The dwelling was designed to provide a calm refuge from the hectic pulse of the city, with a minimalist interior that combines warm, functional and aesthetic qualities to create a relaxing and harmonious setting.
Dinesen Oak plays a central role in the bespoke solutions that define the interior. The timeless quality of the wood is highlighted in custom-made features designed to match the feel and functions of the flat. These specially designed elements include a bedframe, a wardrobe, a shelving unit and an integrated desk, all made of Dinesen Oak, which adds a warm and organic touch to the space.
The tactile materials selected for the interior solutions create an experience that elevates the design from being mainly visual role to having sensuous impact. Every element of the interior was carefully selected to support the calm and harmonious atmosphere. Dinesen Oak make a contribution that is not just aesthetic but also functional, as the natural and durable materials blend perfectly into Norm Architects’ stringent and simple design expression.
With a high priority on the sourcing of materials and a keen eye for details, Norm Architects demonstrate their dedication to quality and timeless design in their design of Kent Avenue Penthouse. The result is a dwelling where aesthetic and functional qualities come together in a harmonious, modern and luxurious space – a genuine tribute to natural materials and their ability to provide calm in an otherwise hectic world.
