From the architect: When someone travels to faraway places like Asia and Oceania for 20 years, they change a lot. NOA made a special design for someone who came back to Innsbruck after their adventure, to remind them of the cool places they visited.
NOA, a group that designs buildings and interiors, wanted to turn an empty space in the middle of Innsbruck into a place for a traveler to live in. They had already done similar projects before. The person who wanted the space had lived in many different countries, and the space had a great view of the mountains. This made the project exciting and fun to work on.
“Every picture or decoration we make tells a story. For this project, we wanted to include things that were important to the person we were making it for, like special things they had collected over their life. We wanted to make sure those things looked really nice in the design we made.” explains Lukas Rungger, NOA founder.
The people who design the inside of houses looked at a drawing of the flat and saw that it was a big square with a part in the middle for the stairs and things like that. They decided where to put things like the living room and kitchen based on where the sun shines in the windows. In the morning, there is a place to work with a desk and bookshelf, and in the afternoon, there is a cozy place to sit. The kitchen is in the middle and the dining table is in a spot where the sun sets. There are also two bedrooms on the other side. The designers wanted to use light to make the inside of the house look nice, and they named it after a word that means "space of light" in a language from New Zealand.
The colors inside the room are mostly black and white, with a little bit of yellow. The furniture looks simple and neat, and the room has a calm and peaceful feeling that reminds you of Asia.
"We used dark colors and materials to make the room feel cozy and focused on the mountains and some special things. We covered the walls with wooden slats to make them darker." continues interior designer Niccolò Panzani.
Furniture includes a Tufty Time sofa from B&B Italia, a black leather armchair from Living Divani's Erachair collection, a saffron nubuck leather armchair from Baxter's Gemma collection, a paper pendant rice paper lamp from vipp, and a hat from Aromas del Campo. Includes lamp. By contrast, the surface is:
The kitchen top, bar cabinets and coffee table are made of black quartzite "Noir Blanc" by Antolini, while the designer chose white quartzite "Mont Blanc" by Favorite for the dining table. White has also returned to the bathroom surfaces, and tiles from Botteganové's Flora collection recreate large Polynesian palm leaves in macro photography.
Three non lars, a conical straw hat, a large Indian painting in the dining area and a warrior statue with a Burmese umbrella complete the apartment with distant views of Innsbruck's mountains.
