I+G Space is located in the suburbs of Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

The task was to RE/design the existing space between the garage and the main house. The main goal was to make a new entrance for the house, include a small SPA area.

For the entrance we designed a new door, including more natural light. We also used the height of the entrance, so it can seems more spaceous. Because we had existing stairs with granit, we choose neutral flooring, and off-white colors for the walls and wardrobes. The accent are the grey in the rails, metal, handles and wardrobe.  

We decided to make the SPA area more private and when an outside person entres the hallway to be drawn to the stairs into the house and not to the intimate area. This was achieved by using No-Ha handles for the doors which gives the illusion of a wall instead of a door.

In the SPA area we needed to make an useful space for a sauna, ice pool, shower area and a bathroom. We opened the space with two Velux windows and a lot of linear lightning. The window in the sauna  makes the room look more spacious. All the colors are off-white. The accents are the tilles and Shellby lights.

Outside in the garden area we designed a new two car garage with a roundabout with a fountain. The materials used are stone, wood and concrete. The outside walls of the two garage doors and wooden walls. The accent is black granite. The building is simple, and by using natural materials we managed to highlight the beautiful garden and to maintain the idea of the house exterior.
