PARIS LUXURY APARTMENT<\/h3>\n

The challenge studio faced whilst transforming this exclusive Parisian residence was the merging of two apartments into one \u2013 via a small, inconspicuous portal \u2013 to create a seamless living experience. The clients, a family with three small children, delivered a very clear brief on both the functional and aesthetic requirements: a timeless and sophisticated design to suit both formal and informal living. To create a veritable bolt-hole away from the hectic pace of city life, they opted for a subdued color palette.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They grouped the large collection of artworks and accessories by color, carefully placing them in the various spaces, and gave each room its own accent color, such as red, purple or yellow. With no concession on the quality of materials used, this residence truly represents what makes Piet Boon so unique: the ability to create understated luxury and deliver a harmonious living experience. What is more, the owners\u2019 love for beautiful materials and art objects is evident throughout what really has become a home.<\/p>\n

LUXURY CONDOMINIUMS \u2018OOSTEN\u2019 IN WILLIAMSBURG<\/h3>\n

Commissioned by XIN Development Group International, Piet Boon is responsible for the interior design and amenities of the substantial residential development project \u201cOosten\u201d in trendy upcoming neighborhood of South Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Oosten is located at 421 Kent and is situated along South Williamsburg\u2019s waterfront district.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To achieve this designers connected the outside exterior with the inside interior. Without loss of privacy, all homes face a 13,860 square feet landscaped open courtyard providing Oosten\u2019s homeowners with a unique experience of having a \u201chidden garden\u201d. In order to increase the amount of natural light and ensure panoramic views, designers opted for floor-to-ceiling windows. Oosten will boast timeless interiors rooted in the industrial heritage of the waterfront area as well as the building and Piet Boon signature elements of high-quality materials and strong axis lines.<\/p>\n

The Most Iconic Projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n

FLOATING HOME<\/h3>\n

Moored in a beautiful and tranquil spot in a typically Dutch landscape, the houseboat is surrounded by open water on three sides with uninterrupted views to the horizon. The client wanted a minimalist look with a simple ambiance and character, in keeping with the landscape. With that in mind, designers opted for a striking box-shape, finished in black-stained red cedar. Despite strict building regulations dictating its height, they were able to realize two storeys: the bedrooms and basement lie below the waterline.<\/p>\n

When the shutters are closed, the exterior of the houseboat functions like a shell-like enclosure. When drawn back and the patio doors opened, a big \u2018open living\u2019 feel is created. Finally, the high floor-to-ceiling glass windows \u2013 which can be fully opened \u2013 create a powerful sense of connection with the natural surroundings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
