the seating area. Its clean white form remains deliberately understated against the timber structure and textured wall surfaces. Through the combination of the vaulted ceiling, natural wood, ribbed wall finish, sculptural coffee tables, generous sectional sofa and freestanding fireplace, the Komfoo living room achieves a comfortable and refined character that reflects the interior architecture approach of STUDIO KONDE and its work as an interior architect in Poznań.
