丘の上に建てられたドーナッツ型の家。リビングからは大海原が一望できる絶景が広がる。どの部屋にいても家族を感じる事ができ どの部屋にいても360°様々な景色を感じられる そんな空間です。そこへ落とし込む家具スタイリング。まずは家具全体が主張しすぎることなく 程よい存在感となることをコンセプトにセレクトしました。メインのリビングダイニングルームでは円形にこだわったダイニングテーブルを製作。8人掛けできるφ1600サイズの特大大理石をスラブから切り出して制作。薄いグレー味の石が空間に主張しすぎることなく適度な存在感となった。脚はウォルナットを削り出してオリジナルで制作。その奥へつながるキッチン脇の朝食スペース。半円型のテーブル天板はリノリウムを使用。ピスタチオグリーンが相まってグレーのファブリックとも相性良くまとまった。各部屋それぞれが程よく個性と可愛さがある家具たち。この円形の家に心地よく丸く収めることができた。
The project is for the doughnut shaped house built on top of the hill has a spectacular view of the ocean that can be viewed from the living room.
We were responsible for an interior styling for this house that enables family members to communicate and feel presence of one another wherever they are in the house. When selecting furniture pieces for the client, we made sure that they would need to give nice accents to each room without making the presence of the furniture too strong.
A key feature in the main living / dining room is the 1600mm diameter round table that is large enough for a gathering of up to 8 people. It is made of a single slab of marble called Aurisina Fiorito, which light grey colour of the stone works beautifully well in the space without being too much of a statement. Its legs are made of walnut that was carved out to create a one and only piece specially for the client. The finished table is fixed to the floor because of its heavy weight.
The dining room leads to the small space by the kitchen designed for eating breakfast. For this room, we placed a semi-circle table with linoleum for the table top, which pistachio green colour goes well with the grey fabric chosen for the bench.
Each room is decorated with furniture with a right amount of character and charm and all fit really well and creates a good harmony in this circular house.
Explanations of each room:
- Playroom -
The tiered sofa is a perfect place in the house for children to relax and play.
The opposite side of the space comes with a wall mounted TV and projector for a family to watch movies together.
- Dining room -

The pendant light uses a product of Artemide called "nh ceiling light”.
The pendant light "Patera" by Louis Poulsen and floor light "big shadow" by Cappelini were selected for this area to provide a gentle lighting effect in order to accentuate the 360 degrees view overlooking the ocean through the windows.
