The Nordic kitchen

Contemporary Kitchen

This residence perfectly embodies the balance between functionality and timeless elegance. Custom-designed by the teams at Ateliers Jacob, it reflects a cohesive and confident vision that extends through every room, from the finished basement to the master bathroom. Each space tells the same story: that of an interior designed to last, where everyday comfort is enjoyed without ever compromising on design.

A Modern Kitchen at the Heart of the Home

Bright and spacious, the modern kitchen immediately stands out as the beating heart of this home. It centres around a large island featuring two complementary materials off-white lacquer and warm, natural oak with clean lines offering both a functional workspace and a welcoming gathering place. A veined quartz countertop runs along a marble-effect backsplash, creating a understated and refined backdrop that highlights the custom cabinets. The tall cabinets, finished in golden-hued wood, add a bold vertical element that structures the entire room without weighing it down.

The cylindrical black light fixtures, carefully arranged on the ceiling, add a subtle industrial touch to the space. The dark velvet chairs anchor the dining area with character, creating a striking contrast with the room’s overall brightness. A design that is both sleek and vibrant, perfectly suited to an active family life where every detail has been thoughtfully considered to make daily life easier.

A Bathroom That Invites You to Relax

The master bathroom stands out for its atmosphere, reminiscent of a private spa, designed entirely to promote rest and serenity. As soon as you enter, the freestanding bathtub catches your eye; positioned in front of the large windows, it lets in soft, natural light filtered through the blinds, creating a soothing ambiance at any time of day.

Opposite the double white quartz sink, the wall-mounted cabinet combines a stormy gray lacquer finish with natural oak, adding subtle depth to the overall design. The choice of materials wood, white quartz, and anthracite tiles reflects the attention to detail characteristic of Ateliers Jacob’s design. This interplay between the warmth of the wood and the coolness of the gray extends all the way to the floor. The two imposing black-framed mirrors, accompanied by slender wall sconces, create a refined sense of symmetry that enhances the room without overwhelming it.

A Relaxation Area in the Basement

As you head down to the basement, the atmosphere becomes decidedly cozier. Far from the hustle and bustle of the ground floor, this intimate living room invites you to relax and enjoy the company of others. A large modular sofa upholstered in textured fabric takes center stage, accompanied by a rounded reading ottoman and a shaggy rug that adds warmth to the atmosphere. The ensemble exudes an enveloping coziness, perfect for evenings with family or friends.

At the back, a built-in bar in gray lacquer accented with natural oak blends seamlessly with the home’s overall design. Its open cabinets and shelves, framed by wooden columns, display glasses and bottles with casual elegance. The carefully selected materials natural wood, dark lacquer, and textured surfaces—reinforce the aesthetic coherence of the space. Soft lighting enhances the room’s warm and intimate character, making this space a true sanctuary at the heart of the home.

One Project, One Signature

From design to completion, this project fully embodies Ateliers Jacob’s commitment: to create custom spaces that reflect the true identity of those who live in them. Every choice of material, every finishing detail, and every interplay of light attests to meticulous craftsmanship and a sincere aesthetic sensibility.
