Guest House
Maasdijk - The Netherlands
This guest house in Maasdijk serves as a guest stay, outdoor kitchen, mancave and bar all in one. The five metre high ceilings and full height windows create a spacious feeling despite the relatively compact footprint. The two large façades can be fully opened through a folding system, making the space ideal during summer. The entire space is heated and cooled by a heat pump, while the wood burning fireplace adds extra warmth and atmosphere during winter. The large bespoke bar was one of the client’s key wishes and includes three refrigerators, a wine climate cabinet, a large cooktop, a ninety centimetre oven, a dishwasher and ample storage space. It is the perfect setting for cooking for larger groups or hosting parties. The building has an L shaped layout and enjoys sunlight throughout the entire day, keeping the interior bright at all times. Everything was painted in a beige tone to create a calm and balanced atmosphere. A personal favourite within this project is the Prado lighting, which is also used in the sanitary spaces to integrate the mechanical installations, a unique feature of this brand.
We are extremely satisfied with our collaboration with Gigi on the realization of our guest house. From the very first contact, he understood exactly what we had in mind and effortlessly translated our wishes and ideas into a beautiful and highly functional result. The main challenge was making the most of the available space, but Gigi immediately saw possibilities where we did not. He created a warm, atmospheric and practical layout in which everything comes together perfectly. The guest house feels like a complete and comfortable place where guests instantly feel at home.
Communication throughout the entire process was clear and pleasant. Everything was carefully coordinated and worked out down to the smallest detail. We truly felt heard and completely taken care of during the entire project. We would highly recommend Gigi to anyone looking for quality, creativity and a professional approach.
Furniture, the environment, the accessories, the people. In a design concept, everything comes together as one whole. Sometimes using existing designs feels out of place. In that case, custom products are designed with GV Custom. For a final result where absolutely everything is perfect.
