“WE WERE ABLE TO REALISE THE SAME HIGH LEVEL OF QUALITY FOR THE EXTERIOR AS WE DID FOR THE INTERIOR”


every detail of the house – from the parapet cladding to the terrace to the exclusive interior. As something of an expert in interior design and high- tech materials, the owner has a keen interest in this particular solid surface material. Its mixture of 75 per cent natural minerals and pigments and 25 per cent acrylic is something he had encountered in previous projects and he was keen to bring its benefits to his own. Dreer explains: “Hi-Macs provides the opportunity of creating nearly any design in nearly any building - regardless of unusual weathering conditions, high degrees of moisture or enormous loads.

The guest bathroom, hidden behind a


wall, contains a Hi-Macs washbasin which includes a deeper hand towel shelf and a place for used hand towels. This opening has no supports or seams and the sink runs diagonally to the wash basin. This fine utilisation of the mineral material thus offers the best possible basis for germ-free areas and meeting the highest of hygienic demands.


BRIGHT LIGHTS In this house, the theme of light plays a central role in every room and serves much more than simple brightness. LED illumination has been integrated within every room, thanks to suspended ceilings which hang freely in the space without attachment to the external walls. The lights have no frames and are installed flush into the ceilings. The light dimmers are hidden behind
