Home & garden - Bronkhorst Netherlands
In Bronkhorst, Ante Quercus realised a total concept in which interior and garden come together in balance. The home exudes tranquillity and refinement through the use of natural materials, soft colours and a timeless design language.
Inside, a large sofa and a generous carpet have been chosen to visually enlarge the space while offering warmth and comfort. The walls are finished in ecological chalk paint, creating a soft and natural look. Linen curtains subtly filter the light and enhance the serene atmosphere in the living space. The open cabinet system replaces traditional built-in cupboards and offers airiness and flexibility, in keeping with a contemporary way of living.
The walls are adorned with art by Matisse, whose powerful line drawings bring elegance and simplicity to the space. The works form a dialogue with the understated materials and furniture and fit seamlessly with the vision of warm minimalist living. The result is an interior in which art and design reinforce each other. The whole can be aptly described as Matisse's art in a warm minimalist interior – a combination that exudes refinement and tranquillity.
The choice of Italian furniture emphasises a love of high-quality materials and craftsmanship. The clean lines, elegant shapes and subtle details harmonise beautifully with the understated base, creating a timeless and personal interior.
The garden is a natural extension of the interior. A sleek, elongated pond with aquatic plants and reflections of sky and light takes centre stage. Intimate seating areas are arranged around it, ranging from elegant butterfly chairs to comfortable sun loungers. Gravel paths, ornamental grasses and compact hedges create structure, while the planting changes with the seasons, adding a natural dynamic.
The Bronkhorst project demonstrates how interior architecture and garden design reinforce each other. Ante Quercus translates the vision of warm minimalism into a living environment that exudes tranquillity, space and refinement. A home where functionality and beauty go hand in hand and where the resident can enjoy harmony and balance every day.
