Lia's studio is a good example of how Indigo can be precisely tailored to personal preferences. Because the kitchen, the bathroom and also the staircase are all placed in the middle, the house is split down into a living area and a beautiful atelier. In this way we were also free to make both the front and back façade entirely of glass. Upstairs this offers beautiful views to both sides, which in combination with the curved ceiling provides a pure, meditative space.


 

Up to and including the wardrobe in the bedroom, the entire interior has been specifically designed for Lia and was made-to-measure by our regular carpenter. In this way a harmonious image was created and many smart interventions could be integrated: the staircase, for example, forms part of the shower cabin and a number of steps can be used as a drawer. The floor below is made of pigmented concrete.


 

The floor heating in this house is connected to a ventilation heat pump, which is supplied by ten full black solar panels on the sheltered side of the roof. An efficient wood-burning stove complements this system on harsh winter days. Firewood is chopped from trees at Lia's own site. As the house is shaded by many trees, the living room could be positioned directly south without additional cooling measures.
