Interior of Tuklaty House by Banality Studio Combines Calm and Unique

The interior design by Banality Studio retained Tuklaty’s context, character and small scale.

“The rural context encouraged and inspired simplicity and modesty,” said the studio.

“The concept of the design was based on natural materials, limiting their diversity and exoticism to a minimum.”

The primary materials used in the Czech interior were natural wood in the form of oak and spruce, natural stone and ceramics.

Banality Studio met with the clients and the construction company on-site “when the shell structure was completed.”

The studio began its renovations of the Czech house with the single-story house’s symmetrical and simply structured interior comprising outer walls and two supporting middle frames.

The first design choice was to redefine Tuklaty’s spaces for greater efficiency, making them “more suitable for the clients.”

Thereafter, Banality Studio addressed the open-roofed living spaces by including acoustic-optimising solutions, like wooden slats constructed of bleached spruce for greater comfort.

This “light and soft material,” found on the ceilings, is reflected in the oak flooring for the built-in wardrobes and partition with sliding doors in the hallway.

Oak was also used for “a custom bed with a headboard and nightstands in the main bedroom.” The oak flooring in Tuklaty transitions into the kitchen unit.

The other surfaces in the house are styled similarly in neutral tones with light gray-beige cement plaster or light gray, variably toned tiles in a herringbone pattern.

In Tuklaty’s “spatially simple” interior, the bathrooms are “a slightly exaggerated exception.”

“As small enclosed spaces it can afford this, and it was also an opportunity for users to have something unique,” added the studio.

Tuklaty’s bathrooms were designed with green-tone plaster combined with black stone and accents of larch cabinets, shelves or ceilings.

The gym, originally designed as a garage, showcases a “single bright, stimulating color” as its flooring.
