Architects from the MMOA studio faced an interesting task - the interior design of a thirty-year-old house in Siemianowice Slaskie. Thanks to well-thought-out changes, not interfering with the structural assumptions, the designers created a friendly, open space full of greenery. Appropriately selected materials, colors and furnishings created a modern arrangement, full of simple and geometric forms.
The unusual house, surrounded by an oasis of greenery - a private park created by the owners, is hidden in a typically mining town - Siemianowice Slaskie. The characteristic body of the building with one wall in the form of an arch, designed thirty years ago, required refreshment and introduction of modernity and modern trends into the interiors.

The house, with an area of 340 meters each, has a mezzanine floor, which makes the interiors spacious and open. This impression is enhanced by large windows that bring natural light into all spaces. MMOA designers respected the premise of the existing building creating a huge open space, further emphasizing it with the whiteness of the materials used. Communication seamlessly connects the various parts of the first floor - the kitchen and dining room are adjacent to the living room, which was distinguished by introducing a slight difference in level.

three colors
The architects used a bright and very consistent color palette for all interiors. The first floor, where the open-plan living area is located, is dominated by white and black, with only the wall by the stairs leading to the mezzanine finished with a veneer in a light shade of wood. This is an introduction to the arrangement on the first floor, where the main colors are light wood and white, complemented by black accents. Thanks to the use of three colors, in different configurations, the arrangement of the entire house is consistent, but clearly distinguishes the first floor from the first floor.

green jungle
The living area is minimalist, full of simple geometric shapes. White walls were juxtaposed with large-format marble slabs with light gray veining, with which the floor of the first floor of the building was decorated. In the lounge area stood two comfortable gray sofas. A unique decoration and at the same time a color accent is a jungle of green plants, harmonizing with the beautiful garden outside the window. Lush plantings wrap around the lounge area of the living room and subtly separate the kitchen and dining area. Black was introduced as a colorful detail - matte black planes build the dynamics of the whole composition. Attention is drawn to the modern fireplace with a high casing in the living room, as well as the kitchen and dining room equipment.

The dining area was arranged adjacent to a large glazing, so the space is filled with light and the greenery of the garden. Hand in hand with the design goes functionality - two large, illuminated worktops guarantee adequate space for preparing meals, while well-organized storage space helps keep things tidy. A cabinet along one of the walls seamlessly connects the kitchen and dining area, where a large round table with seating for eight stood. Gold ornaments on the walls add accent.

private area on the mezzanine
Climbing the stairs, we reach the mezzanine - the private part of the house. In this open space, the architects arranged a study and library zone. In consultation with the investors, the architects decided to demolish one wall of the bedroom, replacing it with a huge sliding door of light oak veneer, which consistently appears throughout the house.

The bedroom has been combined with a dressing room. There is also a bath room that resembles a home spa. A white illuminated stretch ceiling over the staircase and the replacement of steel balustrades with transparent glass panels further opened up the floor space.
