Stylish bathroom interior behind charming slate facade
Düsseldorfer Straße in Mettmann is characterised by historic houses with a sloping front. The architect Werner Sübai (HPP Architekten Düsseldorf) now lives in one of these buildings, which was then equipped with weaving chairs for the textile business of Neviandt & Pfleiderer. Typically for the slate houses, which were built around 1800, all windows have mountainous green shutters. The two-storey grape house with three rooftops has been extensively renovated with meticulous attention to detail and substance. The charm of the past should be preserved despite the combination with modern materials. Exposed beams provide a view of the historic building structure. Light clay plastered and fitted with fine wooden floors make the rooms look inviting and cosy. Favourite pieces, rarities and design objects dominate the tasteful interior design.
The high-quality interior architecture continues in the bathrooms: Werner Sübai opted for the EDITION LIGNATUR from KEUCO, which was created in cooperation with Team 7, a natural wood furniture specialist. The solid wood bathroom furniture in light oak harmonises with the floor. The sail of light of the EDITION LIGNATUR light mirror brings the washing area to life with enormous luminosity. In addition to the design, the sophisticated technology, which is controlled via the control panel, also comes from KEUCO. In addition to various light colours and a dimming function, it also includes a practical mirror heater that ensures a mist-free view after showering. The slim mixer taps and accessories of the EDITION 400 round off the high-quality image.
IXMO mixer taps decorate the shower with discretion. With its unique combination of functions, KEUCO combines innovative technology and minimalist design. The number of products on the wall can thus be reduced to a minimum and, with a diameter or edge length of only 90 mm and a depth of only 80 mm, the visible parts are impressively small. Particularly attractive for the shower design: All chrome-plated fitting parts are the same size. A stylish bathroom behind a charming slate facade in Bergisches Land.
