For STUDIO JEROEN VAN ZWETSELAAR (interior design & styling ), when the designer is designing a home he looks at the soul of the house, the souls of those that live within its walls and the land that surrounds it. This home tells a story through its surroundings, the natural elements and the rebuild of the central wall – done in three layers – to showcase the history of the home.
“I sometimes literally get the colors I use from the environment. This large farm is located in the polder, where the skies can be beautiful, sometimes ominously gray. Those skies inspired me, just like the fields and corn fields, so I chose a lot of natural tones. The farm has been transformed into a spectacular farmhouse by Bart Kellerhuis of Zecc Architecten. A new wooden volume has been added right through the house. All buildings, barns and stables on the 2.5 hectare plot have been demolished. The property is therefore free in the landscape, giving it an unobstructed view in all directions. I worked out the interior architecture together with Bart. One of my tasks was to give warmth to the interior by using vibrant and distinctive materials in the interior, and to design the lighting plan. ” Jeroen Van Zwetselaar
