THE SLAVIC HOUSE INTERIOR

The interior of the Slavic House constitutes an integral continuation of its external form – here, the building’s philosophy, according to which we become owners and inhabitants of Planet Earth, materializes in every detail. This idea, combined with inspiration from Slavic architecture, allows us to create interiors that are timeless and modern, yet rooted in tradition, where humans commune with nature in harmony.

“The idea for the Slavic House was born during my stay at the Center of Slavs and Vikings in Wolin. Spending time within the spaces of the open-air museum, we feel very clearly that our ancestors, the Slavs – inhabitants of these remarkably simple and beautiful architectural forms – were owners primarily of picturesque outdoor spaces that provided them with a connection to the landscape. They became, in a sense, part of a natural ecosystem in which a large part of life’s activities took place. It was with this intention that I designed the Slavic House – which creates conditions for living outside, in close connection with the surrounding nature.”

Bogusław Barnaś

The interior of the Slavic House is a direct materialization of the building’s philosophy, in which architecture becomes an extension of the natural ecosystem. The monumental height of the living room and the exposed roof structure add an almost spiritual, contemplative character to the space. The dark tones of the wood and the sandy textures of the walls evoke the colors of the earth, while the colors and textures of the interior emphasize consistency with the building’s facades.

Ubiquitous openwork slats subtly filter the light penetrating the interior and rhythmically connect it with the external space, maintaining the harmony and order visible in the building’s architecture. Meanwhile, well-composed greenery deepens its integration with the surroundings.

The whole creates a mystical space thatinstead of isolatingreconnects man with his primordial home – nature. 

For our Personalized Houses, we create personalized interiors tailored to our clients’ expectations.

Below, we present a second version of the interior design for this house.

In the living area of the houselight wood dominatesharmoniously connecting the kitchen and living room spaces. The openwork terrace roofing also found its continuation in the interior in this version, transitioning into the fluted kitchen ceiling. The lighting is carefully selected to harmonize with the other elements of the interior. The lamps over the kitchen island are made of glass and therefore do not disturb the incredible view outside the windowMeanwhiledecorative pendant lamps in the living room refer in their form to the shape of coffee tables custom-designed by BXB studio. 

A delicate color accent is the brown leather finish of the armchairs and bar stools, which also draw attention with their organic shapes. An interesting decorative element is also the functional, double-sided fireplace, which with its circular form refers to the round window in the dining room. A carefully selected canvas by the Polish artist, Artur Przebindowski, builds the color harmony of the interior.
