A 15th century house with modern touches

Built in 1458, this historic home in the heart of a village has been revitalized by its current owner and her family. With the help of interior designer Maria Just, a reform has been carried out that respects the original architecture, using natural materials such as wood, stone, and natural fibers.

The house, with several Gothic arches and its original structure, has kept its historical elements intact. The arches and the original staircase, as well as the handmade clay tiles, have been restored. The ground floor houses the entrance hall, kitchen, dining room, and living room, with a wood-burning fireplace and a skylight that illuminates the home.

The original sky blue color is a common thread throughout the project. The bathrooms are clad in blue glazed tiles, and the original blue pigment has been preserved in a room in the attic. In the bathrooms, the Bathco New Lys natural porcelain sink, adding a touch of modernity without losing its rustic charm.

Maria Just has succeeded in combining the rustic style of the 15th century with the modern comfort of the 21st century. The use of wood, white, and natural elements, such as rush and clay, contrasts perfectly with the stone walls and gothic arches, achieving a balance between modernity and craftsmanship.
