Neumann

This modern two-storey house with a flat roof and natural timber cladding is set in a wooded landscape near the north German coast. It was designed as a bolthole for the clients, whose work has taken them all over the world. A sophisticated lighting concept with flicker-free LEDs showcases the considerable art collection the family has amassed on their travels, highlighting the artworks and presenting them in the best possible light. The ground floor library with floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and the adjacent living room both have deep window seats with concealed reading lamps.
